i just need to throw a little love out for cupcakes. i want some for my birthday treat. nothing beats a single-serving size of cake and frosting. except 2. ;)
also, i just found out that my brother proposed to his girlfriend. i love them both, but am in a little bit of shock. definitely did not expect this news today.

5k crazy.
Hm. It may be time to admit that I am an addict. A 5k/10k addict. Or a t-shirt addict. Either way, it's costing me a fair amount of money.
Let's talk about what I've registered for so far this season:
May 1st - Walk MS 5k walk/run (I get a travel mug)
May 2nd - Colorado Rockies Home Run for the Homeless 5k (I get a t-shirt and 2 free Rockies tickets)
May 8th - Columbine HS Run for Remembrance 5k (I get a t-shirt)
May 31st - BolderBOULDER 10k (I get a t-shirt)
And that's just the beginning! I've got Race for the Cure and Memory Walk in October, plus Fans on the Field 10k in September. Not to mention whatever else comes up. I've even looked up a 5k for while I'm in Madison on 6/6 (but have not registered - and probably won't).
I've got a problem.

make it a good day
mike the replacement trainer has me stressed out. he switched up the schedule, and really, he's just pissing me off. 24 Hour Fitness in general pisses me off with the way they treat their trainers, and how their trainers pass that service on down to their clients. i know i'm not your regular client, but seriously. open up a few more slots so that i can actually get in a workout that doesn't occur in the middle of the fucking day. bah. enough. reliving the anger does not help me get over it. it's over. i'll deal with the 3 weeks that marko is gone, and just go back to the ridiculous schedule i have with him. at least i know when i'll see him.
i need to make it a good day today. i need to find other outlets for my anger/frustration/emotion than food - which i thought i was doing, but apparently didn't, as i got home from the game and proceeded to eat my way through my house until well after midnight. i broke my "no food in bed" rule, ate while reading, and generally just ate like i'll never see food again. i'm disappointed in myself, but have the evidence that when i do this the right way, i can still lose a fair amount of weight.

GAH! more trainer drama
I hate drama. I really do. And frankly, having a trainer for the last 3 months has been more drama than it's fucking worth.
Milos took a new job out of necessity in February. He hates it. And I hate not working out with him. He assigned me to Marko, who I've grown accustomed to, even though I'm not a huge fan of his personality. His workouts are hard, though, and I do like that. His schedule is really inflexible, though, which is good for the planner in me (my appointments are always at the same time), but not great for the summer, when I know there will be other things that I want to do on weeknights (read: baseball games happen on Tuesday nights). But no matter the inflexibility, I've adjusted my life to make it work.
And then Marko went on vacation for 3 weeks. And assigned me to Mike.
Mike thinks he's Jillian Michaels. Or Bob Greene. Either way, he's a meathead, and his whole life revolves around the gym. His schedule is even worse than Marko's. His "free" days don't align with mine - at all - and he doesn't come to work before 11 AM on Saturdays. Which means that I get to work out at 2 o'clock in the fucking afternoon the next 2 Saturdays. It ruins my Saturday - or at least the flow of my Saturday. I get to shower at 4 PM. Yay. Gah. I'm so pissed.
This isn't worth my fucking money. I hate you, 24 Hour Fitness. I don't think I'll be reupping my contract in 15 sessions. Thanks for trying to upsell me, though.

cupcakes
there are 2 cupcakes sitting on the table in our office kitchen. there is also one slice of DQ ice cream cake left in the freezer. i want them so badly - still feeling like i'm in sugar rush central, after some of the treats from the weekend - but i know they're not worth it.
went on a mental break this weekend, and i know it's going to hurt my WI again. serious self-sabotage - i have a great week, and follow it up with a weekend where i pretend like i'm never going to eat again. wow, tanya. just wow.

