Almost 10 weeks out - Pics, NSVs
Okay so I know I am terrible about posting now. It's like life is just taking off. I'm a full-time grad student, working and that whole family summer thing! Just know everyone on here has been amazing.
I feel like the last month has been me testing my limits. I am still not eating very many carbs but I stopped tracking and I went from working out 5x/week to about 2. I am fixing that this week. Upped it to 3 then next week I am getting everything on track.
My husband is a food blogger. Guess who his +1 is? I have been going to events but paying strict attention to what I eat. We had a soft opening of an Asian fusion and I had 4 pieces of sushi. I am still not eating sweets, though so I'm really proud of that. I just feel like I was kinda doing whatever and still losing so I pushed it? If that makes sense.
I did have a bad day the other day where I just nibbled on a lot of cheese. It's a total slider it seems. So, I remedied that problem and we're not buying block cheese anymore. Just pre-portioned Babybel.
I have found with the return of my period I am having a lot of water retention and exhaustion during PMS week accompanied by a stall. Pretty frustrating and it makes me munchy. I've also learned if I haven't gotten all my protein in, it's not a good idea scale-wise to drink a 200 calorie protein shake at 8pm. By that time I just call it a loss and try to drink more water.
So these are a few things I've learned.
Hunger has returned. Not nearly as bad but it's coming back.
I am into a size 14/16 now which is great. I need to calculate total inches lost because it's a lot. I was able to buy 3 bras from VS which I loved. It's much easier to haul myself around. I don't feel like I'm struggling to walk. People are finally starting to notice a bit. Not mentioning weight loss specifically but just that "I look good." Libido has been crazy. I don't think hubby and I have ever had this much sex our entire marriage.
Any other questions, just ask! I don't regret any of this. I am very happy with my decision. I don't feel like I am missing out on anything.
Oh and I get now why my Dr. doesn't like snacking because if you are waiting 30 minutes after each time you eat, you'll never fit in all your water!!!
Congrats !!! 
Anyway you look awesome keep up the good work.
