*tap* *tap* Is this thing on?



...par for the course with me...

I've been kind of following my plan but not writing things down...

I've been working out but not as consistently as I know I can...

I've been losing weight/inches but not as fast as I want (I want it and I want it NOW!)...

Part of my journey is to work out these issues I have with starting something/getting results/loving my progress/getting lazy and then before I know it I'm back where I started (although in this case I have continued to lose weight...I never NEVER want to see that top number again). This is a pattern for me in all areas of my life and something that I've struggled with as long as I can remember.

Maybe I need a little inspiration to spur me to stay focused...

May 2000 - Honeymoon

Now I "know" that after 3 babies and *cough* 92 lbs gained I may never look like this again. That's okay! Really! I mean it! I'm okay with not looking just like that again...but I would like to get pretty close! :)


don't you just LOVE my loooooong sentences? I do! :)

First Weigh In

Well it is the end of my first week! I feel really good about it. Of course there is much room for improvement but I did what I could and each week will build off the last.

...but now it is time to see if all that work showed up in the numbers so here we go:


Weight: 217 to 211.7
Bust: 43.5 to 42
Waist: 43 to 42.5
Hips: 48 to 47.75
Rt Arm: 14 to 13.5
Rt Th: 28 to 27.5

Lost:

5.3 lbs
1.5" off bust
.5" off waist
.25" off hips
.5" off right arm
.5" off right thigh


still seems strange to me that my thigh measurement is what my waist measurement was when I got married! oh well - that is a number I really look forward to seeing go down - for vanity and my heart's sake. :)

...and then it got interesting...

my brother's 40th birthday party was today and I had a plan...a great plan that would keep me on track... beforehand I counted up what I had requested for dinner and added 2 glasses of wine - it would have kept me within my nutritional goals for the day....

but I caved. The appetizer tray looked amazing and before I knew it I had several of those (pita toasts with hummas, veggies and dip, cucumber/cream cheese/shrimp) and a beer and 2 glasses of wine...at dinner I didn't eat all my meat (probably only 2oz) but I had another couple glasses of wine...got home had a beer. SO MUCH FUN! I'm not going to worry about it. I learned a lot about what I would do different the next time.
