Once again.....

So, yep, still a joke when it comes to keeping this blog up and doing what I need to do to ever lose the weight.

Although, I have lost 10 pounds since my last post in the summer.  Haven't really done much to do so.  Other than eating more chicken for lunch than other things.  But admittedly it's chicken fingers so they're still fried and I have fries with them.  Hmmm, weird that I could lose weight eating these at least a couple times a week when I used to eat frozen dinners with a side of fruit just about every day before. 

Anyway, HDT started in November not eating sweets at all and not snacking after dinner.  He still has sugar though such as the creamer in his coffee.  He's just not eating cookies, brownies, cake, etc.  We used to just about every day after dinner have some kind of desert.  But since he quit eating them I in turn had to stop as well.  Well, I didn't have to stop but it wouldn't be nice if I'd eat something sweet in front of him.  Besides it would be good for me to do as well so I did.

I very rarely "snacked" after dinner though so that wasn't anything to worry about with me.  But on his days off he'd stay up till midnight or later and would inevitably end up eating leftovers if there were any or finding some chips or something to snack on.  Now since he doesn't want to eat anything after dinner is done he's actually coming to bed sooner which makes me really happy.

Him staying up so late bugged me to no end.  It wasn't healthy for him to do so. He'd stay up late then he'd sleep late and on the night before he'd have to go to work he'd get very little sleep because he wouldn't be tired when he should be so therefore he'd be up late.  And then start it all over again on his next day off.  And when you work two days on, two days off, three days on, two days off, two days on and three days off then repeat that's a lot of non good sleep that wreaks havoc on your body.  So yeah, he's still staying up a little late but nothing like he had been.  And since we moved any kind of snacking item that we do have, pita chips or the like, upstairs out of sight it's easier for him not to snack even when he does stay up late.

I still eat sweets, I haven't given them up completely.  I just don't do it at home and since I was never a big sweets eater at work or anywhere else anyway I've benefited just from the no eating at home rule.  Since November 16th or so when I quit doing it, he stopped on the 10th, I've lost 4.5 pounds.  I am now down to 185.8 as of this morning.   So that's 4.5 in four weeks, pretty damn good really.

So now I have to start the exercising and that'll help even more.  When I exercise it makes me want to eat better and keep track of my calories.  When I don't exercise I can't seem to care as much. 

So although I haven't been a good weight loser and blogger of said weight loss or gain I'm going to try to be.  Again.  We shall see how it goes.  Again.
