The Honesty Board (updated 6/26/09)

This is the board dedicated to keeping me honest as I make myself over.

12/28/08 – Ate 4 belgian chocolate covered oreos. Should’ve eaten the spinach omelette I planned to eat before I got up. Eating those cookies was a vote for being fat instead of fabulous. I’ve got to do better.  (I threw away the other two.  No regrets!)

12/29/08 – Did about 50% on the eating.  I should be cooking the quiche I’m eating to control the ingredients.  I’ll be looking up recipes today.  I didn’t get to workout, but the vitamin does have me feeling alert and not tired like I normally feel after work and while I will be eating some this evening, I’m not hungry.  With some willpower, I can definitely see eating lighter with this kind of help with control.  On a positive note, I drank all of my water for yesterday and today.  I see promise.

12/30/08 – I’m having a proud moment.  I am only eating half of my planned breakfast because I am full.

12/30/08 – OMG, I started grazing!  I’m not even hungry.  Argh.  Day by day.  *sigh*

1/05/09 – I’ve been sabotoging myself, but today I keep moving forward.

1/11/09 – I’ve lost 5 lbs. Now I want a really good meal. I’ll have to think of what that will be. I know it will include bread and fat. lol

1/16/09 – I had a week where time wasn’t mine. I worked through lunch most days, I often ate what felt good, although I wasn’t terrible. I just didn’t do what I was supposed to do. I made no progress this week.

2/28/09 – Yes, the ticker isn’t moving.  I don’t know why.  I’ve been walking 3-4 times per week, about 3 miles each time.  I’m not the perfect eater, but I’m not terrible either.  I have ordered my delivery meals for next week, so I hope that combined with my workouts, I’ll start to see results.  I do know that I’m losing inches.  The belt notch has moved considerably.  Now I just wish the scale would catch up.

4/29/09 – Started the Fat Smash Diet.  See blogs on the experience so far.  Major changes seem to be eating more fruits, grains, and vegetables; less meat, cheese, and sweets.  Seriously considering looking more into a vegetarian lifestyle, at least 90% of the time.  I like the options I’ve found.  What I see is that I can no longer eat fried foods, fast foods, pasta, cheese, or sweets like I have been.  Those are special occasion foods, not every day foods.  Every day foods are vegetables and grains, a little protein, sprinkled with a little dairy.

5/13/09 – 17 days and not one cheat! This time I’m going to make it!

5/15/09 – I’ve been overdoing it on the granola.  It appears to be my healthy junk food.  I may have to give it to C.  if I can’t control myself.  I’ve still be on plan, generally speaking, but it’s a slippery slope!

5/16/09 – I’ve figured out how to beat my granola addiction.  I’ve moved it to my evening snack.  That’s when I crave it, so that’s when I should eat it.

6/26/09 – I didn’t buy the yummy granola this week at Central Market. I may buy some of the boxed variety when I go to the grocery store tomorrow. I’ve figured out that my biggest weight loss challenge at this point is my mental block. I have everything I need to lose weight, only if I mentally release myself from the fat me. Seriously. I don’t crave the food, I don’t want it. But fat me will still say buy it, eat it.
