NSV: Not eating out of emotion/I need a snack/

Down 2.5 lbs. I didn't do anything more than I have been, but it's less stressful and maybe I'm less prone to feel like I want a cheat meal or I want something off my plan. No workout today. I ended up baking some chicken  before it went bad.  I think I'll freeze it for next week.






So I had a bit of a falling out with the guy I'm half in love with.  We're not a couple and never will be, but we are something...blah.  Anyway, I was all emotional since I thought he wasn't speaking to me and I started thinking about going out to eat and having my version of comfort food (sushi).  I didn't mostly because work was hectic and by the time I got out I just wanted to go home.  I will say there was a relazation that I'm only wanting to go out to eat to comfort myself with food.

I watched a season of the biggest loser while I was doing dietbet and one of the things they focus on was, how did you get this big?  What habits do you have that stop you from eating normally.  So I realized from that I eat when I'm bored, when Im happy and when I'm sad.  Food is my friend...not a good friend, the kind your mother tells you is a bad influence and gives the evil eye to when you bring them over to hangout.

Anyway, by the time I got home last night I was hungry and didn't really having prepared to eat.  I did meal prep Sunday, but that was just work lunches.  Anyway I ended up with 10 nuggets from Wendy's and a bottle of water.  Its pretty much my go to when I need something quick and sort of low carb.  I've noticed that the grease is getting to me, so this isn't something I'll binge on, or buy regularly.

It would have been nice to have some kinda of quick low carb non salad snack.  I picked up some protein bars, but they aren't exactly low carb. I usually have toast in the morning, but after that I'm pretty much zero or very little carbs.  I don't count, but I don't eat  any one thing I eat has 22g of carbs in it.

The I happened across a blog review and read the comments.  Its funny comments under an article are sometimes way more helpful than the actual article.  After reading these I realized the protein shake I had tried had me bloated and I couldn't figure out why.  I thought it was me, but this might be my issue.  So I"m going to hold onto the bars, but look for something with better ingredients.




I've learned the hard way that while calories matter, my sugar intake is what really controls if I'm going to lose weight or not.  Annoyed that I spent $5.00 on these stupid things ARGH !!!

The good thing is I now have some rules to judge my snack by, no liquid sugars if possible.

Updates: I'm going to try the bars.  Today is a good day since I didnn't workout and my eating should be the same.  If I bloat or have some huge gain.  I know its the bars.  I also think I'll only eat half.

Wish me luck.

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...
