Friday Update

In one week….

Weight: down 2.6 lbs this week, 23 lbs so far
Neck: down .25″ (this bumps around a one inch range)
Waist: up .5″
Hips: up .25″

2.8 pounds to go on my 6-pound sprint.  I would love to head to Chicago (my upcoming vacation) as a size 18.  It may be a stretch, but Imma gonna try.  Not too worried about the waist and hips gain, as I think this could be measurement error.  It’s pretty difficult to measure yourself consistently, and so long as there is not a 1.5″+ difference, I’m fine seeing these bump around.

I FEEL skinnier, though.  The jeans I’m wearing today were SNUG on New Years Day.  I recall a road drip to San Antonio being incredibly uncomfortable, and at some point, I unbuttoned the top button and folded the band in, and was still uncomfortable.  I know there is some give to jeans, and they can stretch out over time, but these even fit better right out of the wash (when they are their tightest).

I just have to remind myself of my avoidance:

Soda (gave that up January 1st)
Processed food
Canned soup
“Diet” anything
Salt
Sweets
Fatty Food
Fried food
Eating out

Tennis practice last night and tonight, tennis match Saturday afternoon with my new partner Kathleen.  Go team Kick Ace!

Resolution

This year, I resolve to continue to lose weight and inches.  I’ve been making commitments all along, but in 2012, I, Katie, resolve to not drink soda.  Yes, really.  Salt and soda – my two biggest food vices, now gone.

Next up: continue on my 50-lbs-lost by June 1 goal.  That’s about 10 lbs a month for the next 5 months.  It’s certainly a stretch goal, but if you shoot for the moon, and miss, you’ll at least land among the stars.

Happy New Year All!
