Week 28 done and Week 29 continues

Well.....

the weight loss is definitely SLOWING down. I've been battling hormonal stuff for 19 days and that makes it impossible to get an accurate BF reading. I am getting pretty tired of it actually.

Willy Wonka Opening Night 2/14/2014

One good thing is that I've been steady and wearing the same size clothing so at least I've been able to buy things and not have them be too big in a month! That's a positive way of looking at this stall!

The pic to the left is a Squirrel print (yes, you read that right) dress I got from PinUpGirlClothing.com for my opening night of Willy Wonka. I couldn't resist. I mean, how often do you find anything with squirrels on them? For those of you that don't know the story of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, the Veruca Salt scene actually takes place in the 'Nut Room' as opposed to the "Geese That Lay the Golden Egg" room in the 1971 movie. Anyway, I have 6 adorable little girls in my show that play squirrels and this was for them as much as it was for me!

I was super proud to be able to fit into this dress. Six months ago I would have been 4 sizes bigger!



So at my last weigh in I managed to lose the water weight I gained from PMS. I always weigh a little more at my official weigh in since I've managed to eat and drink a lot just prior and it's weighing my clothing too. If I take into consideration all the excess, I have at least 2 extra lbs at the clinic. So I look at my weight as being 151 that particular day.  Not bad! That's 52 lbs!!!!!

I had a long chat with my coach about my goal. I am finally at the point where I'm comfortable so I decided to phase off. I still have to lose 5-7 lbs so that when I start eating regular foods (meaning carbs) I will actually gain that extra weight back so I need to be a little lighter than my actual goal. I think I really need to get into exercise now so that I can build up muscle and keep burning more fat. Now that I have my food intake under control I think this will be pretty easy for me to handle. I am planning to go gluten free or mostly GF as well as sugar free and consciously eat less carbs so I can have the occasional binge days to enjoy pasta, rice, potatoes, etc. I don't miss them now so I want to be sure I stay that way. But I do want to enjoy sushi again as well as some good Mexican food now and then.

So....IF all goes according to plan and this cold that I have doesn't screw up my fat burning, I should be done with Phase 1 in 2 weeks. I am really trying to stay 'clean' and avoid fats at all cost (except for the alloted amounts) so we'll see what happens! I'd like to see a 5 lb drop like I've had a few times before but I think I'll be lucky to see 1 or 2 lbs!

Keeping my fingers crossed!!!!
