Need pictures

I need to start taking pictures of my food again.... I always forget

I have added a meal, but not the quantity of food. Smaller meals, at 2 and a half hours apart...  Am never hungry!!! And so I don't carb freak out I am going to have frozen yogurt on my day off. I had frozen yogurt every day in 2010 while I was losing weight, so I figured why not!!?

I stayed in my calorie budget today and I trained so win, win

The scale is going down slowly, but slow is okay... At least its moving in the right direction!!

See ya tomorrow, with food pictures!!

its a mind set

It is weird how once I decide it kind of all clicks

I found this cool site that helps you visualize your body 

here is a comparison of what I want vs where I am now

Now 

Goal weight 

Now 

Goal weight 

This dunk kind has been a catalysis that is going to take me to the next phase of my journey. I am telling the WWW but I am not going to scream this out to my family and friends. They may poo poo me and I don't want the negativity

I am not even sure any of my family still read my blog

I am not going to put a time frame out there. I am just going to start on this journey and see how long it takes me

My clothes don't feel right. It is time for change... and weight loss is almost easier than maintenance

I know how to do weight loss... I am going to go back to the 20 minutes every morning on the treadmill... I know they say you need at least 30-45 minutes on the treadmill for it to even be effective, but a little bit is better than nothing and I am sweating after 20 minutes!

food was good today, I did a core and cardio class this morning and I was sweating!!! some cooking, Christmas shopping and laundry and it's a full day off!

tootles bloggity folks

Bad.... Really bad

I changed trainers on October 14th and I love my new trainer, he pushes me so hard! My work outs are so high intensity! I am so sore! I love it 

But he doesn't really do the whole food thing like I am used to. He looked at my diet and said I was on too low of calories... 

All my brain hears is " WOO HOO eat more!!!" 

Back comes the coffee creamer, the peanut butter, more carbs.... I am gaining, but in my rationalizing brain ... I am building soo much muscle ... Yeah .... Ah NO!!

But I am so sore from my workouts, so I must be building muscle ..... Yeah..... Ah NO!!

I am so much hungrier because I am working out, and after all.... I should be eating more, right?..... Yeah..... Ah NO!!

And my workouts are so amazing I have pretty much stopped any additional cardio.... I mean the workouts are so good that should carry me, right? ...... Yeah.... Ah NO!!

And I did the math today, I have been eating an additional 600 calories for the last 7 weeks.... So 49 days multiplied by 600 is 29,400 calories and a pound of fat is 3500 so 29,400 divided by 3,500 = 8.4 pounds and I gained 10 pounds of FAT!!!!!

My lean body mass stayed the same, so the good news is I didn't lose any muscle, but I did gain (which I knew and expected) but it was all fat, which I didn't expect.... Here I thought I was super muscle Mama.... Yeah.... Ah NO!! 

So back to the old, cut out the creamers, nut butters, salad dressing with full fat oil, all the excess calories .... Back to what worked, but not back, back, back ..... I want to keep my calories under 1300 

That's reasonable, right? 

Today was just a reality check for me.... "no, Karla you are not building into some super muscle woman"...... ... REALLY? I am training, because I freaking love it, and I know how to lose weight, actually the losing part is easier than the maintaining part.... 

So here I go again ..... 

Won't ya join me? For Karla loses weight.... Again .... 

No seriously ... I am just being sarcastic, because I am disappointed in how much bull I was actually talking myself into.... I know my body and what would make me think all of a sudden I am this muscle woman!  

So I just finished my post dunk pity (or celebration) food binge 

Tomorrow is a new day. Back to basics 

It's dip day

I will post in a few hours 

2 posts in a day!!

a favorite :) a serving of Greek 0% Fage, 4 strawberries, a serving of SF jello pudding mix and a splash of unsweetened almond milk... throw in a Stevia and total yumminess!!

I was feeling hungry so I had a few carrots 

this will be my dinner 

I may have a slight obsession with Kevita :P 

and a Vitamin Shoppe run

vanilla, chocolate and even a HUGE score of cinnabun!! 

and I had a bowl of squash soup.... and burned the heck out of the roof of my mouth... boo with turkey sausage ... kind of a weird combo, I think I will be saving the turkey sausage for breakfast with egg whites from now on 

later lovelies
