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.

Quick Recap

Well I am ashamed it has been this long since I posted. I got down to 306 after much not eating and too much exercising, but after the trip to Jamaica I haven't gotten back in the groove of things. I think alot of that has to do with issues with the Ex. Those may not be settled, but i am not as emotionally invested as I won't was. With IE I was able to stay at 320 or under. I am 312 now, and focused once again. I am not nearly as strict as I was, which might also explain why I haven't gotten under 300. Anyway....Thats where I am at now. Will try and write more later.

Finding Joy in the Little Changes

So it's taken me 2 months to lose 4 lbs. I know people are are gonna ready that and be like dude you suck. There are a couple of things to note: When I started 2 months ago I was 359 and then the week after I went up to 363. I checked my spreadsheet and I haven't been 355 or lower in 4 years. I've been struggling in the 360s for YEARS !!!!!! I've been in the 350s for a couple of weeks with a mostly steady decline I'm not struggling with eating, and working out is doable. In terms of non scale victories. I can eat salad. It isn't the end of the world and honestly when I'm out and about it takes the weight of having to figure out what to eat. I don't feel the need to eat EVERYTHING on my plate. I don't eat what I don't want. ( We will ignore the cream puff I had yesterday) I have more energy. I don't come home and veg doing nothing until bed time. I mean I do it sometimes, but if I need to do something I am more lik...

Avoiding Vacation Sticker Shock and Rebounding

Back from Miami. I have come to realize women are awesome and can form great bonds, but they can also be full of drama for no reason. I had a great time and definitely want to go back. The "rules" for my trip away were no pasta, rice or potoatoes. I think I had rice or potatoes with most of my meals. I didn't go overboard, no binging or huge portions. Then there was the drinking. I haven't really drank in a while...so I didn't go overboard, but I drank my fair share. Drinks at Wet Willies in Miami My ankles were not the biggest I've seen, but definitely swollen. I decided when I got back no scale. I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. When I got back it was a struggle to get up and workout. It almost felt like the first couple of weeks. Also doing things that had gotten easier felt like a big of a struggle. Tuesday I got on the scale and I was 359.0. I am stupidly happy I was in the 350s. I'm als...
