Well it that day again, I stepped on the scale and went ok.. I was down 1.2 pds so that puts me at 3.8 pds of my 50 pd goal at the moment. Would have liked it a to a be a touch more, but anytime it moves down, I am going to be pleased.
So a couple of my readers made a comment last week about measurements or how the cloths fit, so I had Dh measure me out before he headed on his work trip, now the last time I had measured me out was in Feb of this year. I was surprised at the results, I even made him do the one area twice, but here are the results for you.
I have lost 1.5 inches off my left arm, and 2.5 inches off my right arm (boy can you tell which is my dominant hand or what), I lost 4.5 inches off my bust, 1 inch of my waist, and 1 inch off my hips, and 1 inch off my thighs. I will do a once a month measurement to go with my scale.
This week I did make a few bad food choices, and I know it, I will work at making that better this coming week, I did do good at not eating after 8pm and I did better at eating winter sqaush in place of heavier carbs, lots of sqaush instead of rice/pasta.
I got a heck of a workout on the weekend when it came time to do all the sheep feet, what a overall body workout, I have been on full chore duty, which means I have been getting lots of extra hauling, cleaning and walking up and down and around.
Goals for the past week.
■5 wii workouts -No, I have done enough workout on the farm, no formal workouts on the wii this week. However I have done weight workouts, both whole body kettle swings and hand weights and rubber band.
■3 walks – More like seven, I have been walking daily.
■Tummy crunches daily till you feel the burn! -twice, plus the sheep was enough on the abs this week.
■Daily fall cleaning chores on the farm for a extra cleaning workout. – Yes, even if its just a small extra item being done.
■Track my water drinking more and make sure I get my full daily amount -yes
■Add in daily dose of apple cider vinager each day to help flush my system-yes
Coming Goals for the week
- Daily dose of apple cider vinager
- Walk daily
- No eating after 8pm
- Extra fall cleaning.
- Use the extra chores as a workout, example, lift the full buckets up and down as I walk for arm workout, double time on the walks between big barn and little barn or house. Do a extra wheelbarrol load or two from the big barn compost pile to be moved to the garden area’s.
Well, that’s my plan for the week, so how was yours?
Just another Day on the Farm 
First, WOW on the measurements! That is just fabulous!
My week was good, though I did a lot of bad eating. I didn’t sit down and eat an entire chocolate cake or anything, but I definitely didn’t pay very close attention to portions and such. That said, I finally made it to my goal…actually goal plus another .5lb. I think I may shoot for another 2 lbs and then call it quits. At this point, I’m slim but still curvy……….and it’s much easier to conceal-carry with a few curves 🙂
Hi Andrea,
Thanks and congrats again on meeting your goals, being curvy is a good thing, as long as you are happy with where you are at.
I did really well on the not eating cake or anything, as Dh is on a trip, I have not baked at all, not even bread, so I don’t have anything in the house to tempt me, for snacks, I have been having a little bit of heart healthy raw nuts, or fresh apple or sweet roasted carrots or root veggies, and if I am really hungry, I made myself a big pot of homemade baked beans, so I have a one cup bowl of them, and then I stay full for quite a good while after.
Keeping the weight off can be just as much of a challange as losing in its own way, so hope you will continue to share how your week goes with me.. have a great day!
My rule of thumb that really helps: Allow 3 hours after last meal/snack before going to bed. Best way to metabilize that last meal.
Are we actually 5 hours different than you Canadians? I posted a comment at 9:55 am EST in PA/USA, my comment time says it was at 2:55 pm? Interesting!
