See here's another problem. I've never had to lose weight before so my workouts have been to build muscle. I am doing so different things and most of them are cardio fat burn with the lifting still incorporated. I am learning how to lose weight. All of my life the only thing I've struggled with is trying to gain weight back if I lost some. I know it sounds strange but it is as hard as losing weight for people with the weight problem. One day at a time is all I can do I guess.
Just got back from the grocery store and got lots of fresh veggies and fruit.

ok it appears I am going to have to really take a look at my eating habits. I have always eaten healthy for the most part in the last 10 years or so. Today I wrote out what I've eaten so far (it's 2PM now) and two of the girls here at work are astounded that I have eaten this much. I have carried #135-140 on my 5'8 1/2" frame forever eating this way. Apparently it doesn't work when you ain't smokin!! LOL
Today diet so far
1 Banana and 1/4 cup almonds
3/4 cup vanilla fat free yogurt with 1/4 cup oatmeal and strawberry's in it.
1 PB&J
1 cup pretzels
1 salad with a small amount of ranch dressing and a glass of iced tea.
This is normal for me and now it's way too much.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
See the problem is I don't do a dab of anything, I use a big spoon and dig in 3 or 4 times. I still only have the 8 lbs though, so I guess the exercise is keeping it at bay.

I really am not stressed very often at all, but had a family deal that was really horrible for me and ended up on an emotional hangover for a full day. I am constantly remodeling something in my home and I read and spend time with friends and family. My stress levels are really very good but this one got me and then got me to thinking what I was doing with my eating yesterday and what it was was me eating instead of smoking.
