Yeah, so I've gotten way off track.  Now, I'm stealing a few moments from work time that I don't even really have to get back on this site.  I haven't weighed myself for a little while, but I know it's more than 180 which was my last post.  I'll try to update that in a few days once I remember to jump on that scale at home. 

 

I'm going on a night hike tonight.  That should be nice, and counteract the fact that I tried to go for a bike ride this morning and ended up hurting myself within the first 30 feet of the ride.  Now I have a huge bruise developing on the back of my calf. 

 

I'd like to remember also to make a list of my weightloss pillars that I developed years ago when I was rocking the weightloss thing.  I think they're pretty freaking great.

 

Anyway, I'm going to get back to work, but I just felt the need to write for a bit.  I will try to remember to weigh myself and to post my weightloss pillars soon.

My stress from work got the best of me for several weeks, and I'm only now coming out of the tailspin.  I think the worst that happened was that I gained the 5 lbs back... which is disappointing.  However, it could've been worse... a lot worse.  So, now it's all about getting my schedule set up so that I can get my workout in and fix my food for the day.  If I can get that going and do it for a few weeks then I've got a good solid habit. 

Anyway, I'm finding it especially difficult to not obsess about food lately.  My desk-mate at work likes to hand out chocolates all day long, and as of yet I haven't turned any down.  That should be a priority for me... to explain to him that I'm not going to be eating chocolates because I'm being good.

No matter what happens in my life, and how much progress I may make, I know that during times of stress it will always be hard for me to resist binging.  Today, I was able to resist a lot of my temptations, but that doesn't necessarily mean that I did well.  I still had a 2150 calorie day, with 100 grams of fat.  Ew.  I know enough to not beat myself up over it, but it still sucks that I probably won't continue to lose weight for the next day or so while my body recovers from it. 

One lesson I've learned a million times, and I learned it again today, is to not let myself go hungry.  Once I get really hungry, the chances that I'm going to do somthing that I'm going to regret grow exponentially. 

I just can't wait for my life to calm down a bit more, so I can put a lot of focus back on the nutrition.  But, until then, I must rest assured that at least I'm a hell of a lot better off than I used to be.  Improvement, god damn it! 

Oh, it should be noted that after I wrote this, I realized that I had started my period.  So, that would explain both my overeating, and my psychological state.  Oh what fun being a girl. 

yay.

Roommate and I got super excited shopping in the health food section of our fry's foods yesterday.  We bought way more than we went in to get.  Still eating meat, but only the stuff that we had bought before the decision came down.  I'm very excited to get the real thing going. 

Also, we started a spinning class at the gym which kicked my ass in a really spectacular way.

I heard about this study that said that when people didn't get enough sleep, they ate more throughout the day and they ate ate worse foods than normal because they we're craving the instant energy from things like simple carbohydrates and sugars.

I haven't slept enough lately, and I want a Twix.

There's something new at work... Watermelon, Cantaloupe, and Shrimp Ceviche.  Good GOD that shit is spectacular.  If only it weren't served with chips... I'll have to think of something else to get it with other than chips.
