Okay so I haven't recorded my weight in a couple days or journalled. I have been tracking food though and been incredibly busy. I feel like a chicken running around with it's head cut off. lol. So for the last few days I didn't know if my scale was broken, if I was retaining a bunch of water, or what. From 327, my jumped up to 333 the last few days. I have been on my period and was coming off that. And I can tell some hormone changes was going on because my face has broken out the last week or so. -__- Only time I have issues with breakouts. Well last night I got back on the scale before bed and it said 327.5, then this morning I got on and I was down to 321. Woot!! So happy about that. I was starting to become convinced my scale was being screwy.
I've been able to notice a difference in my hands the last 2 days. My fingers aren't as plump as they were. And it's kind of like someone moving all your living room furniture by 2 inches. Not enough to fully notice, but you know something is different. My husband told me yesterday my face was looking thinner too. :) So of course I had to go look for myself and he was right. My chin and jaw line are definitely more defined. Historically, I show weightloss first in my face, followed by a less 'bloaty looking' stomach. lol. Like a balloon with a slow leak. It's still full of air (fat) but the rubber (skin) has a looser look. I'm thinking about taking my body measurements today, it's another great way to see changes, especially when the scale is being screwy. lol.
Exercise wise, I have gotten most of my dancing out of the way this week for my challenge, but haven't been able to get my walking in. We've been busy. lol. I've had to help my husband pack for his trip, grocery shopping, bill paying, cooking, cleaning, scavenger hunting for my husbands stuff he needs for his trip that he didn't put up from the last time. AAaaaarrrrgh. >.< So one way or another I will walk today. I do have a treadmill that has been shoved into my office over the holidays, so we could make room for the Christmas tree. So if nothing else, tonight I will do at least a mile on it. I'd rather go for a walk outside and look for all the signs of spring coming. It's been rather chilly here in Florida lately but sun is warm and walking will keep me warm too. Need to get in 5 miles by Tuesday afternoon.
I'm sleeping better than I have in a while. And having vivid dreams that range from Interesting to Weird, and Disturbing. lol. Probably stress induced, I know they're influenced by things that take my interest during my waking hours too. This morning I woke up remembering my childhood home and how it had looked 25 years ago. Before the tornado, before changes had been made, the idyllic home of my memory where I caught baby chickens, played with little dogs, and ran wild under the oak and pine trees. The setting was familiar, but the 'storyline' of the dream was interesting fantasy. lol
Food intake wise I'm doing well, a little high on fat than I usually go, but over all under 1700 calories each day. Journal wise under 1500 usually. I like to guesstimate an extra 50-100 calories for extra things that I use when cooking, oil, butter, spices, a tich of extra coffee creamer. My fat will probably be higher than I want for a while, because I have sausage and pork in the freezer, and I dislike being wasteful. Only my daughter and I eat it, and I more than my daughter. :P Only downside to that is my body dislikes having to break down all that extra fat.... no gallbladder. Lets just say being stopped up is not a concern of mine. lol.
Overall still have a positive outlook and still working towards a healthier me.
