Current Weight: 140.4 lbs Lost last 4 days: 1.6 lbs
Total Lost: 19.8 lbs
So I couldn't quite make it to 20lbs lost! When I stepped off the scale this morning it read "140.2" then it jumped of to .4 & I always take the last weight it stops at, so unfortunately I am .2lbs shy of reaching 20lbs lost. The more unfortunate part, and to not be too personal, I thought I had had my morning bowel movement, then after I had breakfast I had a much more substantial movement but I had eaten breakfast so my weight was already up like a pound. I probably would have been at 20 lbs lost, but that is okay, something to reach for.
I am really hoping to not teeter around the 140 mark. Last time it took me almost a week to break the 150's, which got discouraging. It is like our mind knows these milestones & plays sick tricks on us. I am not expecting to be there tomorrow, as today is a PP day & historically I have very little weight loss on the days following PP, but I am hoping come Wednesday morning, once I have had a PV day, I can successfully break into the 130's and never look back.
I have to say I have a bit of a love affair with this diet. Over the weekend I got to talk to both my brother & my mother about it, as we all struggle with our weight & hopefully can inspire one of them to jump on board. My family REALLY struggles with self-control, like it could be featured on some kind of case study on self-control. The word "NO" didn't exist, but the word 'more' certainly did, and by the time we were teens our weight had caught up with us (my one athletic brother was a little later in life). They both have taken a notice to my weight loss, and so I think it may inspire them to give it a try.
This diet in my opinion is all about routine. I had struggles at the very beginning because I simply wasn't sure what to do, when to do, etc. But now, I have my everyday life and I know exactly when to eat, and what to eat. For me, I only eat Chicken, Hamburgers & Steak, and Yogurt on my PP days, then the variety is a lot bigger when I bring in a vegetable day. I have said this to everyone, if you like cottage cheese, eggs & fish....this diet would be sooooo easy, like ridiculous amount of choices people. I virtually pick from 4 foods on my PP days...but I get through them knowing vegetables are coming tomorrow.
The best feeling in the world is having your skinny clothes become 'baggy' on you and that is exactly what is happening to me right now. My "skinny" jeans (not literally the skinny at the leg kind..the kind I feel skinny in), are so lose in the ass by the time I am done wearing them for a day. I have lost almost all self-consciousness when I am sitting down. I am not constantly tugging at my shirt, or adjusting things to hide my disgusting lard. This is probably my favourite part of the whole transformation. I have another 15lbs to go, so am going to try and hold off as long as possible on purchasing any form of new clothing, but my dress pant options are becoming quite scarce and once the weather cools down, I am going to need some new options.
I think feeling the way I do is going to be worth every penny of my new wardrobe. Hopefully by Wednesday I can report on a number that involves a 3. Wish me luck!
