Logging

I doing better on logging my food. I am getting better on portion control.

Went out to dinner last night and had the grilled chicken with no bun


It's all about the little victories!

Success

Busy last few days. Went to the Big E with J. Walked most of the day and I have the blisters to prove it!
I didn't eat too bad. J and I split most of the food.

Actually went to gym both Sunday and Monday. Today no gym but am relaxing with the dog and working on Christmas knitting projects.

I need to start running again. But right now the mini goal is just to get to the gym. I have been doing pretty good the last 2 weeks. I call that a success. So now I want to start adding running back in. I think that will be Thursday's goal at the gym.

I have been fairly consistent using myfitnesspal for better or worse. Everyone has to start somewhere and I have been doing pretty good.

Sick and Twisted

There must be something wrong with me. I love how I feel after I start working out after being gone for a bit. I like the soreness. Feeling my abs move (yes there are muscles underneath all that fat!). Makes me want to go back tonight after work.

Taking tomorrow off and J and I are going to The Big E. http://thebige.ntelligentsystems.com/m/

I am really excited, I've never been although I have lives in CT most oft life. I plan to eat too much and walk a lot. Plan on wearing my running sneakers since there will be lots of walking.

Success and choosing my battles

I hit the gym twice this week. I call it a success. It's been more than a month since I have gone. But I went shopping on Saturday and got a pair of jeans that are a size smaller than what  I had been wearing. That is amazing motivation.

Today is my company's employee picnic. We get a 2 hour lunch and they provide food.The thing is, I know its burgers, dogs, nothing healthy and everything high calorie/high fat. So I brought  my lunch. My coworker is making me go hula hoop for awhile so I now I will burn some calories there. But the lunch just isn't worth the calories. (our cafteria is catering, they used to be awesome but the last year or so all the food quality has gone down while prices have gone up.) I am not that motivated to eat free medicore food. It realy is about choosing your battles. Do I want to indulge on food that is so-so or indulge when I am with J or hanging out with friends on the weekend.


Update: I had the hot dog and hamburger. I was hungry when I got there. Should have eaten up here. But I did hula hoop for 25 min waiting for a friend

Off to the picnic
