So, I've been blessed/cursed with not really having anything that makes me dump nor a problem ever with getting in enough food.  It's caused me to not be as stringent as some are forced to be, but for the last two weeks I have done my best to stay within 800-900 calories and get all of my protein in.  Also, I've taken water aerobics classics at least 4-5 times a week.  Wow, did it pay off this morning.  14 lbs in two weeks.  It really, really gives me new dedication to use this tool to its potential.  I am so pumped.  I thought I looked a little baggier (skin-wise! lol) last night, but I didn't want to check till this morning.  Wow, just wow.  Hope and optimism are magical things.  Who'd of thunk it? 

Well, it seems the minute I thought, "Well, maybe I won't have any hair loss afterall...", it started falling out!  I don't know if anyone else can tell yet (I've always had thin hair anyways), but I keep finding hair everywhere!  Alot of new growth already too, so it's not like I'm freaking out.  I know why it is though.  I stopped keeping track every day of my calories and protein intake.  Whether it's the calories or the protein, if I don't track at least Mon-Fri, I end up getting too much and not enough.  All last week (well, most of it), I kept right around 900 calories and got at least 85 of protein.  I'm planning on doing the same this week, so when I weigh next Monday, it better show... OR I will pull the rest of the hair out, LOL.  Also, have been doing water aerobics 5 days a week.  It's not like doing the eliptical, but hey it's waaay more than I used to do.  Still parking far away at work and it's awesome how I can leave the pool on Saturday morning, make 3 stops (including SuperWalmart) and come home with energy to spare.  Starting saying goodbye to some old clothes and listing them on ebay.  Those upper sizes (5X+) really go well.  I listed about 20 items and made $137.  I have more to uncover, buried deep in closets.  Either I find more that I can sell or more that I can now wear.  Win-Win.  :o)
