I've lost 3/4 inch from my waist. :) I didn't think I should bother checking until I'd lost more weight, but apparently the scale isn't where it's all at. These little successes are incredibly motivating!! I took my daughter out for dinner tonight and ordered from the "heart healthy" low calorie/low fat section of the menu - a chicken sandwich. Stupid restaurant only had white bread though. (Clueless?) I was dying for a cheeseburger and french fries, but my daughter helped me stay on track, reminding me how I'd regret it later - esp since I have a b'day party to go to tomorrow, and I need to save some flex points to play it safe there. I told myself to just stop thinking about it, and just force my mouth to order the healthier dinner I find myself doing that often when I'm doing well - I will myself to just order the right thing, even though I'm dying to - and on the verge of - ordering the thing I really want but will regret later. It's a great disciplinary exercise. I must be becoming a stronger person from this, aside from the physical benefits. I LIKE THAT!!
Yesterday I ate 26 pts
No exercise
Today I ate 32.5 pts
Exercise: Insanity Maximum Cardio Blast (-4 pts)
TOTAL: 28.5 pts (w/ 7 flex pts)
LOVE this post! Measurements are WAY better than just going by the scale... as you can see, the scale doesn't account for muscle gain/fat loss.
