2 month update--down 50lbs.!!!
What a milestone....this is the most weight I have ever lost in my life. I had my 2 month anniversary a few days ago, and I'm feeling great! Took my 2 month pic a little early, I hadn't made it to 50 lbs. yet but you can still see a difference. It's at the bottom of my profile.
Not a lot of things bother me, except dumping on 10+ grams of sugar, which is a good thing! I've been doing well on my protein, keeping track of it on fitday.com and I have been averaging within my daily protein goals for over a month now. I've been staying under 800 calories most of the time as well. Still working on water, I get enough in at least a few days a week, but others can be hard. My pouch went back to baby mode and started cramping with water about a week ago, so i have to take baby sips again.
Finally started using the Bowflex, man I love the aerobic rowing and the upper arm exercises. I'm a little sore, but overall doing well with it. It's turned into monsoon season here lately though, so I haven't been getting out and walking on my lunch break as much. I know when this rainy period ends (it's supposed to last almost 2 weeks total!) it will be very hot outside, but I am dedicated and will bring a change of clothes with me if I have to!
My hubby is doing fine in the desert, he works on computers so I usually get an email from him every day. It's hard being away from each other, but we'll get through it. My son is home for the summer, he's in soccer camp and loving it. He is a little overweight himself (so was I when I was his age) so I know it will do him some good. Plus my healthy eating will inevitably rub off on him, at least while he's here.
Also, I have had to auction off some of my bigger clothing on ebay. I really wish I could afford to donate them, but our budget is very tight and we've had some delays with my husband's deployment pay, so the money I make will ultimately go towards taking my son on one small trip to the beach this summer. All items start under $8, no reserves, sizes 18/20 to 30/32 and a couple pairs of sz 10W shoes. I think it's against the rules to post links like that on OH but my username is meeshaphrenic. If you don't know how to search by user, email me and I'll send you a link.
Anys, just wanted to post a quick update.
