Stay the Course




It's been a bumpy few days
Monday I was up to 361.8
Tuesday I was up to 363.0
Wednesday - 360.8

I ate on plan both days and Monday I worked out.  I was discouraged to say the least, but I just stuck to my eating plan. My knee is still a little wonky so I haven't do much, tonight I'll do some strength.

I got up this morning I was 360.8.  I was stunned to say the least. What have we learned boys and girls?  It takes 2-4 days for my body to deal with whatever crab I through at it.  Saturday was the rice dish my mother made and Sunday was a hamburger from burger king (and chicken fries and a hershey pie).  Funny how you don't remember all the bad when you're trying to understand why the scale went up.  Day 3 and I'm back on track.  Normally this would be a semi cheat day (orange juice, a bagel), but I reallllllllly want to be in the 350s and life isn't that horrible.

With all of this I realized if I was doing dietbet I would be stressing right now since i would still have something like 10 lbs to lose in less than a month...blah.

I will say I miss the support of dietbet and I'm looking for another forum.  3fc isn't very active.

So yesterday I ate lunch at about 1pm...by 6 pm I was really hungry and on the way home on the bus I was starting to get a hunger headache.  Luckily I had a protein bar in my bag and I ate about half.  So I did a quickie trip to the super market and picked up a few different types. I think I'm just going to try theme and see. I was worried about the sugar in the think thin bar, but since I lost a little over 2 lbs it didn't make a difference.



Other than that life is pretty good.

Can't stop Won't stop

So I'm about 2 lbs away from my monthly goal.  I haven't worked out in about a week, but I have been on plan for 3 days after the visit to my parents. I've realized the most important part of losing weight is staying focused.  If you fall off the wagon get up. If you are tilted to the side, get straight, but keep going.  The worse thing you can do is stop trying.  Over all I only lost 2 lbs, but I recovered from the bad weekend and my period came so all the days I stayed on plan meant I didn't have this huge gain. Stupidly proud of myself. Something else weird happened this week. I usually drink ice coffee, but its pricey, so I bought starbucks pre-made ice coffee.  I ended up having this weird sugar headache.  I ate food, thinking I wasn't eating enough.  After 2 hours I had a pack of oreos and it went away after about 40 min. The next day I had no coffee and no issues.  It makes me think there is something with the starbucks coffee...

Wacky Scale, My Krptonite

Well I haven't posted in a while. Seems like I learn something new everyday. I went to my parents this weekend and just ate. I don't think I overate as much as I normally would have, but I ate more than I should have. I also had a few days where I went over my 2000 calories, but since I need 3000 to maintain my current weight I am still pretty ok. I kinda fell of the excercise wagon. I am trying to build up to Mon-Fri and weekendos off but just can't seem to get motivated to workout as soon as I get home. I have a part time job at night starting thursdays so we'll see what happens. I am guessing I am going to have to adjust to nights. So I weigh myself twice a month I know I have lost inches because the black jean that were once super tight even after I wore them a few times are now pretty lose. So thats night. But here is more proof the scale is wacky. Weighed myself last night 345. I didn't gain or lose. Weighed myself this morning after first bathroom t...

Well I got back on track with the walking. 7 miles in 2 days is alot compared to where i started from and would be nice to knock out 10 miles by sunday (the end of my work out week). Well on 3fc I have noticed how bad High Frucose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is. So I had some lamb to cook and wanted some flavor. So instead of the marinade (which has HFCS) I bought I put some olive oil, rosemary and thyme in a pan and heated that then added the lamb. A little salt and pepper on both sides. It was probably the best lamb I have ever cooked. I think I am going to give the un-used stuff to my family and finish up the rest. Or we'll see. Something else that happened yesterday. I take the bus from NY to NJ to go home and there is a long escalator to get to the bus top. Easily 20-30 feet.....and the escalator wasn't working. I walked up without stoping. I didn't feel like I was going to die and at the top I didn't stop I kept moving to get to where I had to go. So I realized...
