I am usually not this lazy with my blog but I think the fact that I haven't had a weigh in to go to made me a little bleh about the whole thing. I don't have a weigh in this week either so I'm doing my best to stay up and focused.
I started week 21 up from Sunday but I finally lost all the excess water today plus a little more. I did some measurements but they're different from what Rochall has at the clinic so I don't get too caught up in them here. I do know that I had a couple of milestones in terms of clothing though so at least I know I'm burning fat and inches even if I don't seem to be losing a lot of weight on the scale!
So today I weighed in at 155.3 and that was .3 down from Sunday. I did a huge 2 pound gain on Monday and I know it was all water/salt related so I had to avoid salt as much as I could. That's hard because I love salty foods now more than ever! Since sugar is kind of not my thing anymore I rely on salt and pepper and herbs/spices a lot more. I know that I'm not over salting foods though, and I just have to remember to avoid pickles, salty cured meats, etc. It took me 2 full days to get rid of the excess water so I really need to watch my intake.
Until I have my next weigh in on the Tanita scale I won't know my actual body fat and that's what will tell me how much further I have to go. My BMI is already at a healthy number but I don't put much credence into that formula. It's all body fat % for me so I still have another week and 2 days before I'll know. Oh well....just have to keep plugging away!
I did have a couple of great non-scale victories and managed to fit into size 6 jeans and pants at Old Navy yesterday! I got into a pair of Size 6 Sweetheart jeans that I almost bought but they were bright green and I didn't think I needed them. I was super excited to be able to buy a pair of gray skin tight Rockstar cords that looked amazing on me on sale for $8.63! That was a coup of epic proportions that my mom would have loved! She was the queen of shopping bargains and I think I really nailed it yesterday! I also got a button down print shirt for $6.24. I got a large, knowing that it WILL shrink. The medium fit perfectly but I know it'll gape right at the bust line if it remotely shrinks which it will since it's 100% cotton and thin cotton at that!
So despite not knowing what my BF is or the actual inches lost from the IP clinic stats I can certainly tell I've lost something since size 6 actually fits me! The 8's that I own feel great though so I'm not moving into 6's on a full time basis. Until I get down to 143-145 I don't think that'll be such a big deal. That's 10 to 12 pounds and that's a typical size so we'll see. Who knows, maybe I'll even fit into a 4 at that point? What an exciting thought!!!!!
