No I'm not 16 years old I'm in a size 16 from a 22 wow what a difference too. All last week I was pulling a tugging on my work pants. I was having to fold them over because even my belt wouldn't keep them up. But I have to say I do feel a lot younger. I used to complain every day how horrible I felt and I just couldn't get feeling better. Let me tell ya when you feel bad your attitude stinks! I couldn't see God's blessing in my life because I just felt so horrible. Today I have cried but tears of joy for how awesome I am doing on this diet. My will power is strong because He gives me strength. So as you know my starting weight was 256 lbs today I weigh in at 234 lbs. 22 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In less than a month. If I keep this pace up I will meet my goal weight of 150 lbs by April!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO birthday cake!!!! :)
Of course one of the things I am concerned with is the holidays I mean hello FOOD is everywhere. Food I can't eat I should say. Because remember I can't have carbs, sugar, fat, or calories. Which means no dressing no deviled eggs unless I change the recipe. No yams, no squash, or dessert no bread no potatoes of any shape or kind. This is going to be difficult because I love Pumpkin and I can't have any. :/ Will power Chris says I should just make my own dinner and bring it with me. Because I can't risk accidently getting sugar. If I eat anything that isn't on my plan I will have to start all over from the beginning. I am in Ketosis and want to stay in Ketosis so my body uses it's fat as energy and burns all this extra off me. It's working I feel great and I want to continue to feel great.
I have to say that after this is all over and done with it I can't see going back to eating bread. I highly believe it was the cause of my issues. I craved it and all it did was make me feel worse. My skin has cleared up because I am not eating fried food. I bake everything or broil it with olive oil. I really think about everything I put into my body now. We all should. This is just the beginning of this diet and I won't be on this diet forever but I am learning which foods to pick. I am also learning which exercises are most benefical to me.
Every week Jennifer my nutritionist measures me too. I am down over 6 inches in my waist 2 this week a total of 1 inch in my arms. 3 inches in my thighs. Luckily my chest I haven't lost any inches I don't see my boobs going anywhere anytime soon. I call them the family curse but don't think for one second I am not working on making them smaller. I have been doing chest presses and working my arms and it shows. Truely I am amazed at the results and how fast they are coming. I realize soon I will go thru a plateau and that's why I have Jennifer she is my rock. Anytime I feel uncertain about anything or just need encouragement she is there. So to end this entry into my blog I want to thank everyone who has been an encouragement too me and as always to give God the glory. Love ya'll!!!!!!!!!!!!!
