I can see the finish line




Diet bet is over tomorrow.  As of this morning I was 361.8, I needed to be at 362.5 to win.  Nervous, but happy I finally got to win one.  With that being said, I won't be doing a dietbet next month. I feel like I have an unhealthy obsession with the scale and I was starting to try and starve myself to my goal weight (359).



I was talking with a co-worker who said he didn't get on the scale just stayed focused for a month.  I was jealous.  I get up every morning and weigh myself 2-3 times to see how low I can get. I think dietbet was great at jump starting my journey again and keeping me focused, but I need to just leave it alone for a bit.

For February my goal is 8 lbs, if did dietbet it would be 14, which would be awesome, but not sure how doable it is, or how scale obsessed I would become.

The other issue is, I might be in a plateau from losing so quickly.  16-17 lbs in a month is a lot, even at my size. I've been sitting around 361 for a few days.  It also might not be a plateau I might just be getting on the scale so often the little changes are hard to see.

Yesterday I said eff it and had a mini cheat day (orange juice, apple juice and jelly on my toast).  Wednesday is usually when I burn out on eating eggs.  I was a little scared I would gain, but I need to be able to eat sustainably  (made that word up) and suffering eggs everyday forever ain't the way.   To balance the cheat I decided I was going to workout.  I couldn't get out of bed early enough so I promised myself I would do it at night.

I have never managed to work out at night at home. EVER .

Ever.

I workout out home and I owe it all to fitness glo (FG).  I think the reason I was able to get up the motivation to do it was, it was at my fitness level.  I did a workout (totaly body tonig, level 2) .  At first I thought it wasn't hard enough, but I felt lit later on and the next day.  I was able to do 90% of the moves.  I still need to modify plans, mountain climbers, and pushups)

I queued up the tabata and by the half way mark I was saying very mean things to the instructor, but then the time rushed by and it was over.  I was pretty happy I had done it.  I actually have another workout for tonight.  I don't have the dread I did with other instructors (beach body, the firm, daily burn).  I also love that the instructors look like real people who are fit.  Level 2 is level 2 not level 1 with weights or level 3 and just slower.  I was hating tabata, but I will probably do that one again....maybe.

My exercise schedule so far.

I can actually see myself working out 5-6 days a week.

1lb

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...

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.

Ignoring people at work/ catching up on excercise

Well not that I look back since i last blogged I haven't been doing well, but not horrible either. I didn't work out Sun-Tues. and I have been out twice so i have one more time to go out this month and I know I am going to blow that so we'll see. I think the problem is I went away for the weekend and I wasn't carting food with me and I can't say I made good choices while I was away so I'll have to deal with that. Now that I am back home though I am doing better. I cooked last night really good curry chicken and broccoli. I ate the whole pot but I think I am only at most at 2000 for the day. I had a smartone and a danish and only water. I weight myself in eight days and really hoping I am under 325. Blah. I did Prevention 3-2-1 work out today for 35 min. I didn't do any of the ab stuff since getting up and down on the floor is a pain. I have a pain in my left knee but it seems to be better. I am 15 min from 200 min for the week which would put me back...
