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.

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...

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...
One of my new year's resolutions was to post more in my blogs, particularly my intuitive eater blog. So I bought a scale yesterday because I couldn't find one that was easily accesible when I wanted to know my weight. It is a Tanita Scale . It is the best scale I've ever used. easy, no wacky changing depending on when you get on and off and the alignment of the moon and stars. So in 3 months I've only lost 2 lbs. I really am not as upset as I probably would have been because I lost it eating supposedly bad foods and not being miserable. I bought the scale to keep me a little more focused and honest. More later
