Day 22

Well, it's been a while since my last post. I didn't want to get too repetitive and honestly, there were some days that were highs and some that were lows. I fluctuated between 141 and 142 the past few days. (Remember, I started at 146.7) I won't lie. I had moments where I just planned to throw up my hands and give up but I promised to stick through it until the end and so I'm proud to say I didn't give up!
As I have been struggling with the scale moving, my advisor set up a meeting with our Diamond, and he had mentioned when he did his challenge, he didn't see anything until about Day 22 or so. Funny, because after a little falling off the wagon Saturday night (not terribly, just corn tortillas, baked chips and guacamole!), I sort of expected a gain this weekend. I went running yesterday, tracked what I ate on the Lost It App, and I'm SO happy to say I woke up to a 2 lb loss this morning!
I can totally see it in my stomach (I was wearing a fitted tank top yesterday and my husband was like, "Wow you have lost a ton of weight!" so the products are working and so am I!)

I know this is a 24 day challenge but I'm not stopping after 24 days. I've learned to make some GOOD food that is good for you, I'm back into working out and I am really starting to like the way I look again. =). I can't wait until Wed. for the final inches tally because I know that is where my big numbers will be.

Today's weight: 140.6
Today's weight on the new body fat measuring digital scale: 139.8 (I really like this one!)
Starting weight: 146.7
Total weight loss: 6.1 lb.

I am taking Thermoplus 30 minutes before each meal and that has tremendously helped me stay on track and give me the extra energy and appetite suppressant I've needed.
I finished Week 1, Day 3 on the Couch to 5 k app and also tracked my food on the Lose It App. I realized the 24 day challenge is a little too many calories for me and that's why I haven't been losing. I should've added one more snack of fruit but didn't have a chance to.

Breakfast: Green Glowing Smoothie: http://www.kimberlysnyder.net/blog/2009/07/11/green-smoothie-recipe/
Lunch: 3 oz shrimp, 1/4 cup bulgur, Avocado, Tomato, Cucumber (yes I measured it!!)
Snack: Rice Cake and 1 tbsp Almond Butter
Dinner: Veggie "Omelette". Had tons of veggies I need to use so I threw together Spinach, Asparagus, Eggs, Egg Whites, bulgur and some Daiya melts.
