The Intuituve Eater

So I just did watp 2 mi and I felt it, so my sole goal is to be consistent in food and excercise. So my next day to workout is monday. We are going to aim for as little rice, potator and bread as possible. Just be consistent till September then I'll deal with the numbers

chris freytag walk ourself fit.-19 min So I haven't worked out since Saturday and it was a holiday weekend so I ate alot. I'm ok with it. I did something today even though I didn't want to. not getting on the scale until the 1st, hoping to be under 330. I know dieting requires 2 things eating and excercise, so I seem to be in a groove with the exercise the challenge for june is to get my eating together.

So I have managed to stick to working out. Ihaven't hit my goal, but I have been consistent. For some reason I don't like to workout on Fridays the firm: ultimate fat burning-31 min more later

excercise prevention fight cellulite-41 min get ripped to the core 35 min 76 min will post most later

I worked out today same work out as saturday. I was going to do some of the firm, but I didn't want to do the weights in that and then weights with jari so I did drop it in 30, but it didn't feel like a good aerobic workout, so on wednesday I am going to do the firm work out without the weight part. I was thinking it is better to do it...even if I modified it than avoid it all together and not do anything at all. My kneed hurt less during the straight leg deadlift and lateral row part which is good.

So I looked at my excercise ticker and realized I probably will only hit 400-500 min and I am ok with that considering by this point in most months I would have given up entirely and eventually I will get to 800 min.

5/16/2008-no exercise 5/17/2008 watp:walk job 30 min jari love get ripped to the core 35 min abs advantage 6 min (12 min, but i stopped alot) total 71 min So I didn't work out yesterday and I ate food I wasn't supposed and i didn't eat intuitively, but taking a day off seemed to motivate me much more today. So there you go The title of the blog refers to the feeling when I was going to ab work. I realized I haven't worked my abs directly since sometime last year...so everytime I did a crunch I would feel a tightness then radiating as my abs unclenched....very interesting. One thing it was quick so I think I can do that and a power walk on tue and thur we'll see. Also finally got through an entire get ripped dvd. ripped to the core is my favorite because of the compound excercise. I was going to by a new weight dvd, but I will stick to this one though the end of the month.

Didn't feel like coming up with a interesting title so there you go. I think I did a power mile on Saturday but can't remember so doesn't count fooey. So I went to my parents house, where for some reason I eat like I don't have any sense. So on Monday night i was 325 (boo hiss) and by Tuesday morning I was 322. So back on track or so you would think. Then yesterday I went out to eat with a girlfriend of mine whose plate i always eat off of....so who knows where I am I am supposed to weigh myself tomorrow, but I am going to wait till Saturday morning. If I see 320 again I will a grumpy pants and I think I can get the extra weight off by then. SO hoping to see 319 again. I did the easy part of drop it in in 30 (24min) I never do the cool down. and about 20 min of get ripped to the core. I feel like I building to more. I feel like I need to stretch so I am going to try power yoga. Oh yeah by now I should have 300 min, so not sure if I will me my goal for the month...

So I had a bad day at work yesterday and I ended up staying late and we get a free meal when we do that (yeah you can see where I am going with this). I was hungry but all I had in my bag was 2 grapefruits and a 100 cal snack which didn't interest me at all. So I was thinking about ordering, but ended up get a bag of chips out of the vending machine (150 cal) I was ok and then I got home and ate dinner. So when I got home from my bad day I decided to get on the scale to see where I am at. I figured if I wasn't down no point in spoiling a good day when I had a perfectly good bad one today. So I got down and I was 320 (5/8/2008). So since May 2 (7 days) I've lost 5 lbs and which I can't say I was a strict in my dieting it is working. I think it is more due to the addition of weight in some way with every work out. Next weigh in is May 15th so wish me luck. So on to the averages part. I weighed myself last night and I was 320 I got up this morning and peed and passe...

This will be a quickie. I just realized I need 115 min to stay on targe for my excercise goal. Not 15. So we'll see how it goes. I realized I am not going to excercise Tue and Thur which are my early days to go into work. I'm ok with that, but mean I need to work on the weekend. I am buying a new weight workout today so I'll let you know how that goes tomorrow. Maybe I can just do abs on thoses days we'll see. Off to work P.S. I put on a skirt from a while ago and it was snug, but not too tight. its a 26/28 whichs mean to me I have a ways to go to get into a 22/24

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...

