Friday will be day 50 and I get to weigh in again soon, but I feel like checking in. Did you see that little phrase there- 'get to'? I am genuinely excited for my next look at the scale and I'm just trucking along with low carb eating. Even though my last two weigh-ins were ho-hum5000, I'm seeing so many signs of weight loss that I know I'll see a drop on Friday. Today I put on a sweater that was body-hugging over the holidays and now is baggy around the stomach. Happy.
Speaking of ho-hum5000, it's a little dead out there in BlogLand. I saw a facebook post from Brooke Not on a Diet that said today is when most people crap out on their New Year's Resolutions. Maybe that has something to do with the lack of posts. Honestly, I think 6-7 weeks is generous- in years past I was lucky to make it to Weight Watcher meeting #3 before deciding to skip a week and never go back. I'm starting to feel in deep-down-full-body-womanly-knowledge way that I will see this low-carb/high-fat year through. I'm still holding four months in my head as an amount of time that will somehow cement my status as a true low-carber but almost two months feels pretty legit.
The only thing I did fuck up royally is the no-drinking-at-all until March promise. January was completely dry, but I've secretly had a couple of drinks (always low or no carb) in the past few weeks. Last night I had my first glass of red wine since December 31st and it was TERRIFIC. I do not plan to pick up the 4-6 times per week habit again, but I've clearly decided to let in some monitored booze. I don't want to slow down my weight-loss and I cannot afford to have lots of high calorie days, so I'm planning on no more than once per week.
In other braggy news, I managed to makeover my living room and kitchen this past weekend while Adam was out of town. The fact that I ran around shopping, lifting heavy items, cleaning, assembling, craigslist-bargaining, and making our apartment awesome INSTEAD of laying around watching El Bachelor is clearly a reflection of how I'm feeling about myself.
See you Friday. Enjoy your week!
Yippee for clothes being loose on you. It's such an amazing feeling! I agree that people stop posting us much around this time. I also noticed a drop in the fall as well but your sticking with it! :) Your doing great and I look forward to your post on Friday. As long as your tracking your booze into your daily calorie count your golden! Thanks for lovely comments on my blog.
