Is it a Battle or a War

It took about a day to lose the weight from the weekend, add on my tilt off the wagon( more on that later).
I think weekends will always be a weird time, the goal tho is to stay mostly on plan unless it is a planned cheat meal.

Anyway, so I have a slight cold, my period is coming and I had a sugar craving.  I waited till after lunch realized part of it was just being hungry. I bought two pack of 6 oreos.  The craving lessened after I ate lunch, but it didn't go away.  I probably could have just not ate them, but I don't want it to grow into a binge. So I ate them

With all of that i'm down almost 2 lbs this morning, which is my total for the weekend. I did work out yesterday and I stayed on plan except for the oreos.  Dealing with my eating and how I deal with food is the war.  This was a small skirmish and I don't take as a loss.  I made a concious decision after hours and comtemplation to eat the cookies.  I don't have any desire for anything else and I'm ok



I kinda felt meh, a cold is coming, but not exactly here yet, so I worked out (21 day fix upper and lower fix). I actually felt a little better.

I'm coming up on 14 days on plan and working out, so I'm planning a cheat meal.  It will be sushi friday.  So now I have a light at the end of the tunnel so I just don't binge



Working out has been interesting.  I feel like my workout ADD is kicking in, but no buying new videos. I have been browsing youtube for difference.  My beachbody videos really are enough tho.  Weird I have no desire to go back to my Firm DVDs.  Realizing I like circuit training and don't miss the danceyness.

Live and learn.

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...
