Weigh-In Wednesday

Following the blog link up from Erin and Alex!

Last Weigh In: March 13, 2013 – 174 pounds.

Today’s Weight:174, No change.

Starting Weight: September 19th, 2011 - 205 pounds. Down overall 31 pounds.(35 here I come!)

Operation Baby Making Status (OBM): Not preggers yet. (Not trying until April)

So I am not going to lie, I tried a fad diet two days this week. I tried it once before just before I got married and lost 8 pounds in one week. Seriously. I say fad diet as it obviously wont be a way I would live the rest of my life. It’s a veggie soup for the whole week and Day 1 eat as much fruit and soup as you like. Day 2 all the veggies and soup you can eat. Day 3 all the fruit, veggies and soup you can eat. Etc… So you aren’t to ever “feel” hungry as you are stuffing you face with produce. I thought about giving myself a kick in the pants with it, but lets be frank, I was doing pretty good with my clean eating as it was.

BUT I should add, the first time I tried this diet, I was at my least healthiest, I was not eating healthy nor exercising AT ALL. So my body was probably like “Whoa! Nelly! Where’s the food you usually stuff me with?” This time the results weren’t working as well and my thought is that I have been eating so well lately that my body was like, “Meh, this isn’t much different then you normally eat, but where’s the beef?” (Sorry I had to, but all joking aside my body was like, dude, I need something a bit more substantial, I need protein.)

So I lost .5 pound in 2 days and really this was .5 pounds I had disappear last week. (I am back up that .5 now, bah.) I was ravenous and I wanted real food. I gave up. I am not embarrassed that I gave up on it; I am more embarrassed that I attempted a fad diet to begin with. I am going to continue eating healthy and working out as I was, but not as strict as the soup diet. Cutting out the junk food seems to have helped huge. I have stuck to the no candy, chips, baked goods or deep fried crap every day since Ash Wednesday. Now I just have a week and a half until Easter.

Meh.

Sunday I started the 30-Day Shred for the second time. When I first started the “Shred” it was last April. I did not watch the Biggest Loser but I had stumbled across a weight loss community that was showing off their Shred results. I was sold. I ordered my DVD that day. I started the Shred and I was hooked. Thus starting my love affair with Jillian (This past season of the biggest loser was my first season watching ever, I LOVED every minute of it, Monday night's finale had me in tears, I was so happy for Danni!) NSV: The first time I did the Shred, I lost more inches doing a month of the Shred then I did with three months of going to Curves. NSV:  The first time I did the Shred I had to stop after each little exercise and try to breathe for 5 seconds (sometimes longer), this time around I stopped once for the whole thirty minutes on Sunday and Monday I stopped twice. I am impressed as I can see that means I have increased my endurance, meaning I must be getting stronger and am in better shape. I truly think I am in the best shape I have ever been in. I am not nearly at my goal weight or in the world’s greatest shape by any means, but for me, in the whole history of me, I am in the best shape I have ever been in.

Without sounding cocky, that’s pretty awesome!

NSV:  These jeans I bought back in January, I could do them up but they didn't fit per see.  NOW THEY DO!!!!  Pardon my saggy ladies, I didn't realize until this photo how  low they are hanging now, jeezz, they will be to my knees soon.
