Week 2 - update
This is my week 2 update.
Weight: 85.5 kg / 188.1 lbs - which means that I've lost: - 1.5 kg / 3.3 lbs last week, & - 3.5 kg / 7.7 lbs altogether. Measurements: - breasts: 103 cm ( lost 0.5 cm / lost 4 cm in 5 weeks) - waist: 85 cm (lost 3 cm in 1 week) - belly button: 98 cm (lost 5.5 cm in 1 week) - hips: 117 cm (lost 1 cm in 1 week) - thigh: 62.5 cm (1.5 cm in 1 week / lost 1.5 cm in 5 weeks) - calf: 40 cm (lost 1 cm in 1 week) According to FitDay, the average carb intake for week 2 was 55 grams of carbs/day; 1352 calories/day. * 15 grams plus of what was my GP/nutritionist's recommendation - must be because I had 3 high carb days this week instead of just 2 (the third day was Sunday), plus the fact that I exercised less than the last week. Average calories spent through exercise per day we 132 calories BMI = 33.1 / 31.8 (down 1.3%) BF% = 31.1% / 29.8% (down 1.3 %) I *love* the progress so far - I'm only 0.5 kg - 1.5 kg above my mini-goal weight. And I think it is optimistic to say that I will reach that weight (84 - 85 kg /184.8 - 187 lbs) *before* my mini-goal due date of August 20th. BUT - I won't be disappointed if I'm not there by then, I'm happy with the way things are going and people are telling me already that I look like I've lost weight. This is my PMS week, so I was a very surprised to see that I lost 5.5 cm in the belly button area in a week - I honestly expected to gain there (I'm always a bit bloated during the PMS/AF weeks)! The second week wasn't difficult food-wise, but it was kind of difficult exercise-wise. I felt rather lazy... which is something I know I have to work on now. I must really try and find a way to think of exercise as something enjoyable, rather than something that has to be done... I am already seeing the benefits - my ankles aren't swollen anymore, my knees don't hurt like that used to and it feels easier to get up from a laying down/kneeling down position... So I guess I should get my motivation to exercise from there. It is really something I have to work on - both mentally and physically. breastfeeding mom of a 9mo, following the balanced low carb WOE Mid July 2004: 195.8 / 188.1 lbs / mini-goal by August 20th: 184.8 to 187 lbs sometime in the (distant) futu 150 lbs |

... I also forgot to mention: the lab results for my thyroid came back, and it turns out the (apparently normal postpartum) thyroid dip has gone away and that my levels are well within the normal range. Yay - I'm so glad I don't have to be medicated :-) Elly |
