Finding my Motivation

So I got up this morning and had the usual conversation in my head about whether I should work out or not. I got up headed for the computer and the first site I went to was 3 fat chicks and happened upon a thread about all the things people could do now that they had lost weight. I remember those days and I want them back. I was convincing myself 15 min WATP was enough since I plan to do a big workout tomorrow. I think I'm bored with my DVDs so I got on my cable box which I think I pay way too much money for and browsed excercise TV. I did kendall hogan. I watched about 5 min of it to make sure it wasn't too extreme and jumped in Kendal is a beast...lol. It was mostly low impact and lots of choreography. I probably would have turned it off, but I said I am going to do this. By 10 min I was sweating, but Kendall is perky with out being annoying and by the end of it I had done the 30 min without even noticing.

I will say for the moves I couldn't do or went to quickly for me I either modified it for myself or walked in place till I could catch up. Proud of myself that I didn't give up.

I'll be looking for more of Kendall

I also have been looking for a new weight workout. I found one, but it is 40 min and it looks painful we'll see. Wish me luck.

I cooked a bunch of stuff last night, so I should be good for food this week. something else for the most part it is all organic, meaning I didn't use any additives. Other than spices and herbs there are not added chemicals or corn syrup whatever.

Feeling Good.

1lb

Well this week end been a little wacky. I didn't eat anything I planned to eat. I didn't over eat and I think I made good choices all week. I only exercised once this week which I'm not entirely happy with, but I'm ok with that too. Back at it tomorrow (Saturday). So anyway. I know I haven't had the big 3-4 weight loss I had been having so I jumped on the scale. I'm down a pound( to 333) . Its nice because I haven't gained, but I would like to be firmly in the 320s by the end of the month. I have managed to stick to my lent goals with the exception of the 2 beef meals I've had. I will admit Applebees has been calling and it was rough avoiding the scallops with bacon but I'm ok. Funny who I can ignore the Ben and Jerry's and not the scallops. I wonder if it will get easier. Happy that I am not forming any new attachments with food. I do have a craving for hooter, but I think their salads (if you can call it that, more like salad dressi...

Reading through my Blog/ Learning more about me

So I was looking for distraction from the vending machine monster and I found a 100 calorie snack ( i need to start carrying those again) and realized I was 312 lbs back in April. :-(, but I think the good thing is I am back at 312 and will soon be lower. I also learned spring and summer are bad times for me and I need to learn to modify my exercise plan during the summer. I think I felt like if I didn't feel like working out I couldn't do anything. I should have done maybe 30 min or something...We'll see I also noticed I am slightly scale obsessed, but like I posted before the scale has been who I judge myself and right now I WANT to be under 300lbs. So between the 100 cal snack and reading 3fc and the blog I am ok. Now home to a bowl full of mixed vegetables ( lol and I am actually looking forward to it)

Repeating Mistakes/ To fibit not to fitbit

LOL once I start blogging I can't stop. So I'm in the exercise groove...I've been here before..the weight is coming off.  I'm eating right, feeling good..and then...I do too much, get frustrated and binge and then quit...sigh So I started posting on 3 fat chicks again.  I felt like I need an outlet for things I was feeling without judgement and I like reading about other people struggles so I don't feel alone.  I am avoiding any challenges and any group posts.  The posts where everyone already knows everyone so you post but no one responds because they don't really know you...blah... The reality is I don't do well on challenges and it stops becoming about weight loss and feeling good and more about "winning" nothing..because there is no actual prize.  If I win yeah..but often I "lose" and feel bad and then begins a downward spiral into feeling like a failure.  Weirdly this is also the reason I never got into counting carbs or cal...
