Day 53

Finally back on track and it feels so good! I went to the gym, ate well, drank water, my first "100%" day in about a week...I can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that I did well! ALSO, kind of big news, as you know I weighed myself the other day and lost 10lbs. That was great and all but I felt like it wasn't really much to lose in 2 months, that I should have maybe lost more? Well just for the hell of it I decided to take my measurements yesterday...Now at the beginning of this whole endeavor, I charted out my measurements (arms, thighs, etc) and this is what I found:

January 8, 2011:

Chest (Not Bust): 43
Right Arm (bicep): 12
Left Arm (bicep): 12
Waist: 39.25
Hips: 39
Right Thigh: 27
Left Thigh: 28
"Bulge" (i named this one myself for the area at the top of my thighs): 47.5

February 27, 2011:

Chest (Not Bust): 40
Right Arm: 11.5
Left Arm: 11.5
Right Thigh: 24
Left Thigh: 25
"Bulge": 44.5

Loss:

Chest: 3 in.
Right & Left arm: .5inch/each
Hips: 35
Right & Left thigh: 3 in/each
Bulge: 3 inches

Total inches lost: 13.5!!!

This is awesome news! Now believe me I'm sure there is room for error, but not so much room that I could make that many mistakes...I could understand being off by anywhere from .5-2 inches but not 3 or more. Just to make sure, I will have my mom measure me tomorrow since she is the one who did it the first time! Glad to see my hard work has paid off...I guess even though I've only lost 10lbs, I've been reshaping my body and probably gaining some muscle, so I am in a really good mood about this :-)

That being said, here is what I ate today:

Breakfast:

NONE! I woke up at noon!

Lunch:

-Trader Joe's frozen enchiladas
*These were really good!

Snack:

-11 espresso pillows
-1 dark chocolate caramel wedge
*Together, these make up one serving...and the above caramel wedge was my last :-(

Dinner:

-My leftover cheesecake factory salad 
*So I checked out what was in it just so I could kind of break it down, and here is what is in the salad: lettuce, black beans, corn, avocado, fried onions, grilled chicken, dressing...so when you break it down the worst thing in the is the dressing and fried onions...and in my case tonight there was only 1 left in the salad since i ate the others the other night!

Snack:

-1 greek yogurt with 1 crunched up trader joe's granola bar mixed in
*hit the spot

Water: 

-2.5 bottles

Exercise:

-Spin Class: 1 hr.

I'm glad I was able to get over the mistakes I made last week...I now have a renewed spirit for taking this all the way :-)
