The Intuituve Eater

Cardio overdrive 20 total body toner 20 wii ea sport day 2 - 224 calories/21 min So the wii is keeping motivatied....bascailly the excercise are short enough that I by the time I'm tired or annoyed its over. i think the only thing I won't be doing is the inline skating...I also kinda wish there was a setting for bad knees...or in the profile you could request low impact...but I just modify as I go..the inline skating was just a waste...I might see if I can modify it again....Oh yeah and the running never seem to synch with me...maybe because of the size of the thigh..which are pretty big...so I run at my pace...which brings up another point...I would be nice if I could turn off the trainer and just watch the picture or have the words on the screen....I know I am running slow, but the fact I am running at all should be ok lol... Anyway, even with all of my bellaching...it was TOTALLY word the money.

so I bought ea sports active..used it for one day and got ill from bad fish so this is day 2....LOL. I had to reset my goals....so 500 calories in 7 days and 7 hours of excersize and something else I can't remember...i wish there was a way to have the wii upload my info so I can track it online... 29 min of excercise and 300 calories burned. hoping to get in more tomorrow.

So this will be quick...I was sick so I lost 7 lbs...and coming off that I stuck to good eating and have continued to lose...so life it good drop it it in 30 and weight portion of total body toner.

I keep bouncing around in the 330...I think the lowest I got was 332. SO...I bought a wii and ea active which is a "game" to help you work out and make it interesting. I did it yesterday and liked it. So that should up my excercise time. I looked at how much I'm doing and need to up it. So we'll see... The game has a 30 day challenge so as of right now I am 339..it only goes up to 300 so blah...um...I'm at 339 because all the eating and liquor I've had over the last 5 or so days...so some of that should come off fairly quickly. My family came to visit, I had a friend over and I went to my cousin graduation party...blah...so yeah no eating out for a week except for my usual friday. Added later.... So I did about 30 min of my dvds and wasn't really feeling ot so I jumped on the wii and did another 26 min....and burned 25o calories...so I'll keep track of that.... So that puts be back in the one hour range. I'm not sure of I'll do anymore toda...

So I have been watching what I eat and not working out. The eating part is kinda easy now...The working out I realized after 3 years with the same DVDS I wasn't quite as motivated so I tried one I originally didn't like total body toner and did one of my favorites cardio infernoe and look it there...I enjoyed it...so I think we're back and I am going to pics up a few more....woo hoo.

Funny usually I don't post when I am doing badly, but I have been doing pretty ok. The bet with my girlfriend has been working. I am pretty conscience about what I eat and having been doing much better. I have 10 days, so I should be ok, no makor holidays or anything. This week I am eating out alot, but the key to that seems to be swapping out side dishes for salad or veggies even if it costs more and not getts really saucy stuff. I have had popyes and stuff, but rather than mash potatoes and red beans ans rice and a buscuit and 5 chicken stripes and a drink. I get 2-3 little wraps and a possible drink. I know it is n't good, but it breaks up the monotony of salad and I practice about portion control. Anyway, I seem to be doing ok.

And honestly it wasn't a big deal to get out of bed.....either way, Weigh in is tomorrow...hoping I am under 338...and that I didn't accidentally gain 10 lbs ...blah. Cardio inferno - minus last weight segment.- 21 min Jari love combo vid - squats/lunges, straight leg deadlift with lat row, step up with over head press.(????) 15 min 36 min total. I think I did more than that, but just happy I did something, LOL.

Cardio parts of maximum cardio and half workout - 24 abs advance 8 min jari love, squat/lunges,bent leg deadlift, stiff leg deadlift, overhead press = 20 min 52 min So I am going along. Eating has been on point. I realize looking back the problem wasn't my cooking, but what I was eating. The chipotle stuff was all carbs...no veggies, no fruit. the cheesecake brownie every couple day. yeah I wasn't going to lose anything with that. I think everyone has diet that works for them, for me it is going to lean towards low carb and that definitely wasn't the way I was eating. Anyway, Doing ok.....the bet is keeping me motivated.

Cardio Overdrive 30 min and back to 338. Which I have been back and forth to about 3 times, so we'll see how it goes this week.

Ok, so I have been working out, but not keeping track not sure why, but my eating has been horrible...complete comfort eating. So a friend of mine $50 I would be 329 by May 1. So'll get on the scale April one and work my ass of. I think I've become desensitized to my motivation, or discouraged. will all the ups and downs the scale isn't the motivation it once was. So we'll see how this works so warm up and strength big cut to weight loss jari love, squat/lunge,bent leg deadlift and bicep curl, strangleg deadlife, overhead press. I'll calculate the min later.

