Today is weigh-in day but I didn't. I wanted to skip it because I knew it wouldn't be good and I would just beat myself up. Last week was such a disaster after the wonderful week before.
I woke up sick Saturday morning so everything was off all weekend. I didn't eat breakfast this morning because I didn't think I could stomach it. The Halloween fairy left three mini candy bars on my desk so I demolished them with my lame yogurt lunch. Nothing sounds good to eat right now. :-(

Days 46, 47, & 48
Friday:
Didn't eat breakfast. Had tuna for lunch and scratch made pizza for supper. Didn't record anything.
Saturday:
Woke up feeling sick and wasn't sure if should go for a walk so I didn't. Had yogurt, a turkey sandwich, orange sherbert, and pinto beans with melted mozzarella. Came close to exceeding all maximums but thankfully did not.
Sunday:
I didn't leave my couch except to randomly nibble. Which involved alot of cheese and a lot of crackers. Didn't record anything but I'm sure I definitely went over on fat.
No exercise all week except for last Monday.

Day 45 - Disheartened
Breakfast started out good. But then it was a co-worker's birthday. I ate two pizzas of pizza. And I was okay with that because I could have stayed within my calorie goals even with dinner. As I left though, my co-worker told me to take the last two pieces of pizza but I hesitated but then took it anyway. Which led to me stuffing my face with it in the car on the way home. I got home and opened a beer, drank it, then another. After that was three glasses of wine. Then I just started eating everything in sight. Crappy week, fight with the boyfriend when I called him on my break, work was crap today, it was a recipe for disaster.
I ALWAYS told myself I wasn't an emotional eater, but I am. The sooner I deal with that the better. I always thought I just ate a lot because I loved food. I never applied the term binge eating to myself either. I'm both. This is how someone gets overweight and miserable, take notes. I am so disappointed in myself.

.33 cup oats

Day 44
I was very surprised that I didn't get enough fat today. That never happens to me. I was a little too heavy on the carbs in relation to my fats. I'll made up for it tomorrow.

Day 43
As I've stated about a hundred times, I typically don't go the grocery store meat route for various reasons. However, this week, I decided to indulge in a little poultry protein. I bought some preservative laced turkey breast and chicken breast lunch meat. I'm looking forward to it. After this package, I'll be okay without it for awhile.
My mom was in town so of course we had to hit Chinese. My town has THE best Chinese buffet ever and my feller doesn't do Chinese so about 3 or 4 times a year, Mom and I go. I've been fortunate to have it twice this month, wow. And I refuse to be guilty over it because it is a treat. Yes, I like to treat myself with food. So long as I don't go overboard (more than once a week) I'm just going to accept it. Is this a rationalization? Probably. But anyway, now my belly is super stuffed.

Day 40, 41, and 42
Saturday:
A little over on calories and fat. Blame it on 3 beers and beer nibbles. Not horrible, though. I lamented on Twitter Saturday morning about how I was dying to go walking but it was too foggy. Here is evidence, before and after, and that last picture is just a hill that kicks my butt. A quarter of a mile gradually going uphill:
1,834 cal, 63 fat, 174 carb, 79 protein, 13 fiber
1:15 minute walk. 3.2 miles. 650 cal burned.
Sunday:
Didn't record food nor did I exercise. Instead I vegged out on the couch playing gamecube, did a little light housecleaning, baked some whole wheat buns, and ate countless pieces of pizza. :-/
Today, Monday:
Finally, a great weigh-in today. Lost 3 lbs. It's great to know when I struggle that there is reward eventually. It's getting harder for me to burn calories, though.

Day 39
Despite feeling a little low over my goals the other day I can honestly say this has been a great week for me. My eating has been on point and so has my exercise. I've been very focused.

