regain loss plan, week 4 status update 1/29/17
Jan 23, 2017
Here are my stats for week 4, i will include this week, and overall.
Weight: This week - .6 lbs, overall -13.4lbs (started 323.2, this week 309.8)
Chest This week -1 inch, overall -2.5 inches (started 46.5 inches, now at 44 inches)
Waist This week - 1.5 inches, overall - 6 inches (started 53 inches, now at 47 inches) 6 inches is just awesome,,,,to lose 1.5 inches, but only a half pound loss tells me i'm doing the right thing.
Hips - .5 inches, overall - 3 inches (Started at 60 inches, now at 57)
This week, I had pizza for lunch on Friday as work catered it, and my weakness gave in, and I had 5 slices. AFter work I totally wanted to just keep going and go to taco bell, but I didn't. I have to keep in mind if I do something stupid, to just do it and move on, don't ruin a whole day or week over it, and don't let it sabotage me. I still logged that day and had 2200 calories, but it's just once, not every day, like it was before 1/1 and I came home and got on the elliptical. I'm a lot more active than just 4 weeks ago and can run circles around myself from then. The measurements are really motivating when my weight loss numbers are low like this. I know even on weeks that I won't have any losses in weight or inches, that it will all balance out as long as I do the right things. This is all on me. I'm so happy I decided to do that. I feel like I have so much more energy. My clothes are fitting better and I feel less stressed and even working out is becoming a habit. I say that because even when I feel like doing nothing, I get home from work, change into my workout clothes and hop on the elliptical like it's automatic when my head says to sit down and play on the internet. I'm still having struggles and cravings, but not giving in so much. If I am not consistent, than it's easy to say to heck with it and hang up the journey. But I can't do that. It's not only a pride thing, to follow through my goal, but it's for my health, which is why I had WLS surgery to begin with. It's so easy to get off track. Consistency is key. I wish everyone good luck on your journey!!!! It's hard, but we have to keep going, even if it gets boring. This is why I'm doing this blog. Because we can motivate each other and to be accountable for myself. Is it so bad I had pizza, NO! I just need to know that I can't do it all the time, or even weekly(just 4 weeks ago, my diet consisted of pizza weekly, fast food numerous times a week, and no activity, not to mention sweets because they never bothered me, like milkshakes from burger king, and Qdoba burrito bowls)....so this is only 4 weeks. It feels like forever, but it's only 4 weeks, not long at all. Good luck!!!
