The eating machine??!

Hey guys! So the last two days have been just weird and I wondered if anyone can relate to my situation:

for some reason I am recently WAY hungrier than normal. I really feel like since i've started watching my portions my stomach has "shrunk" so to speak. I am usually full after a small serving and I eat about 6-8 times a day (were talking like 200 calorie meals here). Anyway, this is the second month now that I've suddenly gone into this super hungry feeling- like just one serving is nor enough! Yesterday I had chicken soup (about 1 1/2 cups) but I felt like I needed another serving to feel satisfied (so I did).

I know maybe you are thinking " well maybe it's just not a filling food" but the thing is, it does fill me normally. I am supposed to start my period in a little over a week (I am on BC so it's like a planned schedule) and Im trying to think if there is any " womanly" reason I'm feeling like this??

I'm at a loss. Any suggestions??

Getting tired of hearing....

My husband asked if he's lost weight!! Yes, that's right, two months and 14 pounds into my journey has anyone asked me if I've lost weight?? NO! Have they asked my stick skinny, 6foot 3inch tall husband?? Multiple times!! He's actually getting worried from all the comments. He keeps saying " I am not TRYING to lose weight, I don't get it!!"

The man eats like ab elephant...no joke. Last Friday he ate a small bag of chips, an entire order of chicken teriyaki, and then another bag of chips when we got home for dinner. Not to mention I bought him a costco sized box of movie theater butter popcorn that he demolished in less than a month!!

All I can think of is that although he has not reduced his portion sizes, he is eating healthier meals because of my cooking choices.

All I can say is (excuse my french but...) DAMN HIM!!...love ya hunny! :
;)

Wahoo!! Joyous celebration!!

Today is my two month anniversary on this journey. I really like to celebrate things... So any excuse is fine by me. I'm doing this by weeks, so I am starting my 9th week today. And I have some wonderful news!!..... My weigh in was this am!! What does that mean??

Well...

I've lost 15 pounds!

I have joined a new decade!

I am now down to the weight I was this time last year before I went on an eating spree...anything I lose from here is a new kind of negative in my eyes!

I am super excited. Too bad it's raining here in Washington... That means I must go face Jillian.

TMI: my crack fiasco.

Today I forgot my belt. Well friends, maybe this is a little bit of a non scale victory, but let's just say I am NEVER going to make that mistake again. After losing close to 14 pounds, my pants were falling down all day long and the hubby had one too many crack shots!! It was quite embarassing!

Tommorow I definately need to remember the belt, I don't want to go around tramautizing more innocent people!!

My Dirty Little Secret

Hi my name is Nicole, and I'm addicted to food. You may be my best friend, my family, or even my husband...but you don't know. You have no idea that while we are hanging out, I'm always thinking of my next meal. You have no idea that when we eat together, I'm watching every bite your eating and making sure I don't look to far ahead of you finishing my meal...but either way, I will. I judge you for eating healthy because I'm eating french fries, but really I'm just wishing I could have an ounce of self control. I count going shopping as my monthly excercise. And skipping dessert tonight will surely help me lose ten pounds... Won't it??

The fact is....this WAS me. I'm changing daily and although these dirty little secrets still sometimes rear their ugly heads from time to time, I'm slowly learning how to chase them out of sight.

Just plugging along!!

Ok, this is crazy. I just logged on to blogger and the first three new blogs to read were all about wii! Two were even titled the exact same thing (wii) lol. I feel like I am really missing out on something!

Today I did c25k 6.2. That's 10 minutes of running, 3 of walking, and then another ten minutes of running. It was hard!! The last 5 minutes kicked my butt. 6.3 is around 25 minutes of straight running. I think I am going to stick with 6.2 a couple more times before I move on, no need to rush.

Getting excited for Mondays weigh in. It will be my two month mark on this journey. Plus i'm hoping to see a loss after the holiday gain!

A little MIA

I am sorry to say that my computer has died :(. This is so very traumatizing as I will not be able to update you all to the full extent until we find a proper replacement! I am typing right now on my itouch and it is quite the slow process!! It's also way more difficult to keep up with blogs so please bare with me for a couple days while this gets sorted out!

For now I will just throw out a few important points:

I am back from my visit with my mom. It was a really fun time and although we ate out almost every meal and I didn't really count calories, I feel pretty confident in my choices. I also got to use her gym on wednesday.

New years eve started out good with a one mile run with my friend oli. Eating was decent but I did drink alcohol that night and I kind of cringe to think how many calories that might have been.

I rested today and hung out with friends. I did have hopes to start the new yr off with a good work out, but it just didn't happen. However, in ok with that because I no longer feel like if I take a break I will fall off the cycle.

Like I said in the last post, although I don't really want to go back to work on Monday, I am looking foward to getting back to the routine! Our fridge is empty so I plan on stocking up this weekend!!
