i got a STAR!

wheeeeeeeee! I am officially 5(.3)% lighter than I was at the end of April. 53% towards my 33 lb goal, or 59% towards 30 (10% starting weight).


I didn't have the greatest week food-wise (I uh, ate an extra week's worth of flex points. oops??) and still lost, so I feel like I cheated, uh, quite a bit. I'm going to definitely curb the flex point consumption this week... or, at least try.

how's everyone else making out??

OH - and for inspiration, check out a friend of a friend's blog - Uncovering Me. It's absolutely amazing... especially this post.. wowza. Oh to be able to do that (kick ass before & after shots) one day...

Oink.

today i had the food day from hell. all self-induced, but still. actually, it's been a really bad food weeek, and i still have 3 days to go :/ I have logged everything, and it's not pretty.

i'm finding i have issues with 'social occassions'. This week I've had a pizza lunch at work, a bbq for j's work today (free food & booze...), went to a movie with a friend, and i make choices that I think are 'ok', and they so turn out not to be.

Ah well. not worth dwelling, right? just gotta be more diligent this weekend...

New Suit

I bought 2 new suits on May 1, in a size 18. Today, I bought a new suit in a size 14!!! :oD I'm so damn happy about it!

That is all. :oD

Thanks to WW & of course a little help & support from my friends, I have lost 14.4 lbs since April 28!!! I'm going for a 30 lb (first) goal, so I'm 48% of the way there. Looks like I just might be able to make it to 30 lbs lost by the end of August. or sooner????

I am starting to feel a little different - the roll bw my boobs & belly is smaller and less bloaty, and I almost feel like I've lost a bit off my hips. Course, maybe that's just a bit off my gut, making my pants fit better, but whatever. And maybe the loss is partially attributed to feeling like HELL this past week, but hey, whatever works :P

The constant counting isn't as annoying as I thought (I heart the online counter that I have bookmarked at home & work), and although it's a struggle every day, it's working.

So to anyone out there who's struggling, keep it up. If I can lose this weight, anyone can :D

well that's one way of looking at things...

As of yesterday morning, I was -12 so far. Of a 30 lb first goal, that's 40% of the way there! wooo! 15 lbs will be 5% total body weight lost, and 1/2 way.. I'm such a numbers gal that 40% complete sounds so much better than 18 lbs to go.

Bootcamp final results

After 106km of biking, 17km of running, and 122 rounds up and down the grandstands, the results are in!

Waist: -2.5 inches
Hips: -2.5 inches
Thighs: -2.0 inches each leg
Chest: -1.25 inches
Arms: -1.0 inch each arm

Total inches lost: 12.25
Body fat percentage lost: 1%

I'm sad it's over! I'm worried that I won't push myself as hard without it.

6 weeks in...

And I"m still at -10.2 lbs, but seriously, the last two weeks have had their share of pitfalls, so I'm just glad I haven't really gained anything. I do feel better now that I'm back on track with WW.

I talked to my dr. last week, and a dr at the clinic, and both are happy with the losses to date. I also had an u/s on the 'thing' on my foot today, so hopefully I'll get some answers about that soon. As in - what the hell is it, and how will they remove it? :P

so that's about it. just a short update here, but hope to be able to report bigger losses soon!
