3 Weeks

Well I am 3 weeks into my new routine. I have lost 5.5 pounds and 15 inches total. Total of 10 pounds since I starting trying to loose weight. I am happy about the results. I haven't stuck 100% to what the book I was reading told me to do. I never follow anything 100% as I am suppose to. HUMMM I wonder where my kids get it??
I haven't been posting every day because I have really ran out of things to say. I know its a shocker.
Anyway-
I started out 3 weeks ago doing 30 minutes of cardio doing the circuit training. I am up to 45 minutes on the circuit training. It seems to kick my butt pretty good. I have been using the My Fitness Pal to help keep track of my calories. (APP on my phone) I think that has made the biggest difference. Its amazing when you are thinking about the calories and how many you have what things you go without eating. A lot of it is just not worth it. Like last night. KayDee came home from work with a steak salad from Costa Vita. One of my favorites. I had eaten all my calories and I knew I would regret it but I really wanted some. So I looked up the calories and to my surprise with the dressing it was 1338 with 79 grams of fat. I was totally not wanting it after that. I had my friend text me to go to get Frogert right before that. Though I really wanted to go, I just didn't want the calories added to my total for the day. I give myself a free day but I find myself not really going over the top with my eating. I feel crappy the next day when I do.
Allan told me that he was going to get me candy for Valentines day. I told he would die if he did. He just laughed. I had gotten him some candy because he has such a sweet tooth. We had dinner on Thursday and we both looked at each other and said "I need something sweet!" I looked at him and said "wanna break into your Valentines candy?" I ran to the closet and got out the candy. I read all the calories in them and had 2 pieces (1/2 the serving size) instead of what I normally would of done just ate until I couldn't eat anymore. I guess what I am saying is (A) Don't eat your husbands valentines candy before its Valentines. (B) If you think about what you eat and what is in it and if its worth the size of your butt.
What I learned this week, think about what I eat before I eat it. You can still eat crap you like to have you just have to watch your calories and not do it every day.

5 Days Later

I know its been 5 days since I have posted. Just nothing really interesting to post. I am excited to say that I have met a goal. I am in the low 190's! I think that the difference in my weight loss is that I am using the fitness pal. It helps me keep track of what I am eating and how many calories I am eating. I feel that when you are just eating and guessing what you ate you either go way over your calories or you go way under. For me it would be the under part.
I was watching the news one day and they did a study on a group of people. One group just cut their calories to 1200 but continued to eat what they wanted. One group ate high protein. The other group ate high carbs. But all ate 1200 calories. They all lost the same amount of weight. It got me thinking that I just need to eat 1200 calories and see what happens. I have been doing that for a week and seem to do the same and average about 2 pounds a week. I don't know why it just seems to stick to my body. I get so frustrated because all Allan does is think about loosing weight. I get so mad when he gets on the scale and looses weight. I work my ass off on the treadmill and are careful about what I eat and how much I eat. I give myself one day were I will go over my calories but only by 300. He eats under his calories and most times drinks his calories. It really pisses me off!! Freaking MEN!
Why is it that men have it so much better than we women do. We have the monthly treat. We gain 3-4 pounds in a night without doing anything different. We tend to hold onto fat longer than they do. HUMMM I think if it weren't for that ugly little guy between their legs I might want to be a man!
Well I wouldn't want to be a hairy man.
I was sick part of the week last week and I am hoping that I start feeling better. Its my tummy. I am sure its getting used to all this healthy food and less fatty food. I have to say I did have McDonalds yesterday. Its funny after not eating foods that are full of salt how salty things taste. My tongue actually really hurt from all the salt. I even had a tortilla chip and it was nasty to me. It was so salty that I didn't bother with the rest of my handful. I sometimes think that all I think about is what I eat and how much I work out. BLAH BLAH. I have become that person. I never thought I would be that person but you almost have to be or you loose track and before you know it you weigh 200 pounds plus. I have been watching those shows "My 600 pound life." It scares me that if you just let your self be consumed with something in your life that someone could become that big. It doesn't seem to be that these people are all over eaters or that they are lazy. It seems like there are deep emotional things that are hiding in that weight. It seems like they loose the weight but they are still unhappy. Its really sad actually. I feel bad for those people whether they are skinny or fat. I think that we never know what is behind someones face or what their story is. Its always best to think positive and just not worry about their business. I know that can be hard with some people. I know I have some people that in my life that I just don't understand why they are the way they are. I think no one will ever understand anyone. I have decided to just mind my own business and let them be who they are and forget about it. Well with that being said I am done with this post. Until next time!
