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 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...

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...

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...