oh, and...
i just learned about this: http://ow.ly/1CcDI
yes. a cupcake truck. this could be my demise. ;)
yes. a cupcake truck. this could be my demise. ;)
FINALLY!
i lost 4.8 lbs last week. you read that right. 4.8. as in almost 5. as in if i could have peed out just a little more, i would have lost 5 lbs over the course of last week. yah, i know. inappropriately graphic. but seriously - i practically did a happy dance off the scale!
okay - so i got rid of the big weight gain from a couple weeks ago. but now comes the challenge - really and truly getting off this plateau. i'm back to the weight i've been stagnant at since around november. i've seen 171 - just 3 more pounds from where i am now - so i know i can get there. i have to keep up what worked this week, focus on filling foods and identifying hunger vs. emotion, and using my 2nd journal. oh, and i have to keep up the exercise - luckily, i've got 2 stays in place that really help with that - my WW buddy kristen on monday and thursday mornings, plus my trainer on tuesdays and saturdays. that makes all the difference in the world!

changing perspective
it's been a rough few months for this girl. and while i've come up with a 100 excuses and reasons why this or that is making a negative impact on my weight loss, it's all really come down to the fact that i've let other things take control and not said no. i've made bad food choices - eating too much and neglecting my self-control - and it shows on the scale. since jan 1, i've gained roughly 9 lbs. my bff says that it's "my new relationship," but i heartily argue against that. if it's anything, it's the stress of work and not really being happy in what i do there. i've let the stress control my choices, instead of taking the less traveled road. that's all there is.
i'm trying something new - writing down every day little things that are happening with work, etc., as a 2nd way of journaling. this blog helps, but it's hard for me to do in 5 minutes every day. if i carry it with me, i can see what every day was like, and better evaluate the days that i seem to go off the deep end. what happened that day, what event, etc., that might have triggered a bad choice. this should help me better monitor my emotions, and hopefully figure out new ways to deal with them. we'll see if it helps. so far this week, it seems to be doing the trick.

WI again
well last week wasn't bad, but looking at the scale this week, it's going to be a bad one. 3 weeks of bad choices have caught up with me. luckily, i'm having a pretty good week. i've tried to cut down on a lot of my snack habits, and have limited myself to one sweet treat per meal (or no more than 3 per day). that has definitely helped, and i'm finally feeling a little more in control. i don't know what my issue has been, but i need to face it. because frankly, i haven't lost weight in 5 months. and i'm tired of being stagnant. time for this last bit of weight to go.

weigh-in day
it's weigh in day. i'm not looking forward to it. i'm pretty sure i blew myself out of the water again. time will tell, i guess.

100 posts later
this is my 100th post on this blog - actually, it's one of the longer blogs i've ever kept adding too, even though i've had long quiet spells. i decided to look back a little, since i'm doing a yo-yo on the scale (or on a massive plateau - either way), and i'm having a really hard time figuring out where it is i want to be.
i started this blog on january 14, 2008. i had been on the WW program for 4 months. i had lost 40ish pounds. i was feeling successful, happy i had started, and healthier, even though it was only a short time i had been working the program.
that was 2 years, 2 months, and 2 weeks ago. in that time, i've removed 132 more pounds. 132 POUNDS. that is more than some people i know weigh right now. how amazing is that?!
i keep losing perspective on how far i've come and keep focusing on how much further i feel like i have to go. but the fact is that i've taken off an entire person - an entire MAN in some cases - in weight; i am super active - not a couch potato in any way; i'm healthier than i've ever been, in terms of blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar, as well in terms of athletic ability and fitness. i ran 3 miles this morning!
yet there is something - some little voice in my head that is telling me it's easier to be fat. to eat what i want and not feel judged. but i DON'T want to go back there - to the land where i couldn't go shopping with my friends, or wear cute clothes, or date, or buckle an airplane seatbelt. i don't want to! i love being thin. so what's the deal with my mental state?
i'm fairly certain i'm addicted to sugar. i'm fine until i have a little bit, and then it's a free-for-all. i've jumped into a sugar/fat daze 3 times this week, and frankly, it's making me feel like crap. my body is rejecting it - i have a terrible stomachache AGAIN - and yet, i keep doing it. the voice is saying that it'll pass and that it's worth it because it tastes soooooo good.
it's not worth it. it's not worth the humiliation, or the stomach pain, or the gained weight. it's not. enough giving myself slack, enough pretending like i've got this down. i've got issues with food, and i have to deal with them. or else i will gain back some of the weight i've lost - if not more. and frankly, i can't be 350 lbs again. i can't.
so what do i want? what am i able to do today that will help break my sugar free-for-all. first things first - no extra snacks. pay attention to hunger, and only eat when my tummy says that it's time for sustenance. stay out of the peanuts, the m&ms, the chocolate at grandma's. look at the tips i have learned, and the tips i deal out every day, and actually listen to my own advice.
i will not die without cake or ice cream. i will not die without a snack after lunch. i will die if i continue to eat sugar and fat like it's the only stuff on the planet.
today's goal: no extra snacks. stick to the plan i've laid out. pretend it's my very first day on weight watchers.

