I will admit, I experienced some defeat after my last weigh-in post and didn't know how to begin to write about it ... so I just didn't. Which completely defeats the whole purpose of "an all-encompassing, informative log," I know. So, I weighed myself that Monday evening and saw the numbers 156.2. Either I accidentally transposed the numbers in my brain or the scale experienced a momentary glitch, because the next morning I woke up and wanted to again be encouraged by that lovely number -- and I saw 162. That still means I lost 12 lbs in two weeks and it makes more sense with the inches I measured that same evening. Regardless of the fact that I didn't post about it, I didn't let that defeat me. I've kept on going and am happy to share some new numbers again with you today. It's one day shy of exactly two weeks, but ... who's really counting?
05/30/10
Bust: 38.5"
Waist: 32.5"
Stomach: 37.5"
Hips: 41"
Thighs: 23"
Arms: 12"
Weight: 156.2 lbs
Yes, the weight is the exact same as I posted two weeks ago - the weight that was inaccurate for whatever reason I'll never know. So that means I've only lost about 6 lbs in these last two weeks, but I'll take it. Along with the 11.5 inches total lost! I still have yet to incorporate exercise regularly, which I know will help get me going again. And I also had one weekend of living large, throwing low-carb out the window.
Last weekend, John and I celebrated our first anniversary. I cheated all weekend -- and paid for it by the time Sunday rolled around, with the stomach pains back and feeling overall lethargic and disgusting. (The way I used to feel on a weekly basis.) But the food! Oh, the food was delicious. We visited my friend Chef Dean Fearing at his restaurant, Fearing's, at The Ritz-Carlton in Dallas and we ate like kings. It was a truly amazing weekend getaway with my husband that we both needed.
We were both able to 100% surprise one another with our gifts ... it's been a while since that happened for us! John ordered me this amazing Kurt Halsey print - the biggest print of my collection thus far. It's even more amazing in person. I have NO idea how he kept it a secret - he's that kind of gift giver ... The kind that can't contain excitement and must-give-gift-now! But, he held it in. Because he loves me and knows that I want the gift on the appropriate day - not a moment before.
And I got John tickets to see The Beach Boys - the concert is tonight in Shreveport. So, here in just a few short hours, we'll be heading out to see a band that has influenced him musically in the biggest of ways. I know it's not the original group of guys, but I still think it will be a neat experience to share.
I will leave you with another dessert recipe - one that I couldn't survive this diet without. I'll call it a chocolate mousse. You mix 2 T heavy cream to 1 T cocoa powder and one packet of a sugar substitute such as Splenda. This is just one serving but it is so rich and yummy that I couldn't eat the whole serving at once. However, I make up about five servings at a time so it lasts all week, and after lunch I can just grab a spoonful on my way out the door to satisfy my sweet tooth. You can also mix in vanilla extract, coconut extract or instant coffee for a mocha version that is extra delicious and helpful when I need a mid-day boost.
