WEIGH IN DAY AND THE BEGINNING OF MY FOURTH 17 DAY CYCLE!
Whoo Hooo! Feeling good despite all that has happened. I have made it trhough three full cycles or 51 days of a healthy eating plan. I have had some back slides, but I kept going and I am still have struggles, but I am holding it together. I will continue this fight.
DRUM ROLL PLEASE.........
I climbed upon that little scale and had no doubt that it was correct. I had gained ONE pound! So, I am one pound up, but after measuring myself, I found out that I LOST 3-3/4" total!! So, not as bad as it could have been. All in all, I ain't mad about it. I had me one heck of a rough cycle, and I am still fighting urges to give in. OVERALL TOTAL = Weight loss of 34 pounds and inches down 11+ (BECAUSE i DID NOT MEASURE MYSELF AT THE BEGINING)
I feel like I am at a plateau, and I have only just begun and have SO much more to lose still. It isn't supposed to happen this soon, with so little lost in respect to the goal.
I feel cheated. My falls from grace aside, I have dropped my daily caloric intake from somewhere between 3000 to 5000 calories a day to well under 1200 per day! That alone should have this weight moving off of me. It gets frustrating and this reason more than any other reason is why fat people give up trying. It feels like no progress is being made. That is why I am so glad I am taking my measurements too. At least I know things are moving and shifting in the right direction - even when the scale doesn't show it.
I shall press on! I shall prevail - sooner or later Probably more later than I care to think about). I was ever so hopeful of being able to lose at least 10 pounds per cycle because that would put me 100 pounds down in a very short amount of time. With reality setting in, it may take longer - - - or not? Who knows. Maybe these pirouette victories of inches lost will add up to be the major force behind looking good? We will see. I will go on!
TODAY'S STATS
Green tea = 1 (yikes), water = 5; Fruit = 1 grapefruit; Probiotics = 1 yogurt; Proteins = hamburger, salmon, shrimp; Veggies = asparagus, iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes, garlic, herbs; Friendly Fats = 0; Unfriendly fats = sour cream (regular), breading on shrimp (that I thought was supposed to be grilled scampi) dang it, and A heavenly slice of cheesecake (planned and deserved!)
I forgot to mention that today I went to Hollywood with Diana, Yvette, and Bernadette to see Dancing with the Stars! It was fun - - hot but fun! It was a trip to be there watching it happen before you, but we were in the back row balcony and couldn't barely see anything, so we had to watch the monitors - like being at home watching your little TV - only they did not let us hear the audio. That's right we couldn't hear anything! Yet, they kept telling us to yell and scream for our favorites and to boo the judges! How do you do that when you can't hear? You follow the crowd that's how, because the people sitting near the judges could hear.
I bought a new coffee mug that says Dancing with the Stars on it, and its twice the size of a regular mug, so I am hoping to get more tea down by using it.
Also, after the show, we all went to the Cheesecake Factory at the Grove and had a delicious meal, great service and took pictures. It's always fun to have a girl's day out! Thanks ladies! I enjoyed it - as usual! Let's do something again next month - OK?
