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

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...

335 Woo HOO

Posted on 3fc Well all week I have been praying for a 2lb (would put me at 339) loss which would put me in to the 330s. Weigh-in isn't until wed, but i got on the scale anyway....335...woo hoo. Make me much closer to the size I wanna be to buy summer clothes much more attainable. Well I can say it here. Next weigh in is March 14th. I would really like to be at 329 by then. My Official weigh-in isn't until Wednesday so I'll be playing the game with the scale until Wednesday morning. Also I am waiting for the time I get on the scale and nothing happens......blah...but trying to stay positive. Something else people would day the weight is falling off, but I worked this crap off. LOL

Ignoring people at work/ catching up on excercise

Well not that I look back since i last blogged I haven't been doing well, but not horrible either. I didn't work out Sun-Tues. and I have been out twice so i have one more time to go out this month and I know I am going to blow that so we'll see. I think the problem is I went away for the weekend and I wasn't carting food with me and I can't say I made good choices while I was away so I'll have to deal with that. Now that I am back home though I am doing better. I cooked last night really good curry chicken and broccoli. I ate the whole pot but I think I am only at most at 2000 for the day. I had a smartone and a danish and only water. I weight myself in eight days and really hoping I am under 325. Blah. I did Prevention 3-2-1 work out today for 35 min. I didn't do any of the ab stuff since getting up and down on the floor is a pain. I have a pain in my left knee but it seems to be better. I am 15 min from 200 min for the week which would put me back...
