The Intuituve Eater

So this week I tried to make better choices...no trying to plan the whole day just better choices. I was hungry one night going home and knew I would have about 2 hours before i got home and by the time I go home ...normally I would have picked up a crossaiant (400 calories) and i really am not a fruit person and never will be, but that is coming later. So I figured out ok I don't want fruit which would have been the asy choice but I didn't really want and I don't wanna waste of calories...So I picked out a chicken pest salad for 200 calories. I think I am going to make that for one of my meals this week. I ate out twice this week, and it wasn't the greatest. One NSV that did happen was, whenever i go out with my girlfriend from work she never finishes her food and she offeres it for me, nad even if i've been doing good, I feel like I fall off the wagon, but then eating her food too. Well this time I was kinda lusting for what she had (chef salad) but I said...

Only did the second cheerleader video can't find belly butt and thighs, so I might do that tonight. cardio overdrive 40 min, I thought it was really only 20 something. So I'm good for right now. Eating has been pretty good. I'll get on the scale saturday morning. Something I realized I'm never going to be as focused as when I first started this journey, which is probably ok since I couldn't maintain that forever...same food over and over again ...blah... Yesterday I had a busy day and wanted to go out and buy food even though I had brough lunch. I stayed in the office and ate my rice and carrots. Something else in NY they have the calories on everything, so the choclate crossiant that I had brainwashed myself into believe it was 200 Calories is more like 400+ with a class of milk that about 600 calories for breakfast. So i realized I could have an english muffin, milk and saugage (from home) and be just as fine....so even less eating out. I don't want to kno...

Haven't worked out in a week, but back it. Cooked this morning. I would like to go all of Feb with not eating out at all. I think my friends are going to be a lil disappointed. I cooked this morning and so we'll see how it goes. Total body toner 25 min drop it in 30 (the hard one) =23 min total 48 min. Oh yeah and I was saturday morning so there is my motivation.

I wanted to see how I felt if I plan my workouts. I know How I feel generall so the idea is to start with a hard workout and end up easier on Fridays which is the day I usually don't work out. Monday Old Cheerleader/jair love ripped to the core Wednesday Ab, Sun Ye, total body toner Friday walk and job/belly butt and thighs

Funny how life decides things. I haven't worked out in about a week, my guy was deployed to Iraq this week and I was up late most night talking to him on Skype. He left yesterday and I did a full workout today. I have a wedding to plan :) My eating has been pretty good except fro the last two days...when I went out twice. I didn't overeat, but I shouldn't have gone out. I will be out and about this weekend so we'll see how things go. 26 min total body toner (felt longer) 41 min cardio overdrive

Excercise drop it in 30 - 24 min belly butt and thighs - 25 min So my first full week of working out in a good long while...As usual didn't want to get up and work out so rather then force myself to do something I did. i went with an easier workout so I at least did something. Kinda cool I ended up doing more since I added in the belly butt and thighs I went out to eat twice yesterday indian...I shared a rice and a bread with the woman I went with and ordered lamb with spinach. I am sure it wasn't great, but I figured it was better to have lamb in a spinach sauce with actual spinach than meet in a sauce and no veggie at all... Went to the Famous Daves with a friend. Had a salad for appetizer, catfish nuggest and shoe string onion rings. Oh yeah big boo boo. I ordered a mudslide while I was waiting and he refilled it twice. Probably 1000 calories at least, but I am not betting myself up. It happened once. I won't do it again and Other than that I did ok. I was a lil ...

I don't think challenge are for me, they seem to be a last ditch effort to force me to do something...but really when I'm ready I am focused... So if history is correct I'm focused and I will be until about april or may... I will get bored so trying not to eat the same thing every day. I'm 337...which I totally didn't see...nice. I thought I was back into the 340 or even the 350..but I don't think my body will let me get that big again. I was thinking of trying Alli...but I think that about that another time. Eating has been good...no rice (except sushi) and only salad and meat when I've been eating out. I did fall into my usual trap of eating my girlfriend food, but I'll deal with that one day. Right now breakfast is fruit or salad when I get to work....I think I'll do turkey burgers tonight. Another weigh in on Dec 15th. As usual I'm a planner, my dude leave for IRAQ in a few days and comes back in Septem...at the very least I would like ...

Well december was a wrap from about my birthday till now...So no point in rehashing. I had a last applebees encounter yesterday...and the 21 days I'll deal with later I did get back into working out, not what I was doing but it is something. watp - walk strong. 30 min 600 min workout challenge for the month. Get on the scale jan 15th...blah

so I realized belatedly that I had actually managed to keep to the no junk food part of the challenge.. but anyway...I had beef and broccli and hot and sour soup.....no rice no fast food and I am posting today..... I am counting the broccli as my veggie I was going to order general tso chickem, but no veggies.... Also I think writing what I eat helping.... Anyway....I will be shopping today so this will be a challenge.

