Living Intuitively.

So I haven't really posted in a while, I find I stop when I'm  not doing so well and keep going when I'm doing great.  Well I'm in a good place.  For the first time I've managed to lose weight during the summer.  I haven't pushed myself to work out, but I have been watching what I've been eating.  I am using intuitive eating /exercise.  I haven't worked out in a while because its been too hot, but with eating better I've managed to lose.  Finally my body was like we miss working out and I had to workup ALOT of stairs since an escalator on the way to work was broken.  So, today I did 15 min of cardio with weights.  I was sweating like a slave in the fields.  I'm a lil grumpy that in about a month I lost so much ...endurance..but its a process and I'll be back at it.

I'm currently PMSing which means my period is coming.  The cravings are over (blah at falling off for donuts), but i have about 7 days where I really won't be losing any weight. GRRRRR.  i'll be focused because its the end of the 28 day diet and I really wanna make sure I'm in the 320s when its all over.  I was 332 after a work out.  I only did 15 min so I don't think its that far off.


I also joined a 21 day challenge which is helping me focus on eating breakfast.  I'm finding I really need to eat breakfast to set the ton for the rest of my day.  If I don't eat it, I overeat and it never really gets right by the end of the day.  I'm still wishy washy on dinner, but we'll see. 

starting 7/28/201
-no potatoes, rice, or pasta - 3 pauses allowed.
-eat breakfast at home - 3 pauses
-no wholefoods buffet - 3 pauses
-no sweets - 3 pause days.


I'm going to check out the 90 days of exercise on on the 3fc 20 something group.  I am looking for a challenge that doesn't count minutes.  I think my exercise is the same as eating.  I don't wanna get caught up in numbers and then feel like I failed if I come in under my minutes for the month.  I get more caught up in the numbers than the actual exercise.

Well off to marinade some chicken and eat breakfast yay me :D

--added later

So just checking in.  Kinda working out what works or me with my schedule.  I work 12pm-8pm 3 days a week and 9-5 two day a week.  I'm up about 6am or 7am everyday so my meals are weird day to day.  learning I need to have breakfast or I feel like I'm always catching up because of hunger.  I bought an atkins shake for when I get to work at 12.  It means I don't have an extra meal .  It did a nice job of satisfying me.  I'm not much of a snacker so we'll see how this works.

The other side is when I eat at 4 and I don't get home till 10, so we'll see if the shack does the same thing later.

Breakfast was 2 boiled eggs with cheese and 2 sausages and water.  Did really well on filling me up and keeping me satisfied so I wasn't ravenous when I get to work at noon.  I had the shake, more to taste.  I was probably a 3 or 4 in terms of hunger.I'll take a lunch at 3:30 and I think I'll be ok till then

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...
