Staying on Track even when cheating.

Usually when I post there is a overall point or idea I'm trying to express. This is just a catchup post. Last week I only worked out once. Part of that was due to working late and just not being able to get it together and part was Friday waking up and being heavier than I thought I should be. In the end I realized I'm still in the mid 350s, and didn't sky rocket up tot he 360s. I didn't binge and totally screw my progress so I'm happy.

So I do want to list my cheats this weekend. I had a party weekend and I cheated, but it was pretty controlled. Friday I had a parfait from my usual salad spot. Thai chili wings from the restaurant at the hotel. Saturday Fish Tacos and Thai chili wings (yes, I really liked them, lol). Sunday Cheesy potatos and half a waffle for breakfast. I ate in addition to this stuff, but it was on plan.

I was starting to get into the mindset that I need to workout harder and longer and whenever I start doing that it work against me because then I start avoiding working out. Today I did Body fit by Amy 30 min Dumbbell Workout . It was 30 min and I did it with 8lb rather than 5lb weights which I had been doing.

I also planned to work out 5 days this weekend decided not to. 4 days is enough with Wednesday being a pause day. Killing myself to the point I don't want to do anything isn't helpful at all. Consistency is really the key for me.

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...
