After a horrible week w/ my TOM, I'm finally starting to feel myself. Jumping on the scale today showed me down 3 lbs bringing my total weight loss to 70lbs!!! What a relief to finally hit this goal! There is officially 20 lbs to go!
Looking back at this month, I would say that my momentum has slowed. I'm going to use this next week to get back to basics. Shakes, cereal, MR's, muffins, water. I will minimize my veggie intake to no more than 2 servings per day.
I believe my veggie eating is leading to more out of the box eating which is adding hidden calories. This is okay for maintenance, but not for weight loss!
I feel confident in my exercise plan. I've been alternating running, walking and biking. I would like to take up yoga to help with my flexibility but that will have to wait until life settles down. I was talking with my oldest son yesterday during our 4 mile walk and mentioned that I would like to eventually do a triathlon in 3 years. I think that's a pretty good long term goal.
While I have not lost a lot of weight this month, I have noticed I'm still shrinking. My waist is 33 inches now and my thighs are a bit smaller. My upper body is pretty slender. My arms, face, chest are lean and there is the beginnings of a six-pack showing. I believe the running is replacing my fat with muscle; I'm not complaining. :-D
