Yesterday was my first week assessment. Looking in the mirror, nothing seemed to have changed. My “fat” pants seemed to fit better but was it all in my head? I was a bit afraid to step on that scale but at the same time, I wanted desperately to have a good start. So, start off wieght was officially 151.6 lbs (my scale rounds to the nearest 0.2lb). Monday morning, 7 days after following my mish-mash of the No S diet and the Leptine Diet, I weighed 148.2. I lost an astonishing 3.4lbs! I don’t even know how that happened. Other than those evening cravings, it was all relatively easy. I didn’t even exercise as often as I wanted to (I did a lot of vigorous cleaning though. That counts right 
).
The next test was measurements. I gained one centimeter in the bust but since I am nursing my youngest, this measurement is probably more related to the last time I nursed him rather than how much weight I lost. I lost 1.5 cm off the waist, 1 cm off the hips and 1 cm off the thighs.
I am also taking weekly pictures. I have to admit this is the hardest thing so far. I can barely look at the pictures once I have taken them. Why do photographs look so much worse than the real thing? In any case, this week’s photo was as scary as the last so I won’t be using that to motivate me just yet. I might (this is a big big big might) reveal the before and after pictures once I get to my goal, but honestly, I don’t know if my ego is capable of handling revealing myself at my physical worst. Telling you my starting weight is hard enough!
I have to run now. My youngest son who developed an ear infection yesterday needs me. I have been getting lots of extra cuddles–the only good thing that comes out of having a sick child.
So ladies (and gentlemen)–stay on course. Good things apparently happen to those who do!