Day 38 - Goals
My foot is still acting funky. It doesn't HURT, it just hurts. It's more of an annoyance than a pain but I'm just going to work through it. I wrapped it after I did my workout, I hope that helps.
Some people are goal people. They set a goal and are bound and determined to smoosh the thing. I'm a classic underachiever. Back in September I set a goal to lose 20 lbs. by November 17. And in classic Alyse form I've pissed around and said, "Eh, you've got plenty of time, you'll make it." Well, I don't. I basically have no margin of error since I haven't taken my goal seriously. I now have 28 days to lose 16 lbs. (cheated and weighed myself this morning) which is 4 lbs. a week. Not happening. Now, I'm pretty close to achieving my 15 miles in 45 minutes goal on my stationary bike, but that one is a fun goal. This losing weight goal is harder. Coupled with job and money stress, I'm struggling. It's just time to hitch up my britches and do the damn thing.
I normally drink one cup of black coffee in the morning and that is it. At work after lunch I wanted something else so I had coffee with creamer that had 50 ingredients and it was a nice treat.

Day 36 - New Pants
I went on my lunch break at work to Walmart and got two new pairs of pants to walk in. I felt like a jackass walking in jeans with capri workout pants on underneath. So spent $28 on two pairs of pants that are GREAT. My butt looks awesome, haha. Minor triumph.
It annoys me when I can't get an accurate calorie count on something. Case in point: venison summer sausage. It was made at a local butcher shop so there was no nutrition info. I used what someone else had plugged in on Spark People, but I think it was a little too heavy on the fat, but I'll never know.

Day 36 - Beautiful Fall Day
Once again a weekend of not recording food. It's not that I ate inherently badly, I just ate. A lot. The thing is, on weekends I like to sit and watch TV which I don't really get to do during the week. Well, sitting on the couch in a lethargic state means overeating. I need to come up with something to do on the weekends but I'm such a homebody. Getting out and walking is fun but that involves driving somewhere that is worth walking. Yeah lazy.
One pound gain this week. Last week was just weird. Between doctor appointments, work stress, not having been to the grocery store, and barely any exercise, it was a recipe for disaster. At least it was just one pound, I'm reminding myself it can be worse. I haven't made any headway on a more structured eating/exercising plan. I think I need to write one out and post it here and on the door at my house so I can't forget it.
After work I went out to walk a trail at the lake. I walked a section I've never walked before. It was deeper in the woods and quite lovely. I love it how when you walk deep into the woods the air changes, very refreshing. I only walked 1.93 miles but I walked up hills to get my heart rate up and sped up walking to keep it in the 80%'s most of the time. According to my heart rate monitor I burned 940 calories. I always round down though, so I'm going to say I burned 900. Needless to say I was starving after this. So I stopped at Arby's (!) and got a turkey, bacon and ranch sandwich. Which is surprising because I don't do the meat thing. But my stomach was about to eat itself so I'm not going to kick myself in the ass for it. It also surprisingly balanced out my percentages for the day and got them pretty darn close to goal. Who would've thought?
I didn't eat breakfast this morning because I had no appetite and my stomach was still full from mindless nibbling

One pound gain this week. Last week was just weird. Between doctor appointments, work stress, not having been to the grocery store, and barely any exercise, it was a recipe for disaster. At least it was just one pound, I'm reminding myself it can be worse. I haven't made any headway on a more structured eating/exercising plan. I think I need to write one out and post it here and on the door at my house so I can't forget it.
After work I went out to walk a trail at the lake. I walked a section I've never walked before. It was deeper in the woods and quite lovely. I love it how when you walk deep into the woods the air changes, very refreshing. I only walked 1.93 miles but I walked up hills to get my heart rate up and sped up walking to keep it in the 80%'s most of the time. According to my heart rate monitor I burned 940 calories. I always round down though, so I'm going to say I burned 900. Needless to say I was starving after this. So I stopped at Arby's (!) and got a turkey, bacon and ranch sandwich. Which is surprising because I don't do the meat thing. But my stomach was about to eat itself so I'm not going to kick myself in the ass for it. It also surprisingly balanced out my percentages for the day and got them pretty darn close to goal. Who would've thought?
