It was a month... kinda a shitty month, kinda not. Bad month for weight loss given that I actually GAINED this month. I was 142.1 after the gym, but when I got home from work I was 144.5, then I ate a ton of chips, licorice, prunes, cereal and had some tea. Hopefully I can shed most of it overnight.
Stuck mostly to what I was supposed to, minus the binge when I got back. Still, not a bad day overall. I really have to redo the charts for this week. I'm not doing the month at a time anymore as it's too hard to keep going. This weeks goal is to be 140 by Saturday morning.
Work was ok... Bad numbers, didn't find much.
Gym was good. Legs felt great on the treadmill, only for 20min and then I had my own little leg day. Should've perhaps put more weight on the leg press but I was running out of time. Tomorrow I'll do more arms/abs and then on Weds there's the two classes. Thursday hopefully we'll go skating, then Friday go home :)
I have to find time to go grab some stuff before I go home on Friday. I'm still debating about making a chili with Bison meat, maybe seeing if someone wants to come over and help me eat it.
Yeah, I'm hopeless....

Inventory
Was tonight. I stuck to my GMO free diet. It was harder earlier today when there was a table laden with beautiful goodies I wanted to chow down on. It's like quitting smoking. I'm in 7 days, why do I want to fuck it up now? That's keeping me going.
142.2 this morning but back up to 145.6lbs tonight. I ate till I felt like puking.
Tomorrow is a 'cleanse' day. Go to the gym, have some tea, maybe oatmeal, go to work, eat salad and yogurt, come home and bed. Eat as little as possible. Then Tuesday Feb 1st, back into it. I want to get down to 140 by friday and see where I can go from there.
It's like quitting smoking. If I can get past day 1, then day 2, the rest will get so much easier. I've quit smoking. I can deal with the food issue.

Relief
I hadn't heard from Shaun by the time I woke up. I did manage to pass out even though my sleep app had me boucning from deep sleep to awake for most of the night apparently. I went to work, late, lots of snow, buying fucking coffee for the team and forgetting to get a receipt.
Finally just before noon I got a FB message from Shaun and almost cried with relief. There had been a few other posts on his wall from concerned friends and I think we all took a huge breath when he finally posted.
Tried out the camera and it seems to be ok so far. Have to take it out with me tomorrow to try it out in daylight to make sure the crack in the side of the lens casing isn't causing light to come in. If the sun is out tomorrow it'll reflect of the 2ft of snow that fell today making it super bright!!! If there's any issues they should show themselves!
Went to go to the gym today, but apparently it's not 24/7. They still close at 8pm on Saturday and Sunday... well fuck.
I was 145.0 this morning, bloated and crampy. Oh fucking yay. I forgot to take a rice cake and an apple to work and was starving by 3pm even though I didn't eat until noon anyways. I was 144.3 before I ate a bunch of chips and salsa and had tea. Hopefully I'm down tomorrow. No gym as it's just going to cut it too fine, plus i'll need a nap. Church then nap, then work is the goal.
I have to go to the gym on Monday otherwise it will be an entire week I haven't gone. I think tomorrow morning when I wake up I should do some situps, pushups, those weird arm/shoulder things, basically anything I can to help. Monday go around 9am to 11am then home and to work for the numbers download. Tuesday go after work, Weds same. Thursday I'm hoping to go skating, and then Friday go home :)
I think I should plan on getting back to 140-141 by Friday. Get back on track. I've got a GMO free Boysnberry soda for tomorrow. Loaded with sugar but it's liquid at least. No more chocolate left, and almost no more dried fruit except prunes. I need to get back to water and restriction. The 'free' week is over. Back to work!!!! There's a 130 number in my future!!!
Today has been a crazy day. I've wanted to cry from relief, joy, frustration and sadness. Such is the way of life. However, overall a much better day.....

And The Shoe Drops
Well fuck.
What a fucking day.
Waste of a work day, systems not working, me not working, no one else working.
Shit night of sleep. Woke up marginally later than I wanted to. Ate fucking chocolate for breakfast, just coz it was there and I needed to get rid of it. Ate my oatmeal for 150 fucking calories. and went to work.
Ate all my lunch, including salad, for probably around 600 calories then home so I can binge some more. Then ate dinner. Had 2 poached eggs and steamed veggies. Followed by chips, salsa, chocolate, ice cream, dried fruit, etc. Probably another 500-600 calories.