Ok so I don't think there is any point in trying to keep going...The weekend was a wash, but here is the review Saturday jamaican food, my father ordered a large, it was mostly rice, ate at grandmas...mostly rice....and collard green, yesterday plate of food and snacking on cake. Couldn't even be bothered to eat dinner...I don't feel like I ate alot yesterday, but I think it was my body deal ing with the overload.... Anyway got up this morning....didnt wanna work out but I did abs advantage -21 min cardio inferno - 27 min 4 segments of jari love - 20 68 min ...nice.... I feel like I did what I wanted and it was still a good workout... So Back on the 21 day challenge wagon today....today is day one. no rice 3 pause days. 1 piece of fruit 3 pause days 1 serving of vegetable or salad a day.... 3 pause days no mcdonalds, burger king, wendys, popeyes 3 pause days

So I had 7 salmon croquette, one sweet potato and i English muffin with butter. I'm ashamed to type the salmon croquette thing, but thats why i am doing this. Broccli and raman noodles. I got snowed in so didn't go shopping so no salad today. I am thinking this might have to be restarted since I'll have the same issue until I get to the supermarket which won't happen till Sunday or Monday. no rice.

Posted on 3fatchicks. I am ok with the excercise, but the eating i need some outside help. So I feel like i need some accountability in terms of my eating...so hoping to do this 21 day challenge. So here goes. No fast food which includes (popeyes, burger king, mcdonalds, wendy's and pizza) - 2 pause days no applebees - 3 pause days (hoping i won't use them) 1 salad & 1 piece of fruit everyday - i am so not getting enough veggies. 3 pause days writing down what I eat 3 pause days. no rice - 3 pause days Ok today is day one, End Jan 8th I think I'm going a lil easy on myself, but wanna make it doable. I guess I can always remove pause days the next time around. Also with my birtyday, Christmas, New Years and the bf coming home I know I won't be able to say no to everything.

Eating hasn't been horrible, but not great, too much applebess Didn't work out wednesday because I overslept, but made it up today... 26 min, short cuts to weight loss prevention fitness 2 10 min segments, I was sweating hard by the end of this. 25 min, total body toner...kind wish I had hung in there for the floor work. this was a nice break from jari love, which I think I needed the only motivation I had today was trying dvds I hadn't done before. Ok I am pretty sure I can get to 400 or more by the end of the week, so that will put me on track. Tomorrow is stretching, pilates and stuff.

Didn't work out this weekend, Ate like I couldn't stop myself, thinking for the eating I need to find a support group ...someone I can report too. 28 min - belly butt and thighs 27 min cardio inferno I upped my weight for a good chunk of it using 8lbs instead of 5 and 12 instead of 8lb, so by the time I got to the strengh portion I was worn out. So the min don't really reflect what I did. Also i think I need to make my work out a lil more varied, feel myself getting bored.

Eating has been whatever, schedule was screwed up this week, so only worked out friday belly, but and thighs, 28 min (no floor work on the last 2 segments) and cardio overdrive 41 min. So I am behind by about 100 min, which is one really long work out. SO we'll see. Just maintaining till the new year, between my birthday, christmas and my dude home for 10 days before he goes to iraq not going to pressure myself. 67 min total.

Eating was horrible all week, but I was conciously doing it. Didn't work out friday (but that just seem to be how i am nothing is going to happen on fridays) did cardio inferno. Cooking today and tomorrow. Did 27 min today, which mean I am only 5 min off my goal for the week (need 150 a week to hit my goal). So I am happy.

So I seem to have the excercise thing down.....goal for this month is 600 min and to get under 330. Eating hasn't been horrible, but not where I want it either. So to recap. Wednesday after thanksgiving I went to applebees potatoes skins a hurricane (drink) buffalo wings steak mashed potatoes broccli Thursday (thanksgiving) had salomon croquettes and a fiber bar, and didn't over eat at thanksgiving Friday just kept snacking, no one big portion of anything, but over eat with alot of little snacks Saturday egg white omlet and back to applebees chocolate mousse shooter steak and potatoes and broccli Sunday stayed home allday and don't think I did much damage MOnday subway and doritoes Tuesday went crazy english muffini with laughing cow cheese soup and chicken fingers choclate brownie (easily 1000 calories) 4 suagages (I was too lazy to cook) Haven't eaten yet today so the thing that stands out for me is I haven't eaten alot, but I haven't had good things to eat...

So I hit my fitness goal but I haven't been doing great with the eating. So this thread and anything with the labl confession is where I admit to the bad stuff. So Monday I had a kitkat from the vending machine.....argh... and i had 2 serving of dinner...not sure if I was hungry or not, but i didn't and I can't think I needed that second serving. Tuesday I ate 10 of the ball choclate things..I just couldn't stop, was BAD idea to buy them...oh yeah I had a muffin for breakfast and I had 2 servings of dinner again. I realized I wouldn't only blog when I did good stuff and never really admit to myself the bad so here we go....taking responsibility for my actions.

Same work out minus 5 min so I am at 22 hopefully that is about to take me over my goal... Ok so I am 503 (i'm at 77min for today, 503 for the month) so I hit my goal. no movement on the scale....yeah I'm a lil disappointed, but i know why...you'll see in the post above. Also its only been two days.....

Funny how I keep coming back to that numbers, so I have a week to be lower than that number.
