Shrinkvivor: Weigh in #8 (Finale)
Today is the last weigh-in for Shrinkvivor. Well, actually I’m not even sure it’s a weigh-in but I’m weighing in anyway!
This was my last week on Exile Island and I think I did pretty good over all. I struggled this week because of eating out twice and all the candy. Plus, it was that time of the month so my chocolate craving was pretty much a must have. Oh, and then we covered sexual reproduction in Patho this week and I found out that chocolate should actually be avoid during your monthly visitor because it makes all your symptoms worse. Go figure.
So it’s pretty much a miracle that I lost this week, but I will so take it and move on to a better week.
This Week: 142.6 lbs
Last Week: 143.8 lbs
Challenge Total Loss: 5 lbs
Total Weigh Loss since August ’10: 11.4 lbs
Measurement changes for the challenge:
Waist: 31 inches down to 28 (3 inches total)
Hips: 39 inches down to 36 (3 inches total)
Chest: 30 inches down to 28 (2 inches total)
Thigh: 21.5 inches down to 20 (1.5 inches total)
In a non-scale victory, I totally tried on jeans and now own to size 6 petites! Oh and get this, those size 6s are loose. In a few more weeks I might very well be down to a 4P. :D
I remarked this morning (to Gray) that I had not seen this number since back in June, before we went on the family vacation full of crap food and alcohol. If anything, I’m realizing that I need to treat a vacation like I would any of the week. A splurge now and then is OK, but a full week of crappy eating will gain you five or more pounds and that is not OK. I’m hoping to be in the 130s by Thanksgiving and I refuse to give in to unnecessary desserts or extra helpings. In fact, I usually enjoy big meals like Thanksgiving and Christmas because I have so much variety that I can get a little of everything. Let’s hope I can keep up that stamina. I’m not sure what I’m going to do meal wise for Thanksgiving because of the gluten-free deal. I might just have to take my chances. The few times I have cheated I’ve still felt sick to my stomach, but it hasn’t been too awful.
So how was your week? Hop on the scale and leave me a note.
