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...

335 Woo HOO

Posted on 3fc Well all week I have been praying for a 2lb (would put me at 339) loss which would put me in to the 330s. Weigh-in isn't until wed, but i got on the scale anyway....335...woo hoo. Make me much closer to the size I wanna be to buy summer clothes much more attainable. Well I can say it here. Next weigh in is March 14th. I would really like to be at 329 by then. My Official weigh-in isn't until Wednesday so I'll be playing the game with the scale until Wednesday morning. Also I am waiting for the time I get on the scale and nothing happens......blah...but trying to stay positive. Something else people would day the weight is falling off, but I worked this crap off. LOL

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...
