Goals - Don't go lower

Been an interesting week or so.



So I started my workout schedule last week and I did something to my right knee. When I would bend it, it hurt. Walking as a struggle, so rather than push through and potentially make it worse I just stayed off of it as much as possible.  I started back today..it was a struggle, but I got it done and I feel good.  I hopped on the scale after my workout and I'm 361...so I'm probablty 362 or 363.  I'll take that.  Eating wasn't horrible last week, just trying to focus on one meal at a time and make better choices.

The knee thing I'm pretty happened when Autumn was like go lower and  I was feeling  focused.  I went lower and blah.  This just says its ok to go at my own pace.  I lost a whole week pushing too far. 

Its still hot and humid so I didn't cook.  So this week is going to be salads (which I've been avoiding) and atkins shakes for dinner.

I have a 21 day challenge going and that's helping me stay away from the little cheats that keep stalling my process.


Goals
Stick to 21 day challenge rules - No cheesecake, no ahi tuna crisps, no hamburgers, no sushi, no alcohol no donuts,candy, muffins, and fried foods

salad for lunch mon-fri

salad or atkins shake for dinner.

current workout schedule

Its not the best eating plan, but I'd like to stay on plan for 5 days.  Friday night I'm going out for my sister's birthday.

So I'm in a good place....fingers crossed on doing well this week.

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...

Up 3 lbs.

Well I just couldn't what to weigh myself and I am up 3 lbs. Normally I would be devastated, but Everything 3fc has taught says 1. I should probably weight myself in the morning. 2. It is not the end of the world. I also have to admit i overate yesterday, and I had a big meal Saturday . So the plans is to stick to what I am supposed to do and weigh again Saturday morning. The guy I am seeing will be up Saturday morning, and it is Super bowl weekend, so eating is not going to be the greatest this weekend. Everything else is ok. Added Later I just realized I got cocky. I assumed since I had had all this great weight loss I could eat whatever. I have not been eating intuitively. So I am glad I did the weighin and will try and do better.
