A day of non scale victories

So yesterday I didn't workout at all.  I was ok with it.  I also decided since i cook just about all my regular meals I am ok buying breakfast tue and thur on my early days at work.  Work was unremarkable(you can see I building to something here.) I went out with my girlfriend and we ended up at dinner.  I ordered the sauteed chicken, with vegetables and there was a boiled potatoe.  I had half a margarita and NO CHIPS, not one.  I picked up one during dinner to help push some food onto my fork, but I put it down thinking why have even the one.  I used my finger.  Usually I would have demolished the bowl of chips in its entirety.


Usually with this same girlfriend she eat a little bit of something and then offers me whats left and I graze off her plate(blah @human garbage can).  I didn't touch any of her stuff.  I was mildly curious, and it helped that she had ordered paella and I can't eat shrimp, but i resisted trying it out to see if I could eat some of it.

my ex was late coming in last night and didn't bother to call or pick up the phone. I HATE lateness.  When he finally got in at 2am I couldn't sleep and got up after tossing and turning for an hour.  I kept thinking I feel like i'm hungry.  So I got up and read 3fc for about an hour.  I just kept refreshing the list of new posts and read.  At the end of the hour I decided while my stomach was empty  I wasn't actually hungry.  When to bed at 4am.  I didn't workout and I had some cheese and 2 sausages with my egg white omlette, and it is comfort food.  but it comfort food for a meal I am hungry for and it isn't the ice cream and sweets or hi cal stuff I would normally have eaten.

I'm going to walk to and from the bus today so that should give me a bit of excercise.  I might do it during lunch..we'll see.

Wacky Scale, My Krptonite

Well I haven't posted in a while. Seems like I learn something new everyday. I went to my parents this weekend and just ate. I don't think I overate as much as I normally would have, but I ate more than I should have. I also had a few days where I went over my 2000 calories, but since I need 3000 to maintain my current weight I am still pretty ok. I kinda fell of the excercise wagon. I am trying to build up to Mon-Fri and weekendos off but just can't seem to get motivated to workout as soon as I get home. I have a part time job at night starting thursdays so we'll see what happens. I am guessing I am going to have to adjust to nights. So I weigh myself twice a month I know I have lost inches because the black jean that were once super tight even after I wore them a few times are now pretty lose. So thats night. But here is more proof the scale is wacky. Weighed myself last night 345. I didn't gain or lose. Weighed myself this morning after first bathroom t...

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...

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...
