I weighed in last Saturday, Good News! 220.2! That is 9.4 pounds total loss. I lost 2 pounds last week. I really stuck to it too, so I expected a loss. I would have been really bummed if I did not lose. So I am averaging about 2 pounds per week at this stage, which is about the same I would lose if I was strict on Weight Watchers...probably. Except there is nothing to think about or calculate which is awesome! Also it is good to know that I have a cheat day and that I am not deprived. I suppose on Weight Watchers I wouldn't be deprived either, but I feel like I can cheat more on weight watchers. Knowing myself, I would add a bad thing here and a bad thing there, which in the end just adds up to no loss. Also I think that not eating "white" is a very good for you. Like I said in my last post, the gluten bothers my gut. This last cheat day I really didn't eat much gluten rich foods. I ate some cupcakes which of course have flour in them, but other than that I ate corn tortilla chips, corn tortillas, rice products, potatoes (good old large fries from McDonalds!), and some oatmeal. Sugar is something I really crave and I have mentioned that I love chocolate. Lately I have really wanted peanut butter too. Which I will have maybe a tablespoon full as a snack (the natural stuff...just peanuts) sometimes. I have made what is called Chocolate Delight. It is something I ate on the hCG protocol...YES I have tried EVERYTHING!! It is basically cocoa powder mixed with coconut oil and a little bit of stevia for sweet and frozen. It serves as chocolate for me. I hope it doesn't ruin me this week. We shall see!
Also I have started doing Tim's minimum workout 3 times per week:
20 glute activation raises
30 alternating flying dogs
25 or more 2 handed kettlebell swings (as many as I can do with good form)
I hope this gets me going too. It is so easy and the swings are pretty fun. I will do this for a few weeks then move up and maybe do 2 sets of the above.
How did I measure up? Well:
Start 11/4 This Week 12/12 Loss
Right Left Right Left Right Left
Arm 42.5 40.5 41.5 39.5 1 1
Leg 77 77 74 75 3 2
Waist 97.5 92.5 5
Hips 120 116 4
Total : 454.5 438.5 16 cm
WOO HOO!! That is AWESOME!! I must have had some water weight or puffiness last week. This is so great. So 16 cm equals 6.3 inches of loss! Yay. And a majority of that is in my hips and legs! Double Yay! I guess they have the most inches to lose so they will show more loss, but that is great!
Well as far as my goal of losing 20 pounds by Christmas......well I have 12 days and 10.6 pounds. I don't think it is going to happen, but I am still gonna keep at it!! I am going to set my day off for this Sunday and probably do 2 days off for Christmas...Monday and Tuesday. Hopefully I don't completely ruin myself, but really its Christmas!! I can't be successful and feel bad about myself because of what I eat. And plus its Christmas and I LOVE Christmas and everything that goes with it. Especially the cookies...and you know I just can't resist cookie dough!
My son and I made a gingerbread house Monday. I ate some gingerbread. I am telling the world!!! I just can't resist it. I love to bake and can't resist eating the dough...I guess not such a good combination, but oh well! I will own up to it and know that I will pay the price.
So the plan is to continue the workouts (which are SO easy and fun) and continue the plan. Take a couple days for Christmas and then get back to doing it right! No stress, no feeling bad, just enjoying life!!!
