Hello, hello!! I cannot believe how quickly that went by – wow – 8 weeks. So how did I do? I think I did pretty well…
Weight – start 138 / now 134.6 down 3.4 lbs
Waist – start 28 / now 26.5 down 1.5
low waist – start 31 / now 30 – down 1
hips – start 38 / now 37 – down 1 inch
Thighs – start 23 / now 22 each – 2 inches
Total inches dropped 5.5 !!!
Okay it wasn’t 8 lbs in 8 weeks, but I am back in my reset weight range (130 -135 lbs) !! Woo hoo!! Oh and I’ve been sick for the last 9 days – no working out, yet I was still able to drop weigh proving how important diet is!
So let me ask you this – how is your weight loss going?
Are you planning?
Are you drinking your water?
If you are having trouble it may be time to stop and really take a look at your diet. Are you eating 3 meals and two snacks a day? We need to eat throughout the day to keep our fat burning furnace going – If you don’t eat enough, you can actually stall your weight loss. How are your portion sizes? If you eat more than your body can absorb for fuel, it will be stored as fat. Alcohol – how much are you drinking? As I’ve mentioned before, your body sees alcohol as a poison and will metabolize that first, leaving the “fuel” for your body to be stored as fat. Lastly – how is your carb intake? How much, what kind?
Check out this great food pyramid my friend Rachel sent me. Remember – none of this has to be forever – just until you reach your goal. Find a weight range that feels good to you and try to stay within it – if your weight starts to creep out of that range, STOP – take a look at what you are doing, and adjust it until you are back within that range. Why do I say find a weight range that feels good to you? Because too much of what we think our ideal body type and weight should be is dictated by magazines and TV distorting our body image.
Remember – being consistent and finding out what motivates you is going to get you the best body YOU can have.