saturday
yesterday's little victory: i didn't overindulge when i got back to the office because i was so hungry after my doctor's appointment (for which i had to fast)
yesterday's whoops: insane TZ after got home from dinner. and didn't exactly stick to my plan at dinner.
great thing about today: i have points again. always a good thing. i'm eating out twice - once at applebee's and once at the sports column, so as long as i can manage those, i should be okay. we'll have to see how this goes - it could end up not being a great week at the scale because of my indulgences so far, but i have 5 days left to manage it.
off to restock my house with healthy choices!

friday!
well, here we are... on the precipice of another weekend. and this weekend i'm going to stick to my plan.
update on yesterday: went to grandma's, and the only folly i had was a couple handfuls of grapes, and a couple licks of frosting from the cake plate. but otherwise, stuck right to the plan. can't so much for when i got home, but i did kibosh the snacking before it got too out of hand.
today's challenge: other than a late breakfast, tonight's challenge will be pizza! we're having dinner at a great restaurant called Lala, and i'm super excited for some pizza. i can't eat a full pizza (they're 10 in pizzas), and the BF won't share, so i just have to make sure to box mine up when i've had my 2-3 slices. get it off the table so i won't pick at it. have a salad as a starter, and i shouldn't want any dessert. i've accounted for a glass of wine, and have a plan laid out to get all my GHGs in before i hit the restaurant.
i'm ready - only thing missing is a little exercise. if the rain/snow doesn't move in too quickly, we should be able to get in a quick walk before dinner - at least that's what i'm hoping! if not, there's always my gym time tomorrow.

the day after
oh man. i went to bed with a bellyache, and i am definitely paying for my overindulgences today. my tummy is gurgling, and i really just feel like my insides are in a big compactor. why on earth do i do this to myself? ugh.
on a good note, i got up and did an hour on the treadmill - 40 minutes running and 20 minutes walking. it was a lot of APs, and definitely helped kick my day off to a good start. plus, i'm tracked up for the day, and know if i have extra points to spend on snacks (i will NOT be snacking like yesterday, tyvm).
goal for today: not get overwhelmed by grandma's house - especially the chocolate. eat a nice dinner, go for a walk, and go home to go to bed. it's for the best, given the pain i have today from the chocolate consumption yesterday.
one day at a time.

blow up
yah. blew that good day right out of the water. i think i just ate my weight in tamales. and chocolate. but man, it was delicious.
i've gotta get better about listening to my body when it's full. i definitely overate at dinner, not to mention the little snack binge i went on before dinner. i was doing really well, but for some reason, after lunch, i got sidetracked and started some mindless snacking. not great. then i went to the grocery store for some things for dinner, and i bought cake while i was there. and ate the whole giant piece. especially the frosting. bad news.
well, tomorrow's a new day, and yes, weigh-in day. gotta face the bad choices i made today, and if that means i show a gain, it means i show a gain.
let's face it - i'm always going to have a love/hate relationship with food. learning to manage it is what i'm after, and while i'm trying, i can't be 100% perfect. if i can continue to learn more about me, and what triggers my snacks (boredom, loneliness - for the most part), and listen to my body when it says "hey, stop eating!" that's all i can really ask.

