Stop Drop and Change

So I haven't posted in a while on purpose.

So my slow carb diet wasn't working for me.  The problem was I couldn't seem to handle the 6 days on plan and only one day on plan. I could get the 6 days, cheat day was literally the whole weekend and then I could maybe go 5 days before I would have another fall off the wagon.  Also the scale was killing me.  I was sabotaging myself then trying to work off the cheat weight and then annoyed when the scale wasn't moving. Also the end of summer hangouts caused problems...

I also kept hurting myself.  I was wearing shoes that did something to m feet where walking hurt.  I was fine barefoot, but shoes hurt.


So I just stopped...everything.



I haven't been on the scale in a couple of weeks.  If I want to cheat I think about it and make a decision.  Weirdly I'm not that pressed about it. There was a sugar binge, but I started my period the next day so I'm gonna chalk that up to hormones.

Then I got sick, which sucked, and got my period..blah


The weather has finally broken. My knees and feet are better.  Eating has been pretty good. I eat out a bt, but trying to pick healther options. Just discovered naked tenders at Buffalo Wild Wings, my afterwork unwind spot.

I changed my work out routine again.  Instead of pushing myself I changed it to one workout a day 3 days a week.  Thats probably less than recommended, but I need to actually do the workouts and I wasn't avoiding them before and I think i was always exhausted.  I used the beachbody hybrid workout generator so I should get get bored. 

My next weigh in will be Oct 1.

I feel good

Oh and activelly avoiding alcohol and desserts

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...
