It has been a rough week. At the risk of sharing TMI, I've had nasty PMS cramps for four days, which is just ridiculous. And I've been starving (always am with PMS), so I've made some poor food choices. Although that churro yesterday was pretty darn good!
Regardless, here's how things looked this morning:
Nov. 20, 2015 vs. Jan. 22, 2016 vs. March 26, 2016 vs. May 6, 2016
Weight*: 200.6... 196.8 (-3.8)... 189.6 (-7.2)... 184.4 (-5.2; -16.2 total)
Bust: 43 inches... same... 42 inches (-1 inch)... 41.5 (-1/2"; -1.5" total)
Waist: 39 inches... 37 inches (-2 inches!)... 35 inches (-2 inches)... 34.5 (-1/2"; -4.5" total)**
Hips: 45 inches... 44.5 (-0.5 inches)... 43 inches (-1.5 inches)... 42 inches (-1"; -3" total)
Thighs: 25.5 inches [each]... same... 25 inches (-0.5 inches)... 24.5 inches (-1/2"; -1" total)
Neck: 14 inches... 13.5 (-0.5 inches)... 13 inches (-0.5 inches)... 12.5 inches (-1/2"; -1.5" total)
Clothing size: 14/16/18... same... 14 solid... 12 (tight)/14 (looser)... Down 2-3 sizes!
*Please note: my highest weight last year was 208, which would make my total loss as of this morning 23.6 pounds!
**I am at last out of the danger zone with my waist measurement! Phew!
So today I am trying really hard to be fully back on track. I had a tasty smoothie for breakfast, packed a healthy mid-morning snack; drank one of my daily six bottles of water, and hope to get in some Iron Yoga this evening. I hurt my knee a couple of weeks ago at a trampoline park, and it felt almost completely better, until I tried to piggyback my 138-pound teenage son yesterday. I find that yoga, especially with 3 pound hand-weights, seems to burn a lot of calories, and is still gentle and slow enough for an ouchie knee. I made a big pot of Thai Soup (from Bob Harper's Skinny Meals, just multiplied everything by 6), so lunch is covered, and tonight I'm making turkey-4 bean chili (I'm having a "high carb" day... sort of, as I'm doing mostly low-carb meals and snacks to help make up for the last few days of debauchery, before weighing in on Sunday).
And tomorrow, I plan to go for a twelve mile bike ride with the husband, if my knee holds up!
So that's where I am, and what I'm up to. Have a great weekend! And here's some weekend inspiration that right now, with the struggles this week, seems pretty appropriate...at least for me!
