Today was great! I started the day with a rigorous hike down on the south side of Lake Hodges. Devonay and I wanted to hike up San Pasqual Valley, but the trails where closed, habitat restoration still going on since the With Creek fire came through this area. Even on the west side of the freeway, over by the RB Rec Center quite a few of my favorite trails where closed. But we set off on a fast pace and just took any trail that was open. Luckily the trails closest to the lake where open, it was so beautiful. We got to see all kinds of fowl on the water. We walked for 1 hr and 40 minutes, enough to bring up a sweat, but nothing really hard.
Okay! I know you all want to know how I did the first week!! Roll the drums... I'm happy to say the weight is coming off and so are the inches. I know this first week seems like I dropped quite a bit, but that always happens at first. From now on is when it is going to take more will power to keep up the good work.
So here are my stats:
--------Last Week------- This Week
Weight: --- 164---------------- 157 (WooHoo!!!!) that's 7 lbs
Neck --------15----------------- 14.75
Arm --------12.75 ------------- 12.
Breast ----- 41.50-------------- 42.25 (What!, started my period, you know!)
Waist------- 35.---------------- 34.25
Tummy ---- 40.5-------------- 39.
Butt-------- 41.5--------------- 41.5
Thigh------ 23 -----------------22.25
So, as far as inches go I lost a whole 4 inches, I'm not adding back in the breast measurement, cause we know that is just a fluctuation, it'll be gone in a day or so! This is a pretty good beginning, I wasn't expecting to loose so much at first, but hey I'll take anything I can get! I know I'll have to really knuckle down and keep up the will power.
I want to know if any one thinks my eating is a reasonable amount, I feel that I'm eating plenty, I'm not used to eating this much less, but I am quite sure I was over eating before. Speaking of eating here is what I ate today.
Breakfast- string cheese
After walk- apple and a handful of almonds
Lunch- 1 good slice of turkey meat, 1/4 cup cut-up raw veggies,1 hard boiled egg and 1 meringue cookie
Dinner- a good sized hamburger pattie 3/4 cup sliced baked potatoes in olive oil and a large salad.
Dessert- 1/2 homemade gluten free crepe with sauted apples and some whipped cream, yummy!

Tough Beginning! The dreaded photo op!
Okay, first thing first, I had Steve take pictures of me in a tight shirt and shorts. That was hard, it became apparent right away I have been in denial for sometime. It is killing me to have to post them right here for all to see!!!
Next, I weighed myself, ah...umm...yeah... do I have to say? Honesty!! Okay, I weighed in at a whopping 164, ouch! I knew I should never have taken the scale out of my bathroom! But now everyone knows. It's all down hill form here, right?
Then I went and got my sewing measurement tape and started measuring the bod!
Neck -12"
Arms - 12.75
Breast - 41.50
Waist - 35
Tummy - 40.5
Butt - 41.5
Thigh - 23
No wonder I just sort of look like a tube, not much variation in the sizes.
My plan is to work really hard on taking the fat off the areas that don't need it and build up muscles where I do! So, how am I going to do this? First cut out calories, I'm not going to do anything drastic, but those mid-morning snacks and late afternoon snacks have got to be either removed or a better food choice to replace the junk food.
I want to post each day what I ate the day before, it might be a bit of a bore for some of you, but it will allow me to see where I'm cheating and hopefully some of you will join me in this and post your own stats and what your doing to get in shape.
It's 4pm and I'm a bit hungry, this is the hard time of day for me, I like to snack as I prepare dinner, so please when you think of me, send up a little prayer for me!
Till tomorrow, keep the Lord close!
