Toni Bourlon's Journal, 26 February 2016

So, here we are at the end of February and I haven't made ANY progress on either my goal of losing 5 lbs this month, OR the "Lose 1 lb a week" challenge. In fact, if I were being honest I'd admit I'm up a bit, 146.5 lbs this morning:( But on the bright side, I actually did run a mile yesterday, at 4 mph, but still for a solid 15 minutes, which means I've reached my March goal early - yay!!! I also played volleyball for about an hour, and what did I do after that? I went to Braums and had a cheeseburger and a sundae - gee, wonder why I'm not losing weight? Plus, Tuesday was another bad food day, we had a ton of pastries up at the office and I just gorged on them (so embarrassing). There was one good side effect, on Wednesday I didn't even want to look at them, haha! Still have trouble saying "no" to freebies at work, gotta work on that.

So, that was one goal met out of two - time for a March goal. My hubby and I have put down deposits on that dream trip to New Zealand (a big SHOUTOUT to any Kiwis on Fatsecret!), so this will be one year when I actually keep the New Year's Resolution. One of the things I'm planning to do is kayak on the Pelorus river. There's a tour that follows the Dwarves in Barrels route from "The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug" movie. I call myself Taurielfan for a reason, haha! Also, there's a hike to a place called Earnslaw Burn, a very beautiful place, but you can't drive there. You either hike or pay for a helicopter ride, which costs almost as much as the airfare from L.A., so we'll be hiking. This means I need to train and condition for that hike, which is about 7 miles 1 way over some pretty challenging terrain. But I think it will be worth it! (Now, if I could only figure out how to insert the image!)

your not gonna lose any weight with what your eating,, lots of carbs and sugar.. you may want to revisit your diet if your serious about losing weight.

You have to remember that you're in control of what you eat. Impulse eating is just bad management, if you're not ready to own it you won't see improvement.

Yes, that's true, too many carbs & not enough protein has been an issue for me. I definitely wasn't following my diet Tuesday or last night. I'm doing better today - of course it's Lent, and I'm not supposed to eat any meat (except for fish, don't know why) today. I found some wild-caught Alaskan Pollock, which I'll have for dinner along with some broccoli & maybe some brown rice. Tomorrow I'll be going on a 4-mile walk around a nearby park. I need to train for my NZ trip, and I know you can't eat crap & hope to train hard - gotta keep telling myself that!

for the free food frenzy at work try this (my cube-mate recommended) Tell yourself that you can have one if you wait just 10 minutes. Then try for 10 more, if after 3 10 minute waits you can't help yourself then make you earn them like walking to the bathroom on another floor or taking the long route to the food area. In all of the break rooms here today there are boxes and boxes of cinnamon rolls and chocolate brownies. I just keep waiting 10 more minutes and I walked down 3 floors to find a bathroom and water fountain! Give it a try - it may work for you!

I like that idea about waiting and walking - I will DEFINITELY give that a try, thanks!
