I have been so flakey for the longest time now with my blog and my food diary. Perhaps this in part explains why I haven't been losing like I used to. In all honesty I got bored with it and started to think of everything else that I could be doing instead of blogging or writing down what I'm eating. Shall I kick myself in the ass now or later?
Now that work is starting to even out a touch more, perhaps I'll be able to kick it into high gear again. Lately at the gym I starting do more strength training. I had lost around 5 the two weeks before last but last week I was up 1.5. S'ok...it'll come off.
Another thing that I've been ignoring...measurements. The last time I had done that was around the first of November. Thankfully though Avis was willing to do that for me the other day while I was at her house. I have lost two inches around my bust, an inch of the thighs and between 1/2 and 1/4 from everything else pretty much. This once again illustrates how important it is for people to not only pay attention to the numbers on the scales but also what our clothes and measurements are telling us.
Is anyone else excited about winter almost being over and warmer weather on the horizon? That is also putting a little more kick in my step. There is a tank top I had bought the year before last and yes it now fits but it would fit better by summer.
Shrink please, shrink.
As for my body, there are things that I still see as....upsetting BUT perhaps not losing loads of weight the last few months has given my stomach a little more time to understand where it should be going...it's a touch more in the right direction. Anyone else that has ever been heavier knows the issues with stretch marks...before if I pressed the side of my stomach towards each other the deep marks from where my skin had given up was a tad grotesque. Now though there is far less of that. I'm also noticing that while it is winter my skin feels smoother in this area than before.
The new problem area is the sides of my knees..I've been losing more off of this area it seems than I had before. Skin is a tad lose and I notice it but if my stomach can start to forgive me I am sure that the knees will try as well. The arms have somewhat...
I am no longer a sphere, looky here.
