Who knew 5lbs could feel so heavy.

So I haven't worked out since wednesday and its because friday I got on the scale and it went down. Also just because it was friday.  Since it was friday, I didn't pack a lunch, ate at the whole foods buffet, went out to dinner, ate too much and generally did everything possible to screw up my one pound loss.  Rather than learn from that I then spent saturday not eat anything good for me and eating when I was distinctly not hungry.

BLAH !!!

I managed to stop myself and today (Sunday) I got up worked out (80min) and sweated my butt off.  I had a nice healthy vegetable omelette.  I'm full and I won't be eating anything else till I'm hungry again.

When I went to work out I think I was trying to punish myself so I did a workout, I usually hate, but today seemed not so horrible.  I think its because I'm in better shape when I first started.  I actually for down and did the floor portion for the first time and since i can't do a pushup I did a 30 sec plank which had me shaking the last 10 sec (something to work up to). Walking cardio shape up   41min.

Then I did kendall hogans's crunch video and I only used 5lbs weights the whole time but I felt it.  I did both the upper body and the lower.


I loved it, lol...I also seemed to have gotten rid of that weird extra fold in my arm  I had when I held my arm over my head and I think my top stomach (lol) is getting smaller.


While i'm happy I'm back I think switching my weigh in day to Saturday will prevent me from overdoing it celebrating the end of the week. So next weigh in in saturday.

Oh yeah not sure if I posted it 349 on 10/22/2010

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...