snow day!
well, i'm working at home today, so that will provide it's own set of challenges - and the ability to avoid a few things that usually are my downfall at the office. i did manage to avoid the m&ms and the peanuts yesterday - but did have some chocolate in the afternoon. i rearranged my plan a little, but i still enjoyed my soft tacos and some tortilla chips for dinner. it was a successful day, and i stuck to my plan.
other accomplishment for the day: leg pressing 230 lbs for 12 reps. that's the same that marko the new trainer can do. i think i made him feel bad. oh well - means he'll keep pushing me.
today's mini goal - to stick with the plan that i've laid out, even though i'm at home and have access to more food than i would if i packed my lunch. also, i need to get some exercise in - i think later in the day (after i've done most of my work for the day), i'll walk to safeway to pick up some more sour cream. it's only 6 blocks - should be an easy walk, even in the snow.

tuesdays that feel like mondays
i'm back to work after taking yesterday off, and that always throws my week out of whack. not that it's a huge deal - i'd rather be stuck a day behind and be surprised by the time we get to friday.
yesterday was a great back on track day - because dinner was pre-planned, i knew exactly how many points i could spend on lunch and on our tour of the coors brewery. i made a great decision on a sandwich (no chips or other sides), and had just one of my 3 free beers at the brew tour. i was able to stick to my plan, and even have some ice cream for dessert after dinner. i've got my plan laid out for today, including dinner out at a mexican restaurant, and i feel like i'm good to go. now to stay away from the chocolate and peanuts in the office!
yesterday's win: even though we had been walking around a lot of the day, i still went for a nice walk (about 20 min) before we had dinner. it wasn't the biggest AP day, but i did get in exercise, and that's what counts.
today's goal: stay out of the m&ms and peanuts, and stick to the plan i've laid out to be successful today.

snack attack
oh sundays. i was doing great all day - had made good choices, had lots of points set aside for dinner, and then bam! snack attack! it was the late night eating again - and i was hiding it. my friend is in town, and i even waited until she went to bed to start with my eating. really? bad habit!
but i know what my problem was - i felt the urge to snack setting in earlier in the day, and instead of consciously addressing it, i let it get the best of me. plus, i didn't set any small goals for yesterday. so, here we go.
saturday's success: only going into my WPA for dessert - otherwise, my dinner choice and my drinks were right inside my daily points. :)
sunday success: tracking up to the point of the snack, and getting some more things checked off my to-do list that have been put off lately.
today's small goal: to track every BLT, and to make good choices while out to lunch with my visiting friend.
back on track!

oh saturday
last night's party was a total success! it was actually more of a dinner party, and there was a really healthy selection of food - shrimp, bbq chicken sandwiches, crinkle-cut fries (just baked), strawberries, lettuce, and put it on yourself dressing (including oil and vinegar!). i was very pleased. i filled up on strawberries, shrimp, and salad, with a few fries and a little bit of the bbq chicken (no bun). i decided to split a piece of cake and some ice cream with adam, and it was a delicious cherry chocolate. it was well worth it - and while it was a bigger dinner than it would have been at home, i felt totally in control.
today's challenge: being sensible at the bar when we celebrate patty's birthday. i looked up the menu - a few things look good, but nothing that's saying "you must eat me..." i'll probably just stick with a salad there. have a couple beers, and call it good. the goal for tonight - watching the alcohol.
big win for today: according to 24-hour fitness, i'm now at 20.9% body fat and considered "athletic." i was just "fit" the last time we did measurements. but according to the measurements today, i'm golden! i think something was off (the scale - it was saying i was way down, which isn't quite right in my mind), but hey, i'll take it. :)
