The Incredible Shrinking Woman

...Ha! I wish!...

Well, okay... so last week when we were informed that we had been chosen as contestants we were asked to send in pictures of our scales by a certain time at night... For some reason my email did not want to receive that message so I got it just before the deadline. After I had already drank like a million bottles of water and had dinner.... not the best time to weigh ones self... but I had to, and the scale read 183.6 pounds... holy mama!

So this weekend I was actually able to see my scale read 176 pounds! That is a huge loss in one week! The weight I sent to W,L or B was my Sunday morning weight which crept back up to 177.4 pounds... but still an over all loss of 6.2 pounds!

Seems like A LOT... like too much a lot... well, I am not going to lie... it was probably mostly a water weight loss... and maybe 3-4 pounds of fat... Also, I switched up my diet pretty good to the point where I mostly only eat Apples (see previous post), grapefruits,oranges, strawberries, salads and lean meat... i drink A LOT of water and throw in some ice tea (no sweetener) and diet soda... I cut out non-produce carbs entirely (for now) which my body is not use to... So yea, this week was a pretty big loss... my body doesn't work like Nikki's apparently, where shaking things up has you start out with a gain, {BTW get over there and show Nikki some love! She is a great girl and I KNOW she can do this!} ... I tend to start big and slowly lose my speed...

I have a feeling that 178lbs to 174lbs is going to be a tough battle! My plan for moving forward is to add *some* sort of exercise... I cant decide if it is going to be Jillian... or the Gym... Cast Your Vote Now!

But I did say earlier that I would post measurements... seems like quite the thing to do for this challenge... I am not shy about it so what's the hold up already?!?

I am actually really glad that I took measurements back in April... That is when I decided to really get my weight under control... at the end of April I was sent to Texas and staying with my diet was tough... I did not gain any weight during that month long trip, but I didn't really get to lose any either... so now I am back on track to tackle my weight!

I am going to have to stop into Victoria Secret to double check my boob measurements... I have a hard time believing I might have lost that much... that would be a bra size for sure! I tend to lose weight from my waist the quickest... my hips just don't like to let go of the cushion!!

My wonderful [very sick - in recovery , Thank You!] boyfriend said to me this weekend:

"You're like a glacier... Slowly melting away... You don't notice your body changing every day, but after a while you really can tell..."

Good Luck to all my readers this week! I hope we can all stay on track to meet our goals... whatever they may be!
