This chica has been so freaking busy at work that I haven't had a second to update. So, the good news is that I'm still doing good on my diet. Although I have to admit, I'm a little frustrated that my weight loss has started to slow down.
So, drum roll............wait for it...........I weighed in today, and I'm now 197.4 lbs! That is a total of 31.2 pounds lost since I started my weight loss on December 18th! Three months and 31.2 lbs. That's not bad, but it could be better.
The truth? I haven't been exercising like I should be. I have every excuse in the book...I've been working A LOT, I'm tired, the baby has been sick, I've been working at home. But the honest truth is that I'm honestly just tired and haven't felt like it. I'm trying to get recommitted to exercising and I know if I do that I'll jump start the weight loss again. But, I'm soooooooooooo tired! (insert WHINE here!)
However, for the most part, my diet is humming along just fine. I'm so used to drinking the shakes at work that I'm pretty good with it. Some days I get hungry, but most ofo the time, I'm so busy at work that it doesn't even bother me. Or I should say, I'm not hungry enough to cheat.
Everything is going pretty good in general though. I have been able to fit into a couple of pairs of pants that I swore off a few years ago and I LOVE IT! It's almost like having brand new clothes! I actually have five bags of clothes that I took out of my closet that didn't fit anymore because they were too small, so I am excited to dig through them and have new clothes to wear.
And, I know I'm just being a little vain when I say this, but I am really flattered by all the compliments I am getting at work. People are actually telling me that I'm looking skinny! Of course, I'm not really skinny, I still weigh 197 pounds. That's not skinny, actually, I'm still considered obese according to my BMI. F'ing obese! I hate that word!!!
Here are my stats:
Starting Weight:228.6lbs
Current Weight:197.4lbs
Weight Change:-31.2lbs (-13.65%)
Starting BMI:34.76
Current BMI:30.01
BMI Change:-4.75 (-13.67%)
Next Goal: 195 pounds by March 23, 2011
What.....? OK, you should be THRILLED with 30 pounds! It took me a couple years to lose that much! :-) It really started working when I started the Flat Belly Diet. Then I took about a year off with emotional eating and major depression.... Ugh. But, I didn't gain it all back and I'm back in the game. Keep making healthy choices. You are doing GREAT! (But yeah, the exercise does help, even if it's just walking.)
