Enjoying the little victories

So things are moving right along. I get on the scale friday. I don't feel any lighter, but my body seems alot happier. Some of the issues was huffing and puffing up a small hill I have to work to work in the subway station, my ankles and feet swelling, back hurting, no energy. All of that has changed. Ankles have gone down, feet are good. Its even easier to put on sandals because they aren't so swollen. I can see the difference walking up steps. I mean I running, but I am not sitting wondering if my heart is ok or not.

Me eating for the most part has been pretty ok. My eating plan is eat like I have some damn sense.

So breakfast at home, which mean I'm not eating the really high calorie and expensive breakfasts I was. Right now there isn't anything I want to bring for lunch and I'm tired of frozen meals. So I have given myself 10 bucks a day to eat lunch, and preferably no fast food. So I think alot more about what I'm eating. I think I'll end up at the wholefoods buffet which had been the bane of my existence. I would always spend $20+. Can you say over eating...Anyway. With only $10 to spend I make better choices and it gives me to have a little more variety. I think one of my downfalls before was I stuck to eating the same things over and over again and got bored and then didn't know what to eat.

So when I get to work I guess I have it ingrained in my head that I'm supposed to eat, so I buy fruit and south beach bars to work that out. After 2 plums and a bar I'm usually satisfied enough till lunch.

There have been some bumps to the wagon. I went to the movies last night. I had a hagendaz ice cream bar and a hot dog. Also when I went to whole foods and hit $15. but since thats 10-15 less than usual AND I had chicken, and HEAL of broccolini and some macaroni.

Exercise is ok, I'm not pushing myself to goal here is to make sure I stick to a regular schedule DO something.

35 min excercise, WATP and weghts

Well I got back on track with the walking. 7 miles in 2 days is alot compared to where i started from and would be nice to knock out 10 miles by sunday (the end of my work out week). Well on 3fc I have noticed how bad High Frucose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is. So I had some lamb to cook and wanted some flavor. So instead of the marinade (which has HFCS) I bought I put some olive oil, rosemary and thyme in a pan and heated that then added the lamb. A little salt and pepper on both sides. It was probably the best lamb I have ever cooked. I think I am going to give the un-used stuff to my family and finish up the rest. Or we'll see. Something else that happened yesterday. I take the bus from NY to NJ to go home and there is a long escalator to get to the bus top. Easily 20-30 feet.....and the escalator wasn't working. I walked up without stoping. I didn't feel like I was going to die and at the top I didn't stop I kept moving to get to where I had to go. So I realized...

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal.  I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused.  If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going.  The worse thing you can do is stop trying.  Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee.  I ended up having this weird sugar headache.  I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough.  After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues.  It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...
