but I am still here, still on core and I am trying to convince myself that I am still rockin" even thought the scale is being stubborn! I KNOW all the stupid reasons it doesn't move the way we love every week consecutively! I know that I probably worked out too much (gasp!!) this week. I know that 2 lbs per week is not really what I am going to consistently lose........I know, I know, I know!
Since I posted my 3.6 loss I had a 1.6 the next week and I will be lucky if I see any loss at all this week (this according to pre-weigh-in scale peeks). It is truly a WTF maintain, as KBB calls them. I have done the exact same thing all 3 of those weeks. Sigh.
As I am slowly cutting out the processed shit with Core, my new horror is High Fructose Corn Syrup!! OMG! I looked up some articles about this stuff and it is alarming. I can't believe what we eat! I eat almost no hydrogenated fats anymore. HFCS willl be my new ban. SLowly but surely. That stuff is bad news!
Taking a needed DOR today. My physical therapist reminds me that when excersicing a lot, that the recovery days are actually as important as the tear down days. I forgot that and got a little crazy this week.
So I am off to run some errands on my scooter on this beautiful day!
I am back I the zone. I have been in and out of this place many times in my life. I think at this point I have still spent a bit more time in it…. But I have been dangerously pushing that.. I have been thinking the last few days of all the reasons it is better to be IN it!!
Sure it takes a lot of time. I am working out between 6 and 10 hours a week. That’s a full work day! When faced with the choice of working out and fitting one other thing into my day, sometimes I am begrudging the time commitment lately. But that is the ONLY thing that is showing up my “con” column. Man-oh-man are there more reasons I am digging this. In my “pro” column: I sleep better, I can eat more food, my energy level is more even throughout the day, I can eat more food, my clothes are fitting better, I am starting to have some cute little cuts that I have not seen in a long time, I feel stronger and I love that……Oh! And did I mention I can eat more food?!?!
I am excited to be an “active” person again. This working out stuff is here to stay this time.
I have a hard enough time logging on the WW site everyday and journalling every last stinkin' BLT. In fact I totally blew it off the last half of last week. WHich sucks because I was supposed to be back with a vengeance after my week in England. So I don't post in a week and KBB threatens to come stalk me!
I have been inspired by Brat to use snappy formatting, but she must pay for her blogging priveleges. I seem limited in the font depatment.
I never got out of my robe today. I have been feeling poorly for a couple of days. Headache and kind of wooozy/dizzy. Thoiught it was from no coffe on Sunday but no....now I am truly buggy.
So, I am back on Core--100%. Logging any bite that isn't Core. I think it is going to kick me up another notch. I am tired of fighting all these silly headgames I play with myself. I think I am OP and losing and before I know it, 2 weeks have gone by with no loss (at best) and I am kicking myself. Time to get honest! Time to get real! Time to get solidly back into the 130's and then move down from there. I really DO want this to be the last time. I have this theory that if I get a handle on these last 10-15 pounds and keep them off between now and the end of menopause that I won't have to struggle with this anymore. Nice thought huh?
England was realy cool! The weather was mild, we had a blast in London. Saw Spamalot in the West End!!
I did NOT gain weight while I was travelling! Yahoo!!!! I am so relieved.
England has a bad rap for bad food, in my experience. We had great food. The only thing is that everything is so blasted expensive! Especially in LOndon.
I have tons of catching up to do. My house is gross. I have bookkeeping and cprappy work crap like that to do. I will try to catch up on blogs in the next few days. I have been reading some, but I really cant let myself get too sucked in till I click some stuff off my list.
I think I have to amend my goal date. I had set March 13 to reach 125 pounds. That gave me the week I am in England to not lose, but I cant gain either. That also means I have to lose a solid 2 pounds every other week.
Now that I am back into this (its been a long time) I remember that they arent all 2 pound weeks!! Especially with upping my workouts as much as I am. I am having times when the body fat percentage on my scale is moving but the weight isnt. I dont think I want to back off to 1 pound a week, maybe a buffer zone of time of a couple of weeks.....
I was really feeling bummed this week about the scale not moving (I am a peeker). Weigh in is Monday morning and I have a party tonight. But that being said, I am feeling great! I can tell that my fitness is really increasing, my clothes are fitting better, I look better in my workout clothes... This is working even when the scale isn't zipping along its merry way down to 125 at the rate that I think it should.
I am off to my groovy AA meeting on the beach then a YAS class (yoga and spinning). Then I will figure out something OP to take to this party tonight and have a long chat with myself to prepare me to not graze, not nibble, not cheat, not HAVE to taste everything everybody brings!!!! I can do it.
Well, this is a first for me. In sppite of lot's of thinking about it, I have not ever blogged before. I figure this is an opprtunity to kill several birds with one stone. I have always had the best intentions of journalling and the most inconsistent results. I really miss my gal-pals and want better contact with them. I am ALL about being OP right now so this will help me stay focused on it.
I am fully into the three week blahs! The loss has slowed down, I am tired of having what I eat take up this much head space and I want to gripe about the excersice, too......but! Oh! I am actually liking that part.
Well, I have to figure out how to add friends on this thing.
