I have a plan………..and that plan is:

    1600 - 2200 calories and no more than 10% from fat.

    complex carbs………and severly restrict simple carbs……..those are the white ones……..think brown

    cardio 7 days a week and twice on some

    lift weights 4 days a week

If I follow this plan I will lose close to 3 pounds a week.

weigh in day for me is Friday………..during my last chance workout……..I mentally go over my week and try to figure out what the scale is going to say……okay so this week I had one binge occurence…….an occurence is when I eat well all day and binge for a meal………….I had a binge day……….that’s were I overeat for 2 or more meals………..and cake or candy is involved………I had 2 mindless eating events……….mindless eating is when you eat something without a reason to why…….the other day while in the kitchen………there was a jar of peanut butter out and without realizing it………I got a spoon and had some………this made the journal…….last night while grilling………there were pistachio nuts in the kitchen……..I started eating them for no reason……..so there was an added 350 calories and brought my fat percentage for the day up to 22 % double on where I am normally……yes I count everything……..so my weight loss was exactly 1/2 pound for the week………this is what I deserved and no a loss is not a loss…….I had an oppurtunity to lose weight this week and get closer to a number that would delight me and that number is 199………I feel like in my sub conscious I am afraid of success…….and the next two weeks……..I have many good things going on and they involve all different drinking and eating stituations………so a good loss this week would have helped……..enough of the physco-babble………I will try to control and not totally binge and hopefully 2 weeks from now……..I dont put on any pounds……..I plan not to lose………just maintain……….

getting off point……….my point is you need to make a plan………and fiddle with that plan……….until you know its rock sold and once you have the plan………you need to stick with it………more importantly you need to not have you fat brain pick it apart………what we need to do is be brutally honest with ourselves……………and make sure that when we say we are on plan that was really the case………..sometimes we hear people saying I hit a plateau……..or I dont know why im not losing weight………and we are just lying because we didnt strictly stay on plan……..if you do stay on plan……….and dont lose any weight than thats not a good plan……..
