Time flies

I can NOT believe it's already picture week again. I had lost two more pounds, for a total of 15, but then had a not-so-good week and gained a pound back. If you want to nit-pick, I gained almost two pounds back. But, since the beginning I've only gone by whole numbers, even when it could have benefitted me for weight loss, so that's what I'm sticking with.

Last week's measurement week didn't provide any change, so here's the current status:
Chest INITIAL: 42.5 CURRENT: 41.5 Tummy INITIAL: 42 CURRENT: 41 Thigh INITIAL: 25 CURRENT: 24

Not a huge difference, but one nonetheless. I'll take anything I can get!

So, now we're taking pictures. I dug out the yoga pants (fortunate since I'm headed to yoga this evening) and white tank top. It's funny how I make sure my clothes are clean for each round of pictures. Hahaha! Ok, first, second, third, fourth; then first and fourth side by side.

Smile!

Another photojournal week! I was out of town last week and was off on my timing--I thought I was taking pictures on the week of the 8th instead of the week of the 15th. I was trying to do it early (like the Saturday before) since I'd be gone. I even took the pics and everything! Then I realized it was actually a measurement week. Oops! Well, the measurements for thighs and hips stayed the same; waist went down an inch. Yay!

So, here we are on the ACTUAL picture day. I have to admit, even though it's nice seeing changes on the scale and tape measure, these photojournal days are my favorite. It just solidifies that I actually am losing weight because I can SEE it. Now, I haven't lost any more weight officially since my last photojournal day, but today is Kermit and since the last one of those I've lost 3 more pounds (down from 171 to 168). I'm doing the same format as last time with them in order of first, second, third and then the first and third side by side.

You may notice that the bed is higher in the third picture. We finally have a bed frame! We're really grown-ups again! Lol

A thousand words

Picture week again! I couldn't weigh-in officially last Friday because of the holiday. But, Ben bought us a scale and I weighed myself Sunday...three more pounds lost, for a total of 13 pounds so far. It seems weird to think I've lost that much. I mean, I can tell with my clothes and stuff, but when I look in the mirror I don't see much difference. I weighed in for work this morning and it only showed 1.5 pounds lost. Oh, well, that's ok. Easter was not nice to my calories.

Anyway, without further ado, here are the pics. I'll do them in order first, second, third and then the first and third side by side.

Please excuse the mess. I was in the middle of sorting laundry.
