Week 11 – Back At It!

So, last weekend I had my “moment” where I chose to eat off plan and I didn’t even get to enjoy it that much. I felt sick most of the afternoon and evening. I don’t exactly know what caused it, if it was the beer I drank, or just eating foods that weren’t as good [...]

Week 10 – holding steady!

The good news: I lost another 3 pounds this week! The bad news: today was my cheat day and for the first time in 10 weeks I ate what I wanted and I feel like hell. I could really blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol I consumed today, but I didn’t consume nearly enough to warrant [...]

Week 9 – Still Doing Fine!

This morning the scale told me I was down 3.1 pounds this week! (Ok, the scale itself didn’t tell me, but my mad math skillz did). I was REALLY happy with that considering it’s that time of the month and last month I only lost a pound that week. A big part of it, I [...]

Week 8 – Doing great!

This morning marked the end of the 8th week on program and I am officially down thirty pounds! I’m thrilled, of course! With everything going on with buying a house, I haven’t had much time for exercise. I’ve taken a few short walks, but they were very short. I’m kind of kicking myself for not [...]

Week 7 – back at it

I’m pleased to say that even with my consumption of too much alcohol last Saturday, I still managed to lose 1.5 lbs this week, for a total of 27.5 lbs. Drinking the alcohol kicked me out of ketosis and that took about 3 days to get back into. Ketosis helps burn fat, so when you [...]

Week 6 – back on track

100_2355

Week six is in the books and I am super proud to say that today I am officially down 25 pounds!!! That’s 1/3 of the way to my goal, in SIX weeks! Wouldn’t it be awesome if in only 12 more weeks I could be at my goal? I won’t hold my breath, and I’ll [...]

Week 5 – Blah

I won’t complain TOO much since I still did lose ONE (measly) pound, bringing me to a total of 22 pounds lost, but I am a bit frustrated with it. I ate completely right all week long and only lost one pound. But, it’s that time of the month, so I think that could have [...]

Week 4 – keep it up!

Week four is officially in the books today, and I weighed in at 207, making me down 21 lbs. I am comfortably in size 16′s. But you know what? I really don’t feel I look any different. But then again, 21 pounds on someone who started at 228 compared to 21 pounds on someone who [...]
