Thank god it's Friday. Long, long week. Went on a date with this guy last night who seemed so nice, but then just ranted about what an awful person his ex was the whole time. Super classy. Won't be doing that again, lol.
Heading out this weekend to visit friends and go tubing, which should be a ton of fun. Going to pack my own food and drink options since I'm sure nothing else will be close to healthy.
Unrelated, but surprised that the UK voted to leave the EU. Did not expect that to happen. This has a huge impact on my company, since we do extensive business in the UK, particularly in regulated products, which have to comply to standards set by the EU. Currently in the middle of a multi-million dollar project trying to get products to pass the testing required by the EU so we can sell in the UK. Curious to see how this will change things. Only thing I'm sure of is that its going to mean tons and tons more work for me.

Keep on chugging along. Would be doing better if I could keep my focus over the weekend. Will be my target this weekend. I always have the opportunity to make smart choices, I just end up choosing not to.
For example, my coworker just stopped by my office to say there's homemade brownies in the breakroom... Which I will avoid. 100%. That's my commitment today. Had a big breakfast of an egg casserole with tons of veggies and already got my workout in, so not going to step off track. And, might be going out with coworkers tonight, so I need to budget in one beer. Beer is a carb, right? lol
My trainer sent out an email today that really rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe my view is just skewed from having two decades of self-loathing, depression, and eating disorders, but still. His email was about how you need to be "disturbed" with your body to spark change. He recommended looking at thinner pictures of yourself, trying on too-small swimsuits, buy clothes in too-small sizes, etc. Which I found ridiculous. Most fat people (and I don't mean fat as an insult here. It's just a descriptor), myself included, are acutely aware of our bodies. I really, really don't need to encourage further negative thoughts and generate even more hatred to my body to want to change. And if someone WAS comfortable in their skin, yet had the desire to improve their overall health, why in the world would you want to encourage them to develop a hateful relationship with their body?
You don't need to hate yourself to change yourself. Instead, I'm of the firm belief that to make lasting changes, you need to address the negative narrative you have about yourself. How long would you stay friends with someone told you the things you tell yourself?

Losing 0.5 kg a Week
21 June 2016
Switched to tracking my food on MFP so I can more easily track marcros. Upped my protein since I've been feeling super bingey lately, and acted a bit on that this weekend. Feeling much better today. Had a glass of wine with dinner last night. Just one. Which is a pretty huge success for me. Finally learning moderation with alcohol.
Super stressed with work and grad school applications. Just so much going on. Got my performance reviews this week, which went surprisingly well. Due to my weird job shift this year, I had a review from my old boss, my new boss, and my mentor. Way too many uncomfortable meetings. Got a 6% raise, but to be honest I still feel like I'm on the low side for my education level. Hopefully starting grad school will bump that up a bit.
This week's goals: hit protein targets each day, go biking at least 5 days, complete all school applications, keep my sanity.

Chugging along. Have been hitting the gym consistently and cycling most days. I would really, really like to be in the 180's by my cycling trip at the end of July, so that's my new short term goal. 189 by 7/20. Definitely do-able. Just gotta stay focused.

I do not do well when I don’t log my food.

Brb. Gonna go find a chalkboard to write that on until I learn my lesson.
Got into a ‘funk’ again that I’m working on getting out of. Feeling pretty good today, so going to work hard to stick to the plan.
Think I’m fueled by anger though at the moment. Went out with some coworkers last night, and I shared the latest awful message I got from guy (which I don’t even want to get into right now because I’ll get all mad all over again). So one of my coworkers starts defending the guy, and says that if I don’t want to stay single, I need to be more feminine and reserved and way more thin, because since I’m already so big and tall, I’m “threatening” and “masculine”, and biking makes me a “tomboy”, and having a successful career and making a hefty salary is “threatening” because the guy doesn’t feel like I need him for support.
I just can’t even right now.
All I know is I would never want to be with the type of guy he described, lol!