So I worked out this morning which is really what motivated me to blog today. I did 25 min watp: walk strong. One of my favorites. So the other thing that should be mentioned is the candy dish at work. A couple of weeks ago I bought candy for it and included a bag of kisses with peanut butter in them. I barely noticed them althought my girlfriend at work said they were addictive, so I am on the weight loss wagon and she bought another bad and I easily went through 20 of them yesterday. So no candy dish for a while. I had a foot long turkey and ham subway sandwich and when I got home i was hungry so I had 2 oodles of noodles. Probably not th enest choice, but it did the job, I didn't have to cook and I ddin't end up at applebess eating 1000 calories. So works for me.... Nothing else to report

Well I have haven't blogged in a while because from Nov-Feb I just fell over the wagon. I was so far off the wagon I could even see the wagon. March I spent relearning and working my way back into a routine of excercise. April I was sort kinda back no the wagon and now it is May and I am hopeing to stay consistent with for one whole month. I was down to 314 in march but I am up to 325 and I notice anything over 320 and my joints start to ache. The other thing that happened was I was talking to a woman I know and she said she load 64 lbs and she was in a size 22/24. If I had stayed on plan I would be way below that....Also I want to be able to ride a rollarcoaster before the amusement park (Six Flags) closes for the year. I think alot of the problem I had staying focused Nov-Feb was relationship issues. MY finally ending it completely with my ex, dating someone new and eating alot, and my girlfriend having issues with her boyfriend and wanting to hang out and hanging out alwa...

So I was looking for distraction from the vending machine monster and I found a 100 calorie snack ( i need to start carrying those again) and realized I was 312 lbs back in April. :-(, but I think the good thing is I am back at 312 and will soon be lower. I also learned spring and summer are bad times for me and I need to learn to modify my exercise plan during the summer. I think I felt like if I didn't feel like working out I couldn't do anything. I should have done maybe 30 min or something...We'll see I also noticed I am slightly scale obsessed, but like I posted before the scale has been who I judge myself and right now I WANT to be under 300lbs. So between the 100 cal snack and reading 3fc and the blog I am ok. Now home to a bowl full of mixed vegetables ( lol and I am actually looking forward to it)

I don't see myself getting into this anytime soon (maybe by December) but it is inspiration to stay on track. from macy's .com Necessary Objects Plus Sizes Ballerina Babydoll Dress London Times Woman Empire-Waist Dress With Bow $89.00 Sashay into any room with confidence in this chic empire-waist dress.

So Part of my IE is staying under 2000 calories. usually I do this without thinking about it..I think it is a hold over from my dieting days and it works, so I keep it around. So anyway. It occured to me, that there are people in countries who are so called "less advanced" than the US and they are thinner and healthier than us and they have no idea what a calorie is, how many carbs they are eating or any of other many measurements we have around. I was also thinking that there was a time in this country when people had no idea what a calories was and there didn't seem to be an obesity epidemic until we got all educated....

Sometimes I need to be reminded that the all mighty scale should not be the end all and be all of everything. I have been trying to get to under 300 for a while, and when I focused I was slowling heading down from 318 316 314 312.....then i got on one day after visiting my parents and I was 320....I said f*ck it said I am taking a break and i am not getting on the scale for a while...Well I had my period at the time....So a week later yesterday in fact. I got on and I was 312...no nothing magical happened, but i stuck to my IE, exercised (although i skipped 2 days) and I had dropped what I am guessing is water weight. So I am back on track and happy I didn't beat myself up and binge or anything

Note: I started a 21 day challenge to help me get in the right mind set and stop me from blindly eating stuff and really think about what I put in my mouth. So No Donuts, no pause days. (i just can't be trusted) No eating out for lunch at work 3 pause days. No vending machine at work no pause days. Under 2000 Calories 2 pause days. So I am Day 3 of everything and I am pretty sure I am going to have to use a pause day for under 2000 calories since I am at 1740 and still need to eat dinner, but we'll see So I was on my way to the vending machine, had stuck the money in and was about to select my usual treat when I thought hey....something isn't right. I remembered i had joined the challenge and I was going to have to post here that I didn't do so well early on. So I pushed the change button and walked away. I still want something, but I think it is just a a habit and I am not going to give in. I am off to suck down some water. Even after I walked away the vending machin...

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.

Well this is my first post in 2 months. As of 6/15 I am down to 312 lbs, which is with in spitting distance of getting out of the teens. I think I am a 26 (tight 24). Which means, shopping has gotten a whole lot more interesting. This is one of the dresses I am looking at. It is at macy's and it is a 24. My ex's mother is getting married and I am using that as incentive to keep going. For the last 10 years I think. I have been only been able to shop at 3 stores and in the last 5 i had to buy my jeans at roamans.com. It isn't that the scale ISN'T motivating. Its just that after a while I am desensitized to it and isn't enough motivation to get me out of bed. So today I looked at this dress know that I would order it about august 15 and hoping I am a solid 24 (tight) 22 by then. I did kind of cheat and order my swimsuits in 24, but thats because they are stretch and I have noticed anything I have in a 26 is loose. So, I should be ok Me and the ex are ok.
