VLCD #6
The scale tells the truth, and the truth is 149.9 after a tough day. It's not that I ate what I shouldn't, because I didn't, it's because my schedule to eat was completely off and I was stressed all day. Stress does affect these results I believe. The apple I ate at 1:45 and then the remainder of calories were eaten closer to 7:00. My water intake was way too low. I am actually surprised that I lost anything, I was expecting a small gain to be honest. So, I am not really displeased!
OK, as promised, MEASUREMENTS:
original / today
Chest - 41 / 38
Waist - 34 / 32.5
Tummy - 36 / 34
Hips - 41.75 / 40.5
L Thigh - 23.25 / 23
R Thigh - 23.5 / 23
L Arm - 12 / 12
R Arm - 12 / 12
The smaller chest is most noticeable in the back, not the breast, my bra fits the same except in one notch on the hooks. That is a good thing, my back is a trouble spot!
My waist is a little more hour-glass shaped and that makes me happy.
My stomach is looking flatter, which is really a thrill, that's one of my trouble spots too.
My legs and arms are pretty close to the same but they weren't huge looking to begin with.
I am pleased with the progress over the past week. I have not been hungry until yesterday when I didn't get a normal lunch break. I have not had cravings, just a few temptations that were easy to overcome. If the first week is the hardest, I'm over the hump! Plus with today's reading on the scale, I am officially in a decade I haven't seen in about 3 years. When I went back to college I was 145. All of that sitting and studying contributed to my weight gain. I was stuck at 148 for awhile and I know that in May of 2005 I was hovering at about 152.
I don't think I mentioned it, but last week, when I made the chili, I used the recipe from CC's book, also for the salsa. It was nice to eat something that seemed more normal. I pictured in my mind that I was eating a Wendy's taco salad with out the taco. It was very satisfying! It is nice to have the information and recipes to add variety to this diet right at my fingertips. No searching and struggling. I can't begin to imagine the hours put into this project by her. And to get the idea to do this to begin with. I can't thank you enough CC for this gift to us as "challenged people". Your generosity to us is not unnoticed nor unappreciated. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Yea! Inches!!!
Well, I know we talked on the phone today, but I had a day like your yesterday. We were together ALL day, so no lunch for me. I came home and ate my ONLY meal for the day at 8:30. I had to or I would have only had 150 calories all day! (I had cottage cheese and strawberries just before we left and an apple at the movie.) Anyway - I suspect I'll gain or stagnate when I weigh tomorrow. Oh well. If I hadn't eaten I would have felt sorry for myself until midnight and then cheated. That would be worse! BTW- congratulations on your new sister-in-law! haha
Tracey, thank YOU for the kind words! It is so gratifying to me to see all of you releasing the weight and knowing that you are on your way to a new life, just as I am. My next big milestone will be my halfway point to my goal, and I am hoping to reach it in the next few weeks, so I am excited, too.
Cindy