In all of this I'm talking to Shaun who is having one hell u'va month, today being especially shitty. He makes some crack about taking a 'dirt nap' and has gone offline. I can't get hold of him. Do I think he'll do something stupid? I sure as hell hope not. Regardless, I'm worried. I want him to at least send me a message, drunk or whatever, let me know he's ok. I'm really hoping he will get this all figured out. I'm not going home on the weekend to find out that he's no longer there as he got decertified.
To top it all off we took the kids for a walk as I decided not to go to the gym thanks to the back of my legs being sore again. This time I wasn't going to push it. We got about 5 houses down before I fell on the ice, landed on my beautiful camera, and I could feel it in my arm. Stood up, said I was fine, went a few more houses and then my nephew slipped. I went down right after. (it was snowing and hiding all the black ice... we all fell at that point).
The camera seems to be fine, despite a definate hit to the lens. I think it's ok. I need to take more photos to be sure. My wrist hurt at first, but I think it's fine now. I'm gettting shooting pains down my collarbone, from my elbow, and in my thumb.
FUCK
To top it all off, I'm 145lbs. Maybe higher now.
This month is a write off. Thank fuck it's almost over. I can't wait until this weekend is over, the week finishes and I can drive home on Friday. I want to see Shaun, go to my chiropractor, sleep in my own bed, and be alone for a while.
I feel like I'm out of control again. I eat whatever I want. Last night I went to the natural food store as it's GMO free in all their products. I ate half a banana bread, a massive brownie, a cookie and almost bought bread too. I would have kept eating and eating and eating.
Still having the digestive issues, and today I managed to throw up a bit without trying too hard. Again, only a tiny bit and none of this sticking my fingers down my throat. I just felt sick so I was. Mostly while I was having a freakout about Shaun.
I have no chocolate left. I have some soy ice cream (that isn't that good), chips and salsa, a tiny bit of licorice, prunes and dried pinapple. I have some chilli, a bean burrito and the rest is low cal. I need to go get some Omega 3-6-9 stuff to help with metabolism and digestion as that was Shauns suggestion when I complained I was hungry and wasn't dropping pounds.
I can't do this healthy by moderation thing. I just pig out on shit I'm not supposed to eat. I miss the restriction, the flat belly, the numbers, the charts, the feeling of floating on air when I hit that beautiful number I wanted to.
I need to go back.
Right now I think my goal needs to be to get back to 140. I need to do that by Saturday morning, giving me a week. I've pretty much established that I don't eat 'normal' food at the new store so there's nothing there to tempt me. No damn quarter candy machines etc. I need to get on board again. 130 is the new 140.
Tomorrow, half of the oatmeal and coffee. Half portion of yogurt, then a salad and dressing. I've got an apple, rice cake and tea. I have several options for the evening. I can go to some party from 5 to 7 or so, manage to skip dinner and can't eat the treats that's served (I'm doing really well with this so far. It's almost like quitting smoking. I don't want to screw it up just once as I'll have to start all over again). I could go to the gym then at around 8pm, work out for 3 hrs and come home. Sleep, wake up and go to church, home and nap, then work. Sunday take the burrito and salad with yogurt and I'm good for the evening. Monday a light day with no gym, then back to it on Tuesday. I should be able to drop the 5lbs in 7 days.... Especially if the first 3 come off in 2 days.
I can do this. I know I can.
Now if only Shaun would let me know he's ok.

Uh....
As much as I'd like to start this off with work stuff, unforunatly something more pressing is happening. New diet day 3 and it feels like my digestive system is finally catching up. In a BIG way. I've done nothing but run/dash/sprint to the bathroom all day, probably helped by the prunes and licorice, and now while I feel full, there's not much more 'moving' anymore.
I was 140.9lbs this morning, and 144.2 post tea about an hour ago which sucks.
I swear this diet is making me eat way more. I said fine for a week so I can get used to not haveing the GMO's or HFCS in my system, but I think that grace period may end now. I'm not doing any charts until Monday morning, but I'd like to start Feb hovering right below 140.0. I'll take 139.9 right now!
Gym today, did the Zumba and body blast program so I'll be achy tomorrow. Thinking on taking the day off, or I'll go later and just do some light cardio. Maybe take a walk instead after work with the camera? I still ate a ton, and I'm not recording all of it either. I'm also eating a ton more sugar than usual.
