Week 11

Sorry for the late update, I have been waiting ALL week for the moment..the moment that I can finally show you this:

So what...it's just a number right!   NO WAY.  It is the big 5-0!    

I felt like I should do fireworks in the bathroom this morning.  OK, so I did do a little happy dance, some subtle screaming, and maybe shed a tiny tear, but I am SO happy!   I am happy to see that  7 as well!  Not bad for my not losing week.  Momentum for next week.   I measured too and the total lost is 24.5 inches!!!   12 of those from 3 places in the midsection alone.  This girls is not 5 FEET in diameter anymore!

If the first 50 feels this good, I really can't imagine what the next 50 will feel like!   Although I am making permanent changes instead of being on a "diet", I feel like there are a few tweaks that I can make.

1. Get more protein.  I usually make my 60 grams a day, but really, for my size, I should be at 80.  An extra Nectar drink at night can't hurt.  I have one in the morning already.  Maybe it is time to try some new flavors again.

2.  The E word.   MUST EXERCISE!   I don't think I need to say too much more.  Find something,do it, and be done.

3.  Track food intake.   This is something I should be doing anyway, and it is not fun, but I don't want to slip into the mindset that I can mentally track everything.   I was even toying with the idea of writing a little something here every day just for accountability with a weekly recap.

My goal was to lose 75 pounds before I see my GYN Nov 10.  I have been seeing him for 10 years and always whine about not being able to lose weight.  I want to shock him!   100 pounds by Christmas might even be in my cards for the future.  Pictures with me in them?  YES PLEASE!

Thanks for reading and sharing this milestone with me!
