Down Another 1/2

I'm down another half pound today. I seem to be slowing down in the actual weight loss department, but it's ok because my body is changing in amazing ways. It's incredible to watch the transformation. I love it.

I know I'm doing it right, because I've been taking my Body Fat Analysis on my little portable Body Fat Analysis machine. On February 22nd I weighed 177 and had 40% body fat. I had 70 1/2 lbs body fat, and 106.5 lbs of lean body mass. Today I took my measurements and I'm 163 lbs, with 35% body fat, 58 lbs of fat and 105 lbs of lean. So I've lost 14 lbs, and only 1.5 of those were of lean tissue. That is exciting to me. I am losing mostly fat. Yay!

This next week and a half will be stressful, but I've committed to stay on program. I am flying to Phoenix with my hubby and son for Easter, to spend some time with my ailing mother. My son and I will stay for the week, returning next week Saturday, and my hubby will fly home this Sunday night. So, I've got a plane ride with my little pumpkin, and his car seat, and his stroller, etc etc. Should be wild. But weight-wise I plan on being under 160 when I return. (Or else very very close to it!)

I've lost 103.5 lbs so far, and still truckin'.

Went to Walmart Supercenter last night, bought a pair of jammypants and shirt. The color I wanted was blue and green striped, and there were only Mediums and XL's left...so I went for the Mediums, which are 8/10's. I got them home and they fit, although a wee bit snug. I'll still wear them, though! I'll just wear a big sweatshirt over them when we are staying at our friend's house. I needed something that was light, and not heavy like my current nightgown. It's too big anyway.

On April 27th I will have been on the program for 9 months. Hopefully I'll be 155. That is my mini-goal for April 27th.

I may have to settle for 1-2 lbs/week loss as I lose more and more. I tend to lose 2 lbs a week anyway, so I actually may have to settle for 1 lbs/week. Lets say 5 lbs/month...at that rate I'll be at my goal in 9 months...that is depressing, I don't think that will happen....I'll settle for 7 lbs/month, or 7 months. That is the end of October, or my birthday, and that is sort of what I expected.

I just won't think about it, and take one day at a time.

Bye for now!
