9 weeks out

Oct 20, 2010

Hmm what will I rant about today.  Well I missed today's workout because I felt really crappy.  I finally saw the scale move once again.  My morning naked weight on my lower scale said I was at 267 which I am not taking to the bank just yet.  I will be weighed at the doctor's office on Friday morning when I get my B-12 shot. 

I started the C25K and incorporating that into both my race training and my exercise program.  I am feeling good overall but my exercise routines make me tired.  I sweat and work out great.  My body is changing and my clothing is fitting nice I am excited.  I had a party on Friday and took a bottle of dealcoholized wine for me to drink so that I did not feel left out of the loop when it came to drinking.  I am comfortable with the small amounts of food I can eat and still taking it nice and slow.

I ate half a packet of weight management oatmeal and have had half a serving of baked whole wheat pita chips.  These are all trigger foods for me generally speaking but also comforting.  I have not eaten too much or pushed myself, but I measure out a reasonable amount and then dig in.  I unlike others have to be distracted by tv or my computer.  If left to eat with no distractions I would eat twice as fast. 

I have no problems with some agave syrup I don't overdo it but I can use it in place of certain sweetners, for example I add it to my greek yogurt and I am pleased.  I also had a couple of tbs of granola today it made the yogurt take forever but it was not high in fat, sugar, or carbs so it was an ok thing.  I don't think I will do that again it took forever to eat the 6 oz of yogurt.

I have a friends party to go to on Saturday.  She is making healthier versions of many of the things we love.  I am making the brownies from Rocco Dispirito's cookbook with the base ingredient of black beans.  I am also picking up more dealcoholized wine it really did not taste like glorified grape juice.  It was somewhat dry so I am happy to find a happy medium that distracts me from my choice of abstaining.
