Rear view March 19

Saturday March 19.

Week in the rear view. I would say I stuck to the diet with 98% accuracy. The program was more lik 90% but that's just because I had to slack on a couple of the supplements due to...err....digestive disruption. 

I ended up 3 lbs lighter but my measurements remained exactly the same. This means I'm either losing in places I didn't measure or I'm not measuring the exact same spots. I lean toward the latter because on Friday my pants fell off.

Saturday morning I got up thinking it was a fluke and put them back on....same thing. Sloppy. Measured again. No change. I'm perplexed. Light bulb moment when I realize they've just stretched out and need to be washed. Ah! So disappointed. I dug in the closet and pulled out a pair I stopped wearing because they were too tight in the thighs and butt.  They slide over my hips with ease. Buttoned. Squat. Yep. They are definitely loose. 

I got nuthin.

My face is thinner. The most noticeable change though is in my attitude. According to my boss, I'm full of Fuck Off. The reason that's important is because that means defeated old lady is gone and Deb is back. 

New normal~

I wake up at about three in the morning with no alarm , go downstairs, drink some water get on the elliptical. I catch up on my Facebook and my news while I sweat for the next hour. Then I jump in the shower, and throw on my clothes, packed my lunch and head out the door. At work I am more interested and more involved. My outlook is hopeful and borderline aggressive when it comes to working things out. This is really important in my line of work. At quitting time I head home and rarely feel the need to eat anything. Usually my last meal of the day is around 3 o'clock or so in the afternoon. 

Evenings are relaxing. I may cook or meal prep for the next day. May chat with family. 

Bed at 7-8 with zero internet after I go to bed. Eyes closed. Fall asleep. Repeat. 

Boring? I don't know. Not for me. It takes all the thinking out of my weight and leaves more energy for other things. 

Total loss so far: 7-8 lbs. (the first 4 were pre diet) 

I have a product update to give but I'm going to wait for a few days to let things settle in my mind. I never like to be impetuous. I will say that I have been moderately pleased with a few aspects of the product and very pleased with others. And because I have never said one word about which product I am taking, I feel perfectly comfortable giving y'all the honest truth.
