So it was my 29th birthday on Wednesday. I had aimed to lose 5lbs by my birthday and i hit that mark a couple of weeks early. As it's been a super crazy busy week at work and with extra commitments happening after work, I hadn't posted anything about my progress at all - so here it goes.
I weighed in this morning at 191.4 lbs. That is 8.6 loss since i started. My measurements have gone down at least 1cm everywhere, and sometimes 2cm. I fit my current clothes better and my fat pants are falling off me. I've had to retire two pairs of comfy fat cargo pants that I used to adore but now just make me feel gross to put them on. People have noticed a change and been complimenting me (mostly at work) and I'm not sure if it's the weight loss or if because of the weight loss, I feel better about myself and am projecting a good glow instead. hmmm. either way i'll take it!
I haven't been eating great this week. Obviously being a birthday week I'm going to go out more - but still try to make healthy choices. But it has honestly been the Bitchwork week from hell at work and I haven't been able to think about grocery shopping or menu planning - essential things in order for me to stay on top of this lifestyle diet. I have the day off today (after a 6 day week) and can really figure out the next week (another 6 day week). I need to get more vegetables, salsa, beans, chicken, spinach (for my green monsters!), oats, milk, eggs, yoghurt and goodness knows what else. I'll drag my boyfriend along to carry it all home.
One thing in all this craziness is that I am still logging everything (even the bellinis) into my calorie counter. Every day. Every item. Even if I'm making bad choices, I'm still recording it and am accountable to it.
It is getting easier to come up with this stuff as the food choices are becoming second nature to me now.
