That does not mean I won't be doing cardio. Of course, I will Turbo, probably on Tuesdays. Saturdays, I will run tabata sprints and do yoga. I'm not sure what to do on Thursdays. Sundays will be rest days, as usual. Maybe I will just take Thursdays off and walk or play on the Wii.
Then there is the dreaded diet. I have had a rough year so far. I make the worst food decisions. I know I need to eat less and make better choices. I'm not going to commit to anything specific here, other than sticking with Weight Watchers Simply Filling Technique. For my sanity, I cannot go back to counting points or calories. I still measure my food, to keep my portions down. But shoot, I don't know how it will all turn out. I know I'm not losing weight because of my diet. I wish eating right were as easy as working out. Hell, I had an easier time quitting smoking cold turkey. I don't know what I have to do to get into the right place with my nutrition. I work too damn hard to keep sabotaging myself, and yet that is exactly what I do. I deserve better. I'm half wondering if I should take pictures of everything I eat. Not to post online, but just to give me a visual. And, like tracking calories (weighing food, entering it all in), when something is a pain in the butt, I tend to not eat things just so I don't have to do all the work related to it. But I probably won't do that. Probably the best thing to do is plan my meals head of time, so I already know how many calories and all that jazz I'm getting. I still have all the meal plan stuff that goes with Insanity. There's no reason not to follow it - it can all fit very easily into SFT.
As far as weight goes, I have decided not to use the scale any longer. I am going to use a tape measure and my Accu-Measure body fat calipers ONLY on my abdomen. That is the only area I care about. I will take measurements there every Monday morning, and enter my numbers on my NROL4W spreadsheet, on the schedule page. I'm tired of being a slave to the scale, even once a week. I don't care how much I weigh, as long as I get smaller.

Diet kills my weight-loss too! Good luck with NROLFW :)
I could never not weigh myself. Kudos to you!
Do you ingest much artifical sweetners? I think we've all come to the conclusion that that what set me off on my last binge. It's not always what does it but it was this time.
I am a Splenda addict. That is why I've given up coffee. But I have always been like that with Splenda, even when I don't binge. I think it does stall me though so that is why I've cut it out, for the most part.
I wonder if you did a little experiment and say cut out AS for like a whole month (work up to it if you have to) and see how it effects your moods, hunger-level and feeling of control. And then maybe add it back in and see what happens.
Personally, I know better (hehe) I know that diet soda and stuff like that will set me off. It actually causes me to be MORE hungry, crave sugar and have less self-control.
I know that even if I never have AS again, I'll still have binges. But I guess I didn't realize how much it really had a hold on me until this last week. That was my worst binge in a lot time. Even when I've had a mini-binge or eating something I had tried not to, I've been able to myself under control somewhat quickly. Last week was a train wreck.
I'd have to cut out artificial and real sugar. I would love to be able to do that. I am cutting back. I rarely drink pop any more and I haven't had more than 3 cups of coffee in the last 2 weeks. I pretty much only drink water. But I still want shit like crazy. I made some diet soda cupcakes for DH's birthday (f'ing delicious!!) and I swear I could eat them all. I counted the points for the ones I did eat but I can tell already that these are not something I will be able to make often. I don't want to never have these things. If I wanted to live like that, I'd go back to Atkins. But I don't want to live without certain foods. I do have to learn to recognize how they trigger me and learn to be satisfied with just one.
