Day 22 Update

Today is Monday. A day that we are fasting, so lots and lots of water or herbal tea only until dinner. We had a carb-day yesterday, and I did really good not over doing it. I had 2 pieces of fruit throughout the day (grapefruit and ... grapefruit :-), for lunch I had baked bell pepper with ground organic turkey breast, and then about a 1/2 of a sweet potato, a baby bok choy and an organic chicken breast at dinner time.

Here's how I weighed in and measured today
Weight: 150.5 lbs (-12.5 from the starting weight)
Chest = 38.75" (-2.25)
Waist = 32.5" (-2.5)
Hips 40.5 (1.5)
Thigh 22.75 (-1.75)
Calf 13.75 (-.75)
Arm12 (-1)

The scales are CREAKING and SCRAPING just trying to hold on to 150+ but hopefully by Thursday this week the 150's will be behind me. I remember being 152 in 2005, I also remember being 144 in 2000. I remember this because I had to turn in my weight for snow skiing and one of my friends was around 124 and I was mortified that I was 20 lbs heavier! She called herself a skinny fat girl, though. I just called myself a fat girl. And I wasn't that fat really... When I get under 150 that means when I get on one of those big scales at the doctors office, I get to go one big metal chunky thing to the left - but the little metal chunk that you move over will be all the way towards the right and I'll have to keep that down :-) That reminds me... off to exercise. Gonna take the mutt out for a nice long walk / jog then rev up on some meltdown.

Day 19 I Just Feel Better

Today is Friday day 19 of the Dax Moy 30 in 30 program. I'm about 10.5 lbs under where I started several inches gone (yay). And I just FEEL Better. Here's proof ! I took some pictures of my face when we started this whole thing (and actually a little mortified about posting these because the before pics are not complimentary at ALL) and when you look at the pics I took on 7/7, you can tell how much better I feel. Clearly, I wasn't wanting to take the day 1 pictures, but the mid-way picture I'm much more confident. Interesting....

It's a little hard to see in these pictures 'cuz they're small, but my cheeks and jawline are much better defined now. Chin area looks better too.


We had a "fast" day yesterday and it went well. I started getting really hungry around 3:30, but held out for the dinner around 7:30pm. Today back to low carbs & I really like the low carb days. I feel the most energy on these days and I'm starting to feel how my body is responding to the food intake. Oh well, gotta run for now and take shower #2 for the day :-)
