Two weeks of Curves down

Mar 28, 2009

I have made it to Curves for three workouts per week and managed to walk 2+ miles on most of the other days.  I had to go to Chicago for a conference last Sunday-Tuesday, that cramped my style.  It also altered my eating and drinking habits.  The rest of the week I felt sluggish from being out of sync.

I had a family dinner at my house on Thursday evening that resulted in lots of leftovers.  I tried a bite of my hashbrown casserole, but it has so much cheese, butter, and sour cream,  it just didn't taste good.  In the past, I could have eaten the whole pan.  The Tollhouse pie was not touched and there is still 3/4 of the "Fat Man's Misery" (a layered chocolate pudding/coolwhip/cream cheese concoction) left over.  I sent the bakery cookies and cupcakes home with the guests of honor.  I don't need any temptations!  My guests were headed home to Florida or they would have gotten all the rest of the leftovers too.  The fried chicken has been made into a huge bowl of chicken salad for this week.  I may have overdone the onion in it, but, besides that, it is tasty.  I wish I knew someone who would enjoy the leftover lasagna. 

I am still monitoring my protein and calories.  Most days I average 90 grams of protein and around 900 calories or less per day.  I know there are days when I am retaining water because my rings are so tight.  I would have never dreamed I could eat so little.  I got a glimpse of myself when getting ready for bed last night; my skin looks like it is experiencing a "waterfall" effect.  You would think I could pass on that side effect since I am losing so slowly!  I just keep telling myself, this is the least you have weighed in twenty years.  It will only get better.  I go for my 3 month check up on Tuesday.  I am going to see if they can help me make an appointment with a nutritionist.

One of my friends treated me to a white jacket in a size 20 last week when I was away from the office.  It is really cute, but the fun part is that it is too big!  It used to take 30 pounds before I went down a size.  I am thinking that perhaps 10 pounds equals a size may be true now.  I had bought a pair of pants in a size 18 on February 26.  They are already baggy! 

My menstrual cycle seems messed up.  December - February were brutaly heavy periods with spotting in between.  For the month of March, I have spotted and never really had a period.  I hope I am experiencing PMS and it starts today!
