Attack of the Sugar Monster/Summer Heat

That is an exact recreation of me...or my inner me. I'm not sure what happened. Its too early for PMS, but I have been on my on sugar binge for the last couple of days. I am usually not much of a sweet person, but it has been an issue.

Sunday I have 4 of the tiny hagen daz ice cream. It amounts to about a scoop of ice cream when you add them all together. Today I had another sugar craving and had two pack of cookies. Add on to that I didn't work out. My house was hot and I turn into a big ole slug when its hot.

I also didn't cook...

I am currently not wining.

I'm down overall for the month so I haven't done much damage, but I need to focus.

I joined the June exercise challenge on 3FC and I have one last pilates session to do. I also didn't workout over the weekend..

I"m not winning SMH

So I'll knock that out tomorrow morning

Fingers crossed the craving goes away and I'll be sleep with the A/C on tonight.

On the upside my clothes are fitting better to me even with the slug heat laziness I have more energy.

This weekend if the fourth of July weekend, so it will be interested how things go...I'll be visiting family and right now I don't really have a plan. I usually gain 5 or so pounds when I visit. Blah so we'll see. The one thing keeping my motivated is I have the potention to be out of the 350s by the end of July....

Lets see if that will help keep the sugar monster at bay

later.....

So, I left work on time, and as soon as I hit the door I started cooking.

Currently finishing up spaghetti squash with ground turkey and pesto.

I also made coffee.. its the most expensive part of breakfast so trying to bring my own.

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...
