I don't know if the calories I consumed during the Christmas weekend haven't hit my weight yet, or I lost a lot of weight since my last weigh in but gained some back during the holiday or that my body was so overcome with the holiday spirit it forgot to absorb any calories at all. Either way I will take this weigh in. I weighed myself this morning at 236.6 lbs. That is a 2.4 lb weight loss since 12/15. Not bad considering any healthy choices, calorie counting, and exercise were left behind at home with the cats while we made our rounds visiting family. The weight loss total is now at 15.4 lbs. No change in measurements but I have noticed a few things:
1. My clothes are fitting better. I'm seeing a little hourglass figure forming. When I put on my jeans this morning, I didn't have to squat to loosen them up a bit (you know what I'm talking about, we all do it at some point). I don't know if these jeans are the usual one's I have to loosen for but for motivational purposes, I'll say that they are. I'm returning a new pair of jeans I bought Monday because when I tried them on again at home they seemed too loose. I don't know why I bought them in the first place. Even the Old Navy jeans (their jeans are the only jeans I have found that fit me well) I bought are a bit loose (but not enough to return). Hopefully that means going down a size soon.
2. While putting make up on in my in-laws guest bath, I noticed in the full length mirror that something looked different. As I stood there for a minute looking at myself at all angles, I figured it out. My boobs looked smaller. It was a Christmas Miracle! No seriously, with boobs like mine. Any tiny reduction in size, is noticable and welcome. This was further supported when I tried on a woven Old Navy shirt and it fit over my boobs. Old Navy knit shirts have been hit or miss with me but I have never been able to fit into the woven shirts.
3. My husband is noticing the weight loss and gave me a "You are doing a great job." He noticed enought that he is going to start working at being healthier. Probably the stereotypical Jan 1st type of thing.
Things are looking positive and things will get easier with Lee counting calories with me. Teamwork!
