Monday Weigh In - Week 2

This week I’ve done amazing!  I’ve worked out (well, twice, but I’m out of shape and was in a ton of pain, so needed to give my body some rest….yes, that’s my excuse).  I’ve eaten so well this week.  Everything has been “clean” for the most part, although I did indulge in the neighbors baked goods (I actually called twice to get some…..how sad is that?).  I had three toffee cookies, three chocolate chip muffins, and added to that a few pieces of licorice (maybe 4) and some pretzel rods (and this was spread out over the week).  I didn’t eat out (and I so wanted some pizza this weekend).  We even had a neighborhood party and I made sure to eat before we left the house so I wouldn’t be tempted to eat all the goodies there (and to my surprise, I ate absolutely nothing there, which is why I called my neighbors to get a “fix” from them).

So, I jumped on the scale today (not expecting anything too big, but after such a great week (compared to normal for me), I thought for sure I would have lost at least two pounds) AND….nothing.  I’m the same.  How frustrating!  All that work this past week, not indulging in the many things I really wanted to indulge in and for nothing…..until I decided to take my measurements (which I’ve heard is always good to do when you are not seeing the results you want on the scale).  The results….I’ve lost 3 inches in my waist, 1.5 inches in my hips, and 1 inch in my chest.  Not too bad.  It’s something and I’ll take it!  I just need to find something to motivate me to continue on this week and hopefully see something on the scale next week (or in the measurements again).  Wish me luck!
