The numbers are in

Here's my results for the week:

The last numbers I took were:
Weight: 163
Waist: 32.25
Hips: 42.5

This week's numbers are:
Weight: 162
Waist: 33
Hips: 42.25

I'm feeling a little bloated, which is probably why my tummy measurements are up instead of down. I'm hoping I can lose about an inch all around by Halloween, but we'll see. I'll just be happy if I continue to maintain, honestly. See you guys next week!

After a month

Here's a quick update, since it's been a month. I have no new results to report. I just recently moved into a new home, so meals haven't been as healthy as they should, but with all the moving boxes and arranging furniture, I haven't gained or lost any weight. I consider myself very fortunate. Anyway, we're all moved in, so I'm getting back into the swing of things, and I'm hoping to start seeing the numbers drop again soon. So, here's to fighting the good fight, eh? We might get sidetracked, but we can always regain ground. See ya next week!

This week

Not much to say this week, just posting new numbers:

Last week's numbers were:
Weight: 163.8
Waist: 32.25
Hips: 42.25

This week's numbers are:
Weight: 163
Waist: 32.25
Hips: 42.5

I wonder if I should add some exercise to get those inches moving along?

Post Family Reunion

Sorry I didn't get this week's results posted sooner. One, I was just too busy with moving, and two, my numbers were skewed from a weekend of family reunion food, so I wasn't sure how to approach my results post. I finally decided to give myself a couple of days to see just how my weekend off really affected my progress. The answer is not at all, because though I was about 4 pounds heavier on Monday, by Wednesday, I was back to the weight I was before I left for the reunion.

Last week's numbers were:
Weight: 164.2
Waist: 32.25
Hips: 42.25

This week's numbers are:
Weight: 163.8
Waist: 32.5
Hips: 42.25

So the moral of the story here is, even if you get off your diet for a day, or two, or three, don't throw in the towel. You might have a small set back, but if you continue fighting the good fight, it'll right itself in the end.

New Numbers

Last week's numbers were:
Weight: 165
Waist: 33
Hips: 42.75

This week's numbers are:
Weight: 164.2
Waist: 32.25
Hips: 42.25

I'm hanging in there. I wanted soda a lot last week. I didn't always give in, so I guess there's something to be said for that. I have a family get-together this weekend, so I'll try not to go too overboard. Wish me luck!

This week's progress

I lost one more pound!

This week's numbers are:
Weight: 165
Waist: 33
Hips: 42.75

Last week's numbers:
Weight: 166.2
Waist: 32 and 5/8
Hips: 43

I'm not sure what's up with the waffling waist measurements. Random bloat, maybe? ::Shrug:: Earlier this week I got an easy 32.5 around the waist, so maybe that's it. My husband says I look thinner, although the numbers really aren't supporting that claim. Maybe he's just trying to make me feel good. It doesn't matter. I like that he's being supportive, and I like that the numbers are slowly working their way down. Slow change is lasting change, as the saying goes. See you next week!

Lesson Learned

I went over my calorie budget today. The little one and I went to Mickie D's this evening so she could get a Happy Meal. We don't do this often, and since I had to run an errand that would take us away from home at dinner time, I figured I'd let her get something she really enjoys. Well, I'd already eaten, so I figured I'd just treat myself to one of their caramel frappe drinks. I thought I'd go a tad over my budget, but I was just getting a small, so it wouldn't be that bad. No biggie.

We had a very nice outing and made it home just in time to not get completely soaked by a thunderstorm. I put the little one to bed, and just out of curiosity, I googled McDonald's nutrition facts. I scrolled and scrolled until I found it - small McCafe Caramel Frappe: 450 calories.

JESUS H. CHRIST ON A BIKE!

AND THAT'S A SMALL!

Moral of the story: Just because you get a small, doesn't mean it's low calorie. Always check the nutrition guide first.
