Overdue Weight Update
When I got measured in May I was told that since January I had lost 6lbs and 11.5 inches. Since then I think I have lost even more weight. I have definitely lost weight in the upper body. You can see ribs...not unhealthily but I have never been able to see mine so that is a bit weird. My bra's are big. My back is getting more and more muscular so I have this definite triangle thing going on. I really dont see my upper body losing more weight as my waist up is as small as it can really get I think. I do hope to tone it up more...my arms are resisting ALL efforts. When I flex you can see it but there is no definition when my arm is relaxed and I really dont want to have to do the strong man pose just so my arms dont look fat in pictures. My lower half has definitely thinned out. From my belly button to my back is definitely smaller. Now I need to just get less wide from hip to hip. Definition is somewhat there. From mid thigh down I am doing great. It is the pesky area of mid thigh to top of hip that is resisting ALL efforts. My stomach over all is getting there. I do have that line down the sides which is apparent in photos but it is still resisting all other efforts of toning up. The part of the tummy between the lines is still flabby. My pants and shirts are either big or just fitting. My VS t shirts fit again and are on their way to being two big depending on which shirt it is. My uniform shirt is huge and my work pants are huge. I really need to go replace them. The black pant's crotch area is hanging mid thigh. Someone could pants me REAL easy. They cant pants me in the khaki pants but they are just as baggy every where else. Even my shoes are getting big. I get measured in about 8 days so we will see what that update will be. Oh and I have collar bones :)
Here are the pictures:
Part of me is afraid I wont get any further then this though. The season has started and for the past two weeks I have worked over 50 hours.I dont see any real stop until maybe September. This has hindered my ability to go to Curves. So far I have only been able to go to Curves 3 days instead of 5 and 2 of those days are at my alternate Curves so it is not as much of a work out. However because we are so busy eating gets pushed to the side so maybe eating less will help at least keep me where I am. Yesterday I didnt eat near enough and had to work extra hours which I wasnt at all prepared for. I was too busy to drink my coffee so I worked the whole shift on nothing. I was able to eat my 4 ounce container of cereal at 8am and a coworker gave me her banana when she got her lunch break at about 1. I tried to eat my 4 ounces of yogurt and 4 ounces of cottage cheese (yes mom I am eating that now...not enjoying it one bit but eating it) in peace but the phone rang and my manager thought I should be the one to answer it and that was it for food until I got home and had to make dinner. I wish I had a treadmill so that on days I had to skip Curves I could just jump on that and get a workout there but those cost a lot. Fortunately Curves is only 35 dollars a month...if it were more expensive I would be more upset about not going as much and getting my money's worth out of it. We shall see how the summer goes. I really dont eat junk food ..never did a lot but cut out 99.9% of it since the work outs started and now it will be 100% since I dont have nearly enough work outs to make it feel worth eating anything bad. Hopefully keeping up with the diet portion will continue to help even though I may end up going to curves less often.
