4 Weeks

Well, last night was the four week point so it was also a measuring day. First off I weighed and was down another 2 lb! That Gives me a total of 12lb. lost in four weeks, about triple my goal. If I could keep up at that pace I will be at my goal weight before Christmas. The measuring was also encouraging, I had lost half an inch off my waist, 2.25in. off my hips, an inch off my arm and 2 inches off my leg. All very exciting. I'm not seeing a huge change in how my clothes fit yet, but I'm looking forward to that. All, in all I'm feeling pretty good about it all, however it is forced. Being the perfectionist I tend to be, I keep thinking, I could've done better. But as Mike and Amy have both pointed out, they seem to say that slow and steady lasts longer in the long run when it comes to weight loss. I've gotten lazy about my protein intake lately, so I need to pay more attention to that again. I've also been doing more snitching as I cook or feed Parker which is impossible to track the calories of. Pretty much it's cheating. And although you can cheat the calorie counter you cannot cheat the scale.