The chocolate is all finished, and the chips are almost done. Tomorrow I need to wisely space my food out. I'll have the oatmeal in the morning, yogurt around 11am (I'll do the full portion as it may keep me fuller longer) then the salad around 1pm or so, with the salmon. Fill up on water, have late afternoon tea. Take carrots, apple, rice cake and no burrito as there'll be no gym. If I stick to that, then I can have chilli tomorrow, or maybe the pasta. Hopefully that will instigate a weight loss for Friday morning.
Work is cool. Got to go to my new store and the GM is awesome. I got to basically make my own schedule and he's totally cool with me doing whatever I need to do. He wants the help so I'm very eager to jump right in. It's going to be fun!!!
Figured things out a bit with Shaun and my gym membership. I'm still going to work with him and will transfer memeberhisp only in April. I'm hoping that the friendship will become stronger, and I really am curious to see what this new diet will do to my weight, BMI, BF % etc. I think he may be too so it'll be good to go through this.
My mind is in several different places. I keep thinking that 130 will look so good. That at 130 I will be stronger, leaner, and look so much healthier. I can blame the GMO free diet for the loss.
But I want to keep the muscle mass up. I've felt great the last few days, I don't want to lose that.
I'm too tired for this shit tonight. Bed, work then thinking (and a lot of catch up!!!)

The Offer
Wasn't expecting it today, knew it would be coming, but not sure what form it would take. I won't be tied to a store, they're 'creating' a job for me, but I'll still be coded the same. I will get to travel around to the different stores and help them with their processes etc. Basically something that I would love to do as a permenent job. It's a fantastic opportunity. Then when the new store opens, I would be once again tied to a store, and hopefully it will be the new store.
It's what I wanted....right?
I keep thinking on what I will miss. I'll miss my house, my cats, my fireplace. I'll miss being on my own (I'll have to have a roomate... too expensive otherwise), watching TV whenever I want or having complete quiet.
I'll miss Shaun and seeing him at least twice a week. I'll miss his humour and his uncanny ability to make me laugh regardless of how shitty a day I'm having. I'll miss the gym, how it's not super warm like the gym here, and the classes I wont' be able to take anymore.
I'll miss my store, and the people there. I'll miss the way the light POURS in during fall and spring, blinding everyone. I'll miss looking out of the front window and seeing all the way to the mountains, watching the sun go down on a crisp winter evening.
I'll miss Shannon and her son, hanging out at her place having a good laugh. I'll miss driving on the weekend, hanging with the guys there and the extra cash it brought in.
I'll miss my home.
But....
The gym here has a pool. I love the Zumba class and the body blast isn't too bad. I like Maya, the instructor. I like how it's 24/7 so I can always get a workout if I can get my ass up early enough!
There's more opportunity here. The challenge will be amazing, it will totally get me the cred I need to move on and get into CHQ. I will get to 'expand my horizons' in ways I never could back home.
I will still see Shaun. I've sent him a few messages checking if things would still be cool and while things will change, I'll still have him as my trainer.
I'll still having camping with Shannon, like we did the last time I moved up here. Once I move out of Stephs place our relationship will go back to a friendship instead of a wierd 'roomate' feeling where I keep to myself and she 'mothers' me or at least attempts to. I'll stop feeling like I'm constantly on the go and can settle down.
I said yes of course to the offer. At this point I can't say no, but I'm not sure I would anyways.
Today, started off great. I ate properly, felt famished by noon and ate lunch. Then by 3pm was STARVING. I ended up buying a bean burrito (GMO Free of course) , chips and chocolate and had a good ol' pig out. I hit the gym a bit full, and then went to a natural store (had a hard time as their labels don't indicate nutritional content other than ingredients and no GMO certification) where I bought more food to munch on. I was 140.9 this morning, post tea I was 142.5lbs. I just want to stay under 141 for tomorrow.
I think this week I will 'take off' due to the change in diet. By that I mean no charts and no goals to lose. I just want to stay 139-141lbs. If I can hang there until Monday I should have quite succesfully stabilised my metabolism.
And then we'll see where that goes.
