Even with screwy days, I still continue to lose!

I ran out of cranberry juice! That is the worst thing to happen on this diet. And Fred Meyers is out of the Knudsens Just Cranberry. So the second best is Pomengranate. It turns out to taste great with blueberrys so my morning Super Smootie is awesome.

The first number is the starting number and the second is the current number.

Bust: 44 40 1/2
Waist: 43 37
Hips: 51 47
Thigh: 28 25 1/2
Calf: 16 3/4 16
Arm: 13 3/4 13
Weight: 202.5 190

Total weight loss is 12.5 pounds and 21 1/2 inches gone. What will my next reward be??

One more week down and more success

This week was tough getting back on track and having my daughter here for a visit. But I didn't give up. I have another secret weapon I'll share here. It is a form of energy work called EFT. You can go to EFT to learn more (go to the Free Get Started Package and download the manual or order the videos) and if you would like to use it with weight loss, try OneMoreBite and sign up for the newsletter. This has helped with the emotional issues of my weight loss. I have a long list of statements I used. Here are a few:

Even though I don't believe I'll ever lose this weight, I deeply and completely accept myself.

Even though I hate my body, I deeply and completely accept myself.

Let me know if this is helpful. I can post the entire list I use. I'm always adding to it as issues pop in my head and I work on them.

The first number is the starting number and the second is the current number.

Thigh: 28 26

Arm: 13 3/4 13 1/2

Total weight loss is 10.5 pounds and 17 1/4 inches gone. My reward for losing 10 pounds is to get a haircut.

End of Phase 1

Today is the end of Phase 1 and so I weighed and measured myself. I was afraid I didn't lose any weight because I was off on Saturday when I went to the LeMans races in Portland. I ate the bun with my chicken sandwich and had a small piece of pizza. But it didn't screw up the whole week. I probably would have lost more but I'm happy with this weeks progress.

The first number is the starting number and the second is the current number.

Bust: 44 42
Waist: 43 39
Hips: 51 49
Thigh: 28 26 3/4
Calf: 16 3/4 15 3/4
Arm: 13 3/4 13
Weight: 202.5 194

Total weight loss is 8.5 pounds and 13 3/4 inches gone. I dropped a pants size in two weeks.

Now I enter Phase 2 which adds friendly carbs. I haven't found anyone who carries the approved bread so I may just have to wait. Not that I'm missing carbs that bad. It is hard to pass the bakery department in the stores I service but I don't have cravings for it. I don't seem to miss candy either. I could probably just survive on P1 most days.

I don't get a lot of support for my dieting since it requires time to get everything together for the next day or to fix something to eat in the morning. I still get offers to eat forbidden foods repeatedly. But I'm doing this for me so I'm not going to let anyone get in the way of my goals.

I got two pairs of shoes for Phase 1 goal. I have been wearing painful shoes everyday for many months. And I'm going to do more for myself than I have in the past. I'm going to indulge in my favorite things like sewing and saving the environment.
