I have made it to the halfway point!! I am so excited to share this with you all! This has not been the easiest 3 weeks, but it has been such a blessing filled experience. I know I couldn't do any of this without God. He has held my hand through it all, and I feel like that first week he carried me. It has been such an experience. While I tire of eating Chicken and Turkey and I miss the non-healthy things, I can not argue with the results.
As of this morning we are at the end of Week 3 and I have lost a total of 25 lbs. I am down to 273.4!!! I am so excited by this, I have never ever lost this much weight in such a short time. And the reason this is happening is because I am following the diet, I am doing what I need to do. I am refusing to give up. Have I had slip ups? Yes..... I have in total over the last 3 weeks.... eaten 5 Cheetos and 3 Fritos. I realize these are small amounts and nothing to freak out about. But after talking to my mom and discussing these are a stumbling block for me.......... the Cheetos have found the trash can. Poor Trenton will have to suffer without his junk food for the time being.
Matt has also been doing so amazing! He has lost weight( Last count I think was 9 lbs) and is running again almost everyday! I am so very proud of him. He is trying to get healthy with me and is doing an amazing job!
So I went in for my next 10 day visit yesterday and am so excited with the results.
My Body Mass index started at 51.1, went to 48.1 and is now 47.1-- I have lost 4 points!
My Body Fat Percentage started 53.4 went to 53.0 and is now 51.9-- lost 1.5%
My Visceral Fat started 18 went to 17 and is now 16-- 2 points!
Also on Wednesday I went for my epidural in my back. I should know by Monday if I am going to need another one, next month. Let me just say not a very fun experience and kind of embarrassing to lay on a table naked butt up in the air and get stabbed in the back. But hey if it works and I can walk Disney World in October bring it on!
This is such a freeing experience. I am feeling so much better and am just so excited about every detail. I will say though the people who love and support me keep saying oh, I see such a difference already, its so hard when you see yourself everyday to really see a difference. But I can tell in my clothes and in my comparison pictures. So now to the pictures.
The purple is from the last 10 day meet up on 7/5/16 and the Gray is from 7/14/16
So until next time! We shall keep chugging along!!!
---- Faith, Love, Pixie Dust, and Me!
So very proud of you! It's not easy to give up the things you love. But it is sooooooooooooooo worth it!!! A friend told me once, "nothing tastes as good as being slim feels".
