Sugar, Sugar

My weight was at 145lbs today. I am staying active, not going too hard yet since I am still a little sick. I am looking forward to being 100% so I can give it my all again. I was also down for a few days because I added side lunges to my weight routine and my quads were sore!! I usually do forward lunges with 8lb weights, I guess side lunges challenge a whole new area of the muscle because holy shit, I was sore. On the second set I had to put down the weights so I could finish the set.

It is so important that I keep exercising since I am eating lots and I don't want to gain any weight. I feel fine about staying where I am (weight wise) until I can figure out some strategies in making healthy meal/snack choices througout the day. I need to look at why I am eating or more like picking at unhealthy choices throughout the day. Do I need to go back to Fitday? I like the freedom of not having to write down everything I eat.

Some Thoughts

At home I seem to be okay most of the time. I have lots of good choices and few fatty/sugary snacks around.

At work I eat candy all day long from the candy bowl and any cake or pies that are served for celebrations. (Which are all the time). Does this mean I need two pieces, cause that is what I eat.

It is the sugar I go for at work. Am I stressed when I am there? What triggers me to want sugary treats when I am there? I bring a lunch with healthy choices. Maybe my lunches need to be more appealing. Maybe more variety. At the end of the day when I sit down to do paper work, I instantly start snacking on the candies that are there. Is it the paper work? Too much on my plate?

For the next couple of weeks I will try and think and maybe write down my thoughts/feelings when I eat sugary foods. I cut sugar out before for a month. What was going on then that made it successful for me? What was I doing? What was I thinking? Food Prep? Water? Routine? Exercise?

Do I need my face to break out again to remind me of the effects of eating this way, or I will I start gaining the weight back?
