The Intuituve Eater

So I only worked ounce this week. So that was disappointing. Between warcraft and work just didn't been getting enough sleep and not wanting to get up and do it. So I was avoinding the scale...well I am 332. WOO HOO. So the thing that DID happen was I was pretty consistent on eating. I haven't talked about it in a while but I have been focusing on eating intutively...It doesn't happen all the time, but I try and keep to it. Also i have no idea how many calories I've had, but most of the food I've made myself. When I wanted ice cream rather than buying a pint of ben and jerrys i bought klondike bars. I didn't buy the low cal 100 cal. There were 220 a pop, but even if I ate for which I came close to at one point it didn't add up to the whole ben and jerrys. Also as a rull I tried to have veggies with all my meals. So I went out to dinner yesterday and I did over eat, but I asked them to not give me rice and beans. I had rice and salad with my backe...

So I didn't work out this weekend and I didn't make my 250 goal, but I didn't buy any patterns either.so I stuck to and I was PISSED...so I got up and did the hardest Chris freytah dvd Prevention: Walk Yourself Fit -48 min I am going to try and do abs tonight and weights tomorow... I WILL GET MY PATTERNS...evil cackle here....

So now have so many months i am finally back to being motivated, so I get on the scale and in only lost 1 lbs 335 (i was 336 on wednesday i think...will look back and prev entries). Anyway, So I was all disappointed and had almost talked myself out of working out. But I remember when I first started...all I wanted was to be lower than I was at 1lb, so i got that...The goal here is to stay focuesed and make better choices. So I only did walk and job which was ok, but I am going to do a major workout tomorrow morning... The other thing is , I need to work on my food. I am definitely better about not eating stuff I shouldn't. I was late for work and almost talked myself into a few things, but I ended up having ice coffee and a choclate donute...which wasn't the best choice (but the lesser of the evils) so this week I will go back to caring stuff in my bag that I can eat just in case and caring fruit. Either way. I FEEL better and I did lose the 1 lbs...woo hoo....I am going o...

Worked out this morning. I need to admit to myself i am never going to work out at night or extremely early in the morning. eating has been ok. So we'lll see where I am friday. slim and lean and the the firm maximum calorie burn Ok so I just ordered 4 new dvds, part of my problem is I think I have been doing the same ones for 3 years, so I'm a lil bored. So If I hit 500 min this month I can buy the 2 yoga ones I want. Added Later: So I was thinking what kind of incentive can I use to get me to work out because losing weight helps but I wanted something none cale related. So since I am into this who sewing thing...I get a pattern for each week I hit my excercise goal. So right now I should be at least at 250 min, which I am not (133) so If I hit my goal this week I get 2 patterns. and a pattern each week I make my goal. Only one patter. I think I might throw in book credit too. We'll see so I need 117 more min this week.

So I have been working out, but i had a bad eating day tuesday. I am pretty sure I gained, but it seems to have come off. Last night I so wanted a pint of ben and jerrys instead I had on of the mini ones for only 220 cals instead of the 1000. So that was good, hoping to be under 330 by Oct 15th. We'll see how the weekend goes. 25 min the firm.

2 miles walk half of slim and lean heart palpitations

Well I couldn't resist got on the scale 330. I did it 3 times thinking the scale was being wacky, but it only changed .2 lbs so I am going to take it. So that at least 5 lbs in a week. NICE.... I am not going to calculate, but happy I should be in the 320s next week. Which would make 299 totally reachable by Dec 31 2008. I don't think my body wanted to be that heavy since I remember trying to get out of the 340s and it was a like a whole month. We'll see

So I changed my computer wall paper from the nice relaxing blue to a big white back ground with number 340 in big black letters on it. I have to say it motivates me...I am on the computer enough that I see it frequently and when I get lazy I sort of chant 299 (my goal weight) So today I did watp: walk strong and belly butt and thigh so I can do the monthly minutes thing again. I am going to spend a few days at a friends house, so try and work out while I am away. We'll see how it goes. oh yeah I checked the scale last night and I was 336, so I should be 334 or so today...so at least I know I am on the right track. I really want to be 299 by the end of this year. I kinda feel like I should have been there, but oh well.

Well I got on the scale last night and i was 340.....never thought I would see that number again. I was 328 aboutt 2 weeks ago, so I am not going to make all the usual promises, but I think we may finally see a change. 2 mile walk today.

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...
