DAY 140
ok, here i am at day 140, i am down 52lbs total. YAY! This week has been a little hard. Staying OP wasn't the hard part, watching the scale NOT MOVE was the hard part. The 1lb i lost was lost overnight (last night). I know this is normal and like i say, i only believe the scale on Sundays anyway but it still becomes kinda frustrating. I know as long as i hang in there larger numbers will come (as will smaller ones). The only thing that gets me is i have made some changes and i don't know if they are affecting it or not. I have upped my intake of green tea ~more for other health benefits as opposed to weightloss. I dont use any sweetener in it. I have on average 2 sodas per week. Some days i have a bar, some days i don't and the big one is...i have switched my type of BC pill. I have felt bloated all week long and my belly has looked kinda puffy too. I don't know if this is from the new pill or not. But the good thing is, i am small enough to actually see and feel the bloat! YAY! I think this week, I will keep on the same schedule and see if i get the same results. If i do, THEN i will see what can possibly be changed. As far as exercise, i have been getting in about 2 days per week. It's not much but it is about all i have been able to squeeze in for now. *sigh* All in all, i look at the big picture and that big picture looks like a woman who has been motivated enough to lose 52lbs in 20 weeks, reduced her BMI from 35.02 to 27.45, is now considered "overweight" as opposed to "obese" and is only 17lbs above what is considered a "healthy" range. So the bigger picture is lookin pretty good! Have a great week everyone!