So I worked out, probably not the super workout I planned, but it is what it is. So I used the restoom and ended up at 335. So gained weight....3-4 lbs but not the 8-9 I thought it was.....so STOP USING THE SCALE AT NIGHT. Also I realized while I probably didn't think I ate badly I didn't eat anything at home...i think all my meals were eaten out, subway, baja, popeeyes, applebess..yeah I can see it now...So ONE Meal on friday and thats it. I did bootcamp firm...i didn't do the third weight section. oh yeah and I hate kickboxing...

So I gained, but not as much as I thought...so I'm ok today...

So I was feeling good, I've been working out. I wore a skirt I haven't been able to fit in a while so I said hey lets see what the scale says....339, I cried...I just wanted to give up..I still just want to say the hell with it... I could guess at what happened, and it is only 7 lbs....I can lose that in a week. I am so...unhappy right now...the yo-yoing... No eating out till I hit 329. PERIOD. no applebess no popeyes...no idea what I am going to do when I go home to visit my parents.. Weigh in everySaturday now. I can't even express my level of disappointment right now. Its 11pm at night. So the only possible good thing is I KNOW it will be lower in the morning..... I was so FUCKING close...BLAH.....

I didn't work out wed or friday of last week so I did something this weekend and worked out today..soo Saturday Cardio inferno, didn't do second weight section - 15 min. Butt and thighs 15 min Sunday Chris shortcuts -26 min MOnday Chris cellulite - 41 min Jari love - 10 Eating was ok, most of the week then as usual friday and saturday I ate out. I don't think I over ate and I didn't so that b adly. Weighin is Saturday. Something interesting. I was going to do my min from Feb 23 to Mar 23 so the Feb min wouldn't be wasted and I guess in case I feel off the wagon again, but I calculated just from March 1 and I have 145 already...which isn't usual at all. I guess doing a little everyday works rather than tryin to kill myself 3 times a week.

So since I stayed on plan last week I didn't work out this weekend AND i had popeyes on friday....Eating wasn't great....little things like I went to baja fresh and instead of the 2 taco AND a salad burrito I just had 2 tacos. So no idea if I gained or not, but I'm feeling ok. Today Cardio inferno - didn't do the second weight sections -21 belly butt and thighs- did half the abs....and not other floor work 17 min

So I glanced at my old posts and realized I've been yo-yo ing for the last 2 years...So Would like to hopefully this is a one way ride out of the 300s....

So its friday and as usual this is the day I REALLLY don't want to work out...so I said ok I won't do the really hard work out I planned...I'll do a WATP and belly butt and thighs...The sweat was pouring off of me. LOL So watp 2 mile - 20 min belly butt and thigs, no belly, and no floor work - 15 min I am going to TRY to do something easy tomorrow morning...We'll see. not getting on the scale today...still basking in the 332. So lets talk about food...yesterday I forot to pack my lunch so I had 1 english muffin glass of milk salmon salad lots of salad dressing (blah) sushi so not great but not bad either.

So I wasn't supposed to get on the scale until suday, but I jumped on anyway...332...have to say I wanted to cry...Feels nice when all the eating right and excercising pays off. Before I got on the scale my motivation was being able to go to an amusement part and get on a roller coaster. while I was in orlando. So Happy. can't wait to see the 320s You don't have to excercise for 2 hours to lose weight. I did cardio infernio...all the cardio..only one weight section Jari love slim and lean squats and biceps. I will add back next week. I haven't been builind up to my 90 min I used to do and I think those days are gone. I feel like I challenged myself and I got in a good workout which I think it more important that excercising for hours. We'll see.

I was doing so well and then I didn't work out at all next week ..well except for Monday. I didn't cook so I ate out alot and that was a mess...So Saturday I got up and cooked for the weekend and i worked out this this morning. So I did Cardio inferno - minus the second weight segment. 15min Jari love slim and lean - squat, biceps. 10 min I'll add more as time goes on, just want to stay consistent

Normally when I don't post for a while its because I havent been working out or I have been doing badly... but actually I have worked out 4-5 days this month. The rule is basically i do waht I want to do...not forcing myself to do anything to hit my goal for min every month. I think I will go back to it, but I was getting to the point where if I wasn't going to work out for 80 min I wouldn't get up and counting the min was killing me.... So I have been working out, food has been good, I think my only weakness is weekend eating out, but I'll deal with that...so today I am going to cook and life is good oh yeah 338 as of 2-11-09 I would LIKE to get out of the 330 by the end of the month..we'll see
