NSV victories are a beautiful thing

I gained 2 lbs, but I am due for my period so I am going to hold judgment till it over. Until then I am trying to stay focused.

So my ex-fiance who is staying with me, bought a bunch of ice cream in addition to the stuff I replaced of his that I ate. I can't have ice cream for 21 days. I haven't touched it. I did have a little extra a dinner, but I"m ok with that. I missed my workout this morning and thanks to exercise TV I went to the training room at work and did a kendall hogan workout for 20 min (loved it and was sad when it ended. Going to see if he had a longer one.

I tried Steve M, the 40 workout, but the stopping and starting got to me and I think its really an interval strengeth training which isn't my thing.

So I'm going back to Chris 10lb blast on friday.

Also drum roll...I worked out on a tue...at work...hoping I can continue the at work thing. I brought in a WATP 2 mi DVD and we did the first mile. I didn't count it in my min because I didn't get much out of it since there were some technical difficulties and the person I was with couldn't do much more than a mile.

So next will be a key weigh in.

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...
