Notice how the first three letters of "diet" spell DIE?

Every week I watch Biggest Loser. I see the amazing amount of double digit pound loss by people, I get kinda sad. Two weeks on that show and i would hit my lifetime goal.

But then, as we were talking last night, i realized...If I could go to a ranch with a personal trainer, not have any stress but the stress of doing challenges and working out...having no job and all the time in the world...OF COURSE I could also lose the weight quickly.

Unfortunately, I live in the real world and there is always a detour or stress or work or just life happens and rains shit upon me and trying to stick to the diet sometimes feels like another forty hour job on top of the stress I already might be feeling. But then after weeks of dissappointment, you get that one week, where everything works out and you see that your efforts aren't in vain. It gives you the motivation that hey, maybe I can do this, even if it is not going as quickly as I would like.

Now if I could just have another one of those weeks! lol

New Fiber one cereal

Decided to try the new "frosted squares" cereal....yeah... even with the " frosting" still tastes like dog food. Bad snack choice. Beware. Just stick with the kelloggs of you go with that type of cereal.

Officially back

Well,

I will admit, i have not felt the blogging at all last week. I ended up witha 3 pound gain from vacation, which was expected...can't eat chessecake factory twice in a week and not expect a gain.lol

In weigh in today tho, I have manged to lose 2 of those pounds, so I guess I can look at it as being a pound heavier (gaining) or I lost 2 pounds....I'm going with the lost 2 pounds.

Supposed to be warmer this week, can't tell it by today, but tours are starting up in a week so i'll be getting my nightly mile in, on top[ of the 2.2 I walk to and from work and the walking around DC I have to do. We also discovered that planet fitness is out here, but the closest is in Falls Church...i wouldn't even drive to a gym less than a mile from my apartment, so that's out. I just want the warm temps back.

Anyways,

Good luck with weigh ins. You guys are doing awesome!

I'm back

And I overslept so i couldnt weigh in naked at home. I snuck into the locker room in H building to weigh myself...however I was wearing a coat and shoes and heavy clothes so it showed me gaining about 5 pounds. I will try a small weigh in tomorrow just to see the aftermath of our trip.

I'll post another blog once i get caught up on everything.

Killing the last hour

Obsessed with dieting?If you vowed to give up cheese in 2009, chances are, you've been fantasizing about Brie on a daily basis. And research shows that's totally normal. A University of Toronto study found that when women were deprived of chocolate for a week, they experienced more intense, chronic chocolate cravings and scarfed about double the amount of the sweet stuff when it was finally allowed. Instead of boycotting bacon (or whatever verboten vice you have),reduce your portions. Determine how many calories your cravings account for, then cut that number in half. Your goal is to be satisfied with 150 calories of your favorite treat per day.

Quick Tip

I don't remember where I read it, but somewhere someone suggested using fat free yogurt in place of sour cream. I have done it on tacos and you don't really notice a lot of difference.

FYI, cuz I know sour cream is dear to us!

Quick Post

I lost around a half pound. Any loss is good loss. I'm sitting at 175.4 so getting out and actually walking around did do a little bit.

I do not have any substantial goal this week, other than to try to maintain since it's vacation.

Good luck this week you guys! Stay motivated!

On track! Surprising

Well, I set a goal for myself on Jan 3 on wii for 5 pounds in 2 weeks. Didn't go so well. Stepped on last night and finally got to set a new goal. So that makes me on track for my 5 pounds every month til April.

On wii, I started at 183, the scale said 181...so that makes me 178 on wii and 176 in real life. So I'm officially at my lowest weight in 4 years!

My February goal is to actually do the impossible and lose weight on vacation...I highly doubt it could happen but I have hope I can whip my ass into shape and do it. We shall see February 18th....

The weekend is gonna be here this afternoon. I wish you guys luck on a successful weekend and very happy results on Monday!

I'm ashamed but...

I hopped the bus today. It was too cold to walk. 20 is ok. -2 is not with wind. Oh well...just have to stick to the diet super good today.

Hope you guys survived hump day. The weekend is almost here.

Happy Hump Day

So far so good. I have not been lazy at all this week. I've let Aaron continue to sleep instead of driving me to the metro station. I haven't hopped the bus. So i've gotten 7 miles in to and from metro since Monday. Plus I've been taking a walk around the job sites and Tuesday, lawrence and I did our summer walk around DC since it was 50 degrees.

Been pretty good on the diet. Really trying to get the veggies and fruits in. trying to get at least half the daily water intake in. It's supposed to be 50 this weekend, so I'm gonna try to do my walk to and from Old Town or at least hop the bike I bought and have ridden a total of 3 times since September. We shall see. Really pushing for at least a couple pounds Monday since my diet next week will be completely blown or not, gonna try to eat somewhat healthy but it's the first real vacation since Sarah's Birthday Trapt Concert 2 years ago so can't promise much (i'm not counting the trips to Michigan for weddings, cuz that is NOT a vacation or fun and holidays in Ohio don't count cuz that's with family)..lol...Maybe walking up and down the strip will help....haha!

PS. Dude, you are always welcome to take my place standing in a wedding! I will not fight you! ;)
