Weigh-in: Week 22, Oh, Wow! Oh, Wow

Posted by: delitaagain In: Weigh-In!!

Down 2.4 pounds, down 58 pounds since top weight, down 39.2 pounds since beginning again last August, 5 months and 8 days ago. That is an average for the last three weeks of 2 pounds per week. And my waist just hit 45″ for the first time in years, down 13 inches! I’m liking this word “down!”

Still haven’t gotten back to exercising, but eating is back completely off wheat and extremely low on sugar/honey (mostly fresh fruit). The main thing I’m doing is trying to eat big protein for breakfast, usually 3-5 eggs plus chicken livers or fish or such, plus a green veggie and a good fat. That makes breakfast the *big* meal of the day, and I do try not to eat heavy late. I’m working on drinking water and have about 4 cups of green tea each day.

Obviously this is working. I’m VERY grateful, but sure do want to get back to exercising. Cannot SAY how exciting this is to be a the low end of the LOW 240ies.

My mind doesn’t grasp this range, but I’m working on it. Is it true that in a week or two I could be in the 230ies??? Wow. I need to meditate on this and get my mind re-adjusted.

“How can you laugh when you know I’m DOWN!?” Takes a new meaning here. Congrats on your losses in lbs and inches! 2 lbs a week sounds great. That’s what I’m shooting for.

Thanks for the comment on my page, it’s always nice and encouraging to realize people do take an interest in what you’re writing. You are doing amazingly well! I know you mentioned that, like me, you’re struggling with the exercise, but you’re clearly committing to staying on plan with food and it’s working very well for you. You should definitely take pride in all of the progress you’ve made and are making.

It’s always so exciting to see the numbers move in the right direction. Just imagine how much you’ll be kicking butt when you are able to incorporate exercise again!!! Keep up the fantastic progress and keep those great questions coming :)
