Well, I had some good news at my weigh in which was that I had lost some weight. I had hoped for more but I'm such an over-acheiver so that's typical of me, LOL.
My scale at home is definitely nicer to me than the one at IHC. I will need to remember that the next time I weigh in! It is too, unfortunately that time of the month so I am retaining water which my wonderful coach Rochell said would happen and to not be so hard on myself! I'm trying....really, I am. ;-)
So the good news is that I've lost 9.2 lbs (according to home it was 10.2 lbs. I now see I have to account for a lb.) and 5 1/2 inches! That was definitely cool news! How the heck did I fit into these clothes before? I'm hoping that next week will show a much stronger loss, especially if I'm letting go of the water weight. Rochell also proudly told me I have lost 4 lbs of FAT. I am ecstatic about that! I have a lot of that to lose so just getting rid of 4 lbs of it in 12 days is pretty dang cool! Ultimately, I have to remember it took me years to put on all this weight and I'm going to manage to lose all of this excess fat in less than 5 months if I stick to this plan. That is absolutely amazing and that's the prize I have to keep remembering. This program works fast and efficiently if I am willing to put good foods in my body and avoid all the bad things for a little while. I will be able to enjoy all those things I love again soon enough but in moderation.
I think what's even more exciting is that I'll be able to go to my next physical and hopefully have no signs of diabetes and that my blood pressure will have come down! I haven't told my doctor that I went on IP so it will be fun to let the numbers do the talking!!!
Who knew that I'd be excited about going to see the doctor? LOL!