I feel amazing right now (well, not right now. Right now I still feel full....) but I feel strong and full of energy. I'm still jazzed by the numbers from yesterday, the 3lbs of muscle gain and 1lbs fat lost. However, in the back of my mind I keep thinking that 135 will just look so much better, and will be a low weight. It will be the lowest since I was a teenager. Next one would be around 127-129 and I think I was that when I was 12 or so. I think Shauns fat measurement had me at 21.3% even though my scale is way higher than that. I want to get into that 'lean' category which I think is in the 20% area. I just don't want to sacrifice muscle.
I want to see how this eating and exercising will help. If I continue to drop this week, I can only imagine what I will do next week without the junk food in there too. Plenty of fresh foods coming up!!! When I go home I'll have to make a chilli or something and freeze it. Plenty of protein in there!!!
Damn, I feel better now. Calmer, ready for bed.....
It's what I wanted....right?

Day One
I woke up late, but got almost everything accomplised by the time I hit the gym. We did do measurements and I was 144 on that scale, 141.7lbs at home. Yup, so I've gained a lb according to Shaun, however it worked out to a lb of fat lost, and 3lbs of muscle gained. He's happy, I was kinda.
I was on the elliptical and saw two guys from 'my' store and the one guys girlfriend. Shaun was asking if he was working on the side or anything like that. They left right after we got started though, thank goodness.
Chin up day but we spent so much time babbling again we skipped the assisted ones. Probably not a bad idea as I managed to do the jumping ones far better than last time and definatly felt it more.
Headed to get a massage which felt super good. She figures that my back issue from this weekend was caused by a massive cluster of knots in my glute. So far it's helped!!! My neck is still a bit stiff though. Definatly someone I will go back and see when I'm back in town. So worth the money!
Packed up my shit and the cats and headed back to Calgary, dropping the cats of at 'Auntie' Sharons. It was kinda sad. I know they'll be cared for there as its not fair that they're just getting those quick visits with my parents, but I'm going to really miss them when I'm home. If I go back home for March I will have to take them back. I don't want to go an entire month at home alone without them.
Food for today: Had the cereal for breakfast, which was delicious! Had some tea too which tasted kinda weak. Half a Luna Bar pre gym, and a salad and the other half after. Snacked on chips and salsa, licorice and 3 Lindt chocolates on the way up (Yah!!! Totally GMO free!!! Who woulda thunk!??!?!?!) and also had a seaweed rice cake. Damn it tasted good!!! Just like sushi but crunchy. For dinner I had the vegetable barely soup as I hit the local safeway to find they don't have the organic frozen dinner section that we have back at home. Oh well....
I've got to find that natural foods place Shaun suggested. Drove down to where it should be but the area is under construction so I'll have to google it.
I think I've lost weight today. I was 141.5lbs before I had my tea, so tomorrow I should be 141. If I keep this up, I will lose weight!!! I won't be home for at least 11 days now thanks to inventory this weekend, so I'm hoping (and I know it's bad) that by keeping my calories below 1000 and hitting the gym as often as possible, I can steadily lose, but lose the fat. I'm hoping that the next time I'm down it's noticible.
I'm still very excited by this and can't wait to check out what some of the stores have up here. I need to find more snack food as I don't think I considered that too well. By snack food, I mean chips, and something sweet, perhaps ice cream? It will stop my binging stupidly later on and you can only buy it in small quantities. I'm hoping to find more dried fruit that's GMO free also.
Wander: I was wondering the same. I mean, I've been eating like shit all last week and managed to maintain a normal (if not higher that what I want) weight. Now I"m eating 'healthy' and still restricing but no where near as severe as I was, and I"m dropping weight. I'm hoping that I can keep this going for a bit as I was getting to a point where I was binging constantly due to the so low calorie diet.
I was on the elliptical and saw two guys from 'my' store and the one guys girlfriend. Shaun was asking if he was working on the side or anything like that. They left right after we got started though, thank goodness.
Chin up day but we spent so much time babbling again we skipped the assisted ones. Probably not a bad idea as I managed to do the jumping ones far better than last time and definatly felt it more.
Headed to get a massage which felt super good. She figures that my back issue from this weekend was caused by a massive cluster of knots in my glute. So far it's helped!!! My neck is still a bit stiff though. Definatly someone I will go back and see when I'm back in town. So worth the money!
Packed up my shit and the cats and headed back to Calgary, dropping the cats of at 'Auntie' Sharons. It was kinda sad.
