Sustainability

So I binged over the weekend.  I started out as ok I get to have some of the stuff I missed while doing diet bet, but eh it was really a binge

3 donuts
3 sushi rolls
1 pint of ice cream (actually wasn't that bad but couldn't resist)
potatoes while I was out and an onion bloom

By sunday it wasn't so much a binge as just eating crap.  I gave myself a day before I got on the scale and I'm up 5 lbs. I also ate an entire thing of smoked salmon because I was hungry and didn't have anything prepped for dinner.  That was monday.

So yeah no smoked salmon in the house...blah. Its low carb, but too much salt.

I did food prep for the week, and no lingering need to eat crap. 

Anyway, I also don't think I'll be doing dietbet.  14 lbs in a month while doable, isn't sustainable for me.  I pretty much was doing anything to make goal and then kind of burnt out at the end.  It was a good jump start and I might do it again, but right now my goal is 8 lbs for the month. I think its alot more doable without making me crazy. I got on the scale and didnt feel like OMG  I gained 5 lbs. I knew I had cheated/binged and worked out.  There isn't this big pressure to lose it immediately like with dietbet.

I did join 2 challenges on 3fc, to help keep me accountable. 1 for exercise which I've been doing and one where I set my own goal weight for the month.  I'm not sure if its because there is no money involved, but I feel challenged without being overwhelmed.

Hoping the cheat weight will be gone this 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...

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...

Darn you to Heck Indian Food.

So yesterday I had lunch with my best friend.  She's smaller than me, but still heavy.  We went out to an Indian Buffet and I should have just ordered something from the menu, but I didn't want to spend to much since we were splitting the bill and had the buffet BAD MOVE.  It was all creamy sauce stuff which really begs to be poured over rice.  I was trying to pour it over the cauliflower dish, but that had potatoes in it.  I ended up just saying eff it and eating the cauliflower with a little potatoe.  Then my flawles logic *heavy sarcasm* said well if I'mma cheat go ahead and have the rice too.  I then had like 4 glasses of water.  I don't feel like I ate alot, the problem is I ate because of self peer pressure. I think of course wanted to punish myself and was going to make myself to a really hard workout today, but thought.  Ok I don't really want to do it...and I don't want to NOT workout because I don't want to do the work out.  ...
