1 lb lost
1 job interview
My trainer and exercise physiologist suggested that I "play" with my food to try and find something that will work for my lifestyle. That brought me to trying the low/no cheese diet, and the EVUIP diet. The scale confirmed last week that I have lost one whole pound. I'm not going to continue to weigh myself, as this has proven futile. From now on, I will only weigh myself based on how good (or not good) I feel. Right now I feel pretty great, so let's just go with it.
Low/No Cheese is going well. It's actually not as difficult as I thought. I'm allowing for a pizza or lasagna once a week, and I'm not going to die without the entire baby loaf and crackers. The "Eat Veggies Until I Puke" diet is not working. Eating more veggies at the beginning of a meal does not mean I will eat less of the delicious stuff. It has caused me to think about how many veggies I've consumed on a daily basis, though.
I'm still intending to "play" which includes trying different eating and exercise tactics. Let's make a list of these tactics, shall we?
1.) Low/No Cheese will continue.
2.) Be a little more hungry at work, and drink more water.
3.) No wine consumption until Thursday.
4.) Add mileage to workouts.
5.) Add yoga to weekly exercise plan.
6.) "Earn" food. For example, have a big breakfast *after* working out. Use food as a reward. (Exactly what they told our mothers NOT to do! Awesome!)
7.) Take swim lessons. Add swimming once a week.
8.) Bike don't drive to work this summer.
As for the job search. I had a phone interview last week, and I have no idea how it went. I was asked skill related questions, I answered them and gave examples. Seemed pretty straight forward. If they never speak to me again, I won't cry my eyes out like I would have two months ago. Just like trying to change my body, trying to change my job doesn't help if I'm weighing myself all the time. It just makes me feel like crap.
Now, I'm going to spin class. Bye.
