8 months and 16 Lbs Later..

So I haven't posted in a long time..Mostly because I just didn't want to report yet another failure. Since my last post I've switched jobs, joined NYHRC and lost 16 lbs. I know its not a lot..but I'm definitely proud and I'm sticking to my own weight loss plan. Official Start date was June 16th.

I'll go into more detail later, but basically a mix of Low carb and paleo. I think a big things has been joining the gym. Its pricey and because of this I feel obligated to get as much use as possible out of it. They have a bunch of gym in manhattan and I take their classes. They kick my butt, but I stick it out. When I first started going I was intimated being the only big person I ever saw..but I feel better, I pay my dues and Eff it is people don't like it.

I also think I'm becoming the annoying person who loses weight..so I'm going to blog more so I stop annoying people.

Life is awesome.

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...

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal. I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused. If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going. The worse thing you can do is stop trying. Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee. I ended up having this weird sugar headache. I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough. After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues. It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...

2 month in/ Prepping for Vacation

2 months in and I'm only 4 lbs lost.... Sort of.....After my first week I gained 4 lbs because of cheating. I'm down 8-9 since then and I am pretty happy with my situation. Eating is pretty stable except for cheat day/s. Those are a work in progress. Working out...isn't a struggle, but I can't say I'm into it, but it's doable. They key seems to be doing workouts I like. I know that sounds silly. Alot of times I feel like we're supposed to force ourselves to do something for our health or weightloss. I've noticed I'll start talking myself out of a workout when it is something I really don't want to do. A good example is I'm not a fan of HIIT, or overly chatty instructors, or when the group is acting like its a dinner party rather than a workout. I also don't like anything over 45 min. That's my limit. It doesn't matter how awesome it, I'll get annoyed or tired and not be interested. I do cardio because I have...
