I am doing a little better with food these last 3 days. I made asian chicken and broccoli with brown rice for dinner. This is actually the first time I have cooked in about 10 days. My dinner was really good - I am pretty confident about my cooking ability, at least when it comes to pleasing myself. I still do like very much eating snacks for dinner, though. I am going to go back to that next week, I have a dinner with my parents tomorrow. I ran 5 miles today, on the track, it was great. I have never run that far before off of the treadmill. I plan on going back again tomorrow and doing it all over again. I also did some abs. So I'm pretty good and pretty on track. I just gotta see that needle on the scale go down. I'm sick and tired of gaining and losing the same 3 pounds!

I have got to stop kidding myself. I keep gaining and losing the same 3 pounds. I am not making any progress. For the most part I am eating 1500 calories a day, and yet the weight is still not coming off. I am exercising like usual - last night I ran 5 miles. My metabolism is stuck. So I have decided to go back down to 1300 calories and see how that goes. That's the RDI that I lost so much weight on. I don't look forward to feeling hungry, which is generally what I do at 1300 calories, but I have to find a way to be able to do it and sustain it. I am sick and tired of having the scale not go down. And I am sick of my belly fat. I am pretty happy with my body except for my stomach. I used to poo poo people who said it's extremely hard to get rid of belly fat. Well, now that I'm 40, it is extremely hard. I am just going to have to ruthlessly cut calories and stick with it. I am prepared to be hungry. I have stayed the same size and I am still comfortably wearing a 10, so that is good. But I want to get more toned and deal with the belly. I am going to have to step up. I am eating a lot of apples lately - like 3 a day. I can't get enough of them. Red Delicious apples - the apple equivalent of iceberg lettuce. I can't help it, I just love apples and I don't seem to get bored eating them. I feel like I am doing what I need to for my diabetes. My A1C is still 5.2, which is totally normal blood sugar, which is rare for a diabetic to be able to do. I just need to attack the belly fat. I can see why I got diabetes. Diabetes does not run in my family. But I have the "apple" shape that is supposed to put you at risk, boy do I have it. The past 2 nights I have had a snack in the middle of the night, which is not good. I just ate some yogurt and pudding, no big whoop. Still, if I didn't do that then my RDI would be better. I have to get back on track, one step at a time.

I am doing pretty well with the food, but I need to get in the gym more. I have to get serious and buckle down if I expect to run a 10k in June. I feel like I can live with 1500 calories a day. I'm not starving, and it's not making me lose superfast, but I have been weighing myself and if I can keep it going for more that 5 days, I actually lose a couple of pounds. I think I can keep at it and start chipping away at the 170's again. Man, I can't wait to weigh 168 pounds - that would be my lowest in about 13 years. I am still on board for this!

I'm doing a lot tonight - I recorded all of my food, went to the gym and ran 4 miles, and now I'm journaling. I had a "dinner" tonight - I had some Dreamfields lo carb spaghetti with meat marinara and zucchini and mushrooms. It was so good. Pasta with marinara is probably one of my all time favorite meals. I have another 3 dinners tupperwared up from this night's cooking. I need to do as well as I can. I have decided to stop weighing myself on the gym scale and just weigh myself at home, every morning. The gym scale is about 5 pounds lighter than my home scale, but my home scale is closer to my doctor's, so I just need to forget about the damn gym scale and just use my own. I still haven't gotten around to getting a snazzy dazzy digital scale for home. I keep gaining and losing the same 3 pounds. I guess that's called "maintenance". I still have hope to lose, I just need to find the will. I am so busy right now and it's so hard for me to get to the gym 5 days a week. Work is piling up and I'm on deadlines and it's hard for me not to have to take home work during the week. I can't wait until it warms up and I can try running outside a little more.

Here I am taking another stab at journalling. I've been pretty good about recording my food lately, better than I have been. I still haven't started recording my exercise yet. I figure the accountability with the food is the most important piece right now. I want to lose weight again very badly. Badly enough to start restricting myself again and letting hidden calories be brought to the light and counted. I haven't lost any significant weight in 5 months. I have lost 3 or 4 pounds, then I've gained 2, 3, and it keeps going back and forth. I haven't gained anything significant, I've maintained my weight, but I really want to get it down. 176 pounds is still overweight by any means, especially on a 5 '4" person like myself. I have started having snacks for dinner, though, and I swear this helps. I don't overeat by having one big meal, and then being hungry later. I stagger my snacks over a couple of hours and eat a little bit when I get hungry. I just think it helps a lot. I only eat a big dinner a couple of times a week, and the rest of the time it's snacking. I had a big chef salad for lunch today, and that was almost like a dinner meal. So I'm having my snacks for dinner, too. Please forgive me if I haven't been posting to your journal lately - it has been such a battle for me to get back fully involved with Fat Secret. Hopefully I can keep on track with food recording, and I will stop in and see some other journals. One thing at a time. Thanks!
