Hit my 20 Lbs. mark today!


Can't believe it, I finally saw my scale hit 144, I didn't think it would happen this week. I've been busy and not getting as much exercise as I'd have liked and ate way to much chocolate this past week. I'm still watching my portions but not being as careful of the stuff I eat.

It was nice today at church 3 people noticed that I looked a lot thinner. It really helps when others notice, some times you start to wonder if you look any different. I know I'm loosing inches even if my weight isn't dropping, I did another measurement yesterday and I have lost 15.75 inches total. Just in my tummy area I've lost 4.75 inches and my waist is down 3 inches. I know I lost inches, cause most of my pants now are way to big for me. I'm still going to wait to go shopping for anything new, I am setting a new goal of losing 6 more lbs.

Yesterday Devonay and I hiked Gooden Ranch, east of Poway, it was an easy hike,about 4.5 miles. Not much for the hill climbing, so we just walked fast! Today Steve and I hike to the top of Bernardo Mt, harder hike, but Steve kept stopping to take pictures so I didn't feel like I was pushing myself. It was beautiful up there. Tons of flowers every where and big puffy clouds in the blue sky, nothing better!

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!
