Wow, it has been a long 9 days without you all! Now I am back on the east coast, back in contact with my precious laptop, and ready to drop off the rest of this weight!
So I will not lie...I was far from perfect this week, however I wasn't nearly as bad as I could have been. Next time I travel I am absolutely purchasing RTDs for the journey...it was a NIGHTMARE trying to stay on time, stay true to program and travel cross country at the same time. Needless to say, it didn't exactly happen.
However, I did the best I could to eat frequent small meals high in protein and didn't just plain binge on anything and everything. I could have done better....a LOT better, but in the old days I would have been much worse so I will take every teensy victory I can get.
Now, I haven't weighed in two weeks. I think I will wait until next week's roll call. I know my pants are very loose, but I just don't want to be discouraged given my inability to stay 100% true to plan this past week. I figure this week my life will have returned to normal and I will be back to being fully compliant and then I won't have a desire to beat myself up next week regardless of what my loss is.
One point of frustration...as of two weeks ago I was down 30 pounds. I went shopping this weekend, hoping to get some new jeans because mine [size 22] are threatening to fall down to my ankles every two seconds. I tried on several pairs of 20s and most were still somewhat too tight in areas. To say I wanted to scream is an understatement...but I bought a couple of pairs of 20s that were drastically reduced in price and figured in the long run it will save me a lot of money. One thing too about this...I guess I am learning that I might actually (underneath it all) have somewhat of an hour glass figure! I am already down two shirt sizes and I know my natural waist is slimmer, but below the belly button where I wear my pants things are not as "small" as I might have imagined...but then my pants are huge through the leg and butt so go figure....this is the part where I admit that I forgot to take measurements back when I started a couple of months ago. I think I will take some now and at least it will give me a rough idea of how much I'm shrinking from here on out.
Anyway...longest post ever. Can you tell how much I missed you all? I hope you have all had a great week and I cannot wait to catch up on everyone successes!
