Phase 2 - Week 1 Revisited - Day 43

I didn't get home tonight until 9:30 pm and had no energy for the workout. I really miss the workouts and I hope I can make time to get to them again soon. I'm starting to fall out of the routine. But I think I am still losing weight. My metabolism has kicked into overdrive and I am once again hungry alot of the time. The last few weeks I was very satisfied with the meal plan and didn't think much about food. But now that we are eating more carbs, I am burning through the calories like crazy and am constantly restraining myself from snacking.

I don't own a scale so I haven't weighed myself since starting on this journey. I didn't even weigh myself the day before I started, but based on previous weigh-ins, I figured 145 lbs was a good estimate. I had the opportunity to weigh myself three days ago and I was presently surprised to see that I am now 139 lbs, including all the muscle I have added.

Although I wish I had, I didn't take any measurements before I started. I know that I have lost inches in lots of places based on the way that my clothes do not fit me anymore. I should have budgeted money to replace the clothes I have "shrunk" out of. It's so great to see such drastic results. A good tailor may be in order.

  2. And the meals are so easy. Not having to cook carbs at dinner time means dinner is ready in 15 minutes with way less clean up. And I never feel bloated or uncomfortable after dinner. It's a lifestyle altering experience.

  3. Yay! You are doing fantastic. I went on vacation somewhere in the middle and have had some trouble getting motivated again.
