Everyday Systems

I was on the forum a bunch last year, but to be honest I fell and got ran over by the wagon this year!

I wish I could be depressed about the weight gain, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. Now I am just looking to get back into a healthier routine.

I wasn't sleeping or feeling well when my weight was under 130 which is crazy because I am only 5'2". I was also binging a bit. I found a ton of research about weight set points and I think 130 is mine because I maintained it for 6 months easily before I decided to REALLY enjoy some junk on a daily basis and quickly put on 4 pounds. I have gained all the way up to 134 so I am going to kick the 3 meals back in with occasional treats on the weekends to the 4 pounds back off.

Breakfast:

Grande Cappuccino and Turkey Breakfast sandwich from Starbucks

Lunch:

Carrots, Chicken Sausage, Cheese, Pear, Iced Coffee

Dinner:

Chicken Sausage sandwich, chips, pear, cheese, peanut butter

Well I am going to stick a mod in pretty early! I really wanted to get back to NO S so I could get rid of the sweets during the week and make sure to eat 3 solid healthy meals. I have been snacking throughout the day and not eating 1 whole meal!! I was having ice cream EVERYDAY! lol

So I counted yesterday as a SUCCESS because my mod is 3 meals and a snack. I will use this even on S Days - but the snack will be some kind of sweet.

I am on my feet through most of the day with my little boy who is autistic (his most domineering trait is staying super busy and climbing everything)
so I can't sleep without that extra snack before bed.

On to Day 2!

Weigh in: 133.6 - down a little water weight - 3.6 pounds to get back to maintenance

-----Well today didn't end well---FAIL---so much for dumb mods---going to go back to NO S Vanilla.

I don't binge anymore - so I am not beating myself up -- I really want to get hold of my diet most days so I eat more healthy than I have.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

I have been working on pulling it back to 3 meals. It is slowly but surely getting there.

133 this morning -- 3 pounds to go. Feeling good and sleeping good.

Breakfast -- same as everyday - cappuccino and a turkey bacon sandwich - I will have to add something to this because I am having a hard time making it to lunch

Lunch -- Yogurt, Fruit, Nuts, Muffin, sunflower butter, apple butter, omega 3

Dinner -- Chicken Sausage, Avocado, Carrots, kombucha

I have been an antibiotics and feeling pretty shitty.

Still at 133 - can't say I have stuck to the plan, but I am still trying!!

Today is an S Day thank goodness. I can only eat sweets with a messed up tum!!

I am still going to keep Vanilla -- the mods always hurt me.

I want to make exercise a pass or fail too. I just want 20 min. a day on N Days of weights/walking.

I had a cheescake brownie with breakfast and a big bowl of cinnamon crunch for a snack.. it's lunch time and I am tired and stuffed!! Too much sugar kinda stinks - was humming along after the brownie, but ate the cereal and crashed. Will keep it in mind for tomorrow for sure.

Breakfast: Cheescake brownie, Cappuccino, Turkey Bacon Sandwich

Snack: Gigantic bowl of cinnamon toast crunch, gigantic iced coffee

Lunch/Dinner: Curried chicken, sauteed veggies, new potatoes, pecans

P.S.- Well it is around 3pm and I honestly can say I am so stuffed I won't eat again today.

I had really crash at 2pm and I thought it was all the sugar --- no no I drank way more coffee than usual. I felt like crap!!

I jumped on the pull up bar and did a few sets and feel like brand new. It is amazing what exercise can do. I have been having hip pains and taking antibiotics so I missed out on workouts this week.

I am hoping for a smooth week next week. 3 meals a day.

Ok--finished rambling.

B: Protein Bar, Iced Coffee

L: 3 fried eggs, bacon, potato, coffee

I have to get back in the habit. No better day than a Tuesday, lol.

I am the absolute biggest I have been in 10 years. I had my son and weighed 144 at 5'2" and that s was almost 11 years ago. I got down to 120 and even 110 through starving and then lost my mind. I enjoyed eating food over the last couple of years too much and I was fine with 130 or even 135. Now I am back to 144 and I am not so happy at this weight.

I know logically this is the best plan, but I get SOOO hungry. I have a ton of personal stress with a disabled child and I use that as an excuse to eat whenever I feel like it.

Friday was Day 1 - I stayed on track, but I felt like I was going to eat my arm off!

I ate a good bit of cereal and ice cream yesterday on my S Day, but I am not in the mood for junk today so it will probably look like a N Day.

B: Coffee and Milk, Turkey Bacon Breakfast Sandwich.

I am just going to concentrate on doing whatever it takes to stay on track. So my meals may be really big at first. I haven't had the willpower to stick to it so that is all I care about - sticking to habit.
