Small Goals: 3-5 lbs a month
minimum
Ultimate GOAL: 155-165 lbs.
NOTE: As of September, I am using a
$50 lithium battery powered digital scale with an accuracy of +/- 0.5
pounds. The measurements are all taken with your standard
seamstress tape measure with an error margin of +/- 0.25 inches. I
figure my BMI with an on-line
calculator from VegSource.
Check-In Notes
- 6-19-98 -- I think I am
retaining water... boobs are sore and I am irritable. I hate this
time of the month!
- 7-5-98 -- More proof that
judging by scale alone is not wise. I weigh more than the
last check-in, but measure less overall. I'm starting to see
the barest hint of muscles beneath the skin... WAHOO!
- 7-31-98 -- Checking in early
because tomorrow (8-1-98) I'll be away at my bridal shower.
I am trying not to feel down about my poor eating this week due to
pre-wedding stress. I've reverted to eating packaged foods,
that are unfortunately high in sodium, and I feel bloated and
nasty. Let's hope I lose the water! For July I
did do some good things -- excercised more, tried to eat better,
saw my size go down to a dress 14, Chic Jeans 16, so I am not
complaining all that much. It just bugs me that on my
check-in day I feel gross. One step at a time...
- 10-1-98 -- Don't know
what I did with my Septmeber notes but here is October --- I was
losing well and regained some over the SIX birthdays I attended
this month. One was my own! I am 23! Then I managed to
lose some of the re-gain and I at least met the minimum goal of 3
lbs gone. The bigger bonus was losing inches --- I got into
size L drawstring pants (before was XL) and I feel the difference
in my other clothes. The sheath I wore to my wedding that I
was excited about just squeezing into now glides right over my
hips without snagging -- whee! I'm psyched for Halloween --
I can do this! I have a pair of size 15 Chic jeans that have
my name on them. That's the next goal.
- 11-1-98 -- Things moved
along well -- pounds-wise I was down again, but I was more
impressed with my inches. The inches lost don't really
reflect what I am most excited about though -- I can see some
definition in my arms! In some places I measure the same or close,
but look more toned! Go me! Go me!
- 12-1-98 -- Doing ok, but
really falling off in excercise. Too tired to write more.
