Too much of a good thing?


I lost 4 pounds this week. And I'm not entirely happy about it.

Now, don't get me wrong. I'm happy to read 150.6 on the scale, but that's twice the amount I should have lost! Will is stay off? That is tbd.

This could be my body finally recovering from the 3-Day. Or the fact that I lowered my calorie allowance by 100 this past week (I went from 1300 a day to 1200 a day).

Since I'm not burning thousands of calories on training walks now, I posed that "Are you going to eat less or work out more" question to myself and decided on "eat less."

This could also be one of those weeks when I have a big loss before biology attacks me and I gain or don't lose because I'm a woman. (I can talk in euphemism!)

I'll take the number of course - happily. I would just wish I could feel like it was more permanent. So much of a good thing rarely is, after all.

But maybe it will be! That would be AWESOME!

My Measurements:
Waist: 29 ... overall decrease of 11 inches :-D
Hips: 39 ... overall decrease of 7.5
Thigh: 21 ... overall decrease of 7.5 - no change, though, from last month

Sadly, didn't have time to test my push ups or crunches this morning.
