So we are officially on Day 10 of Phase 2 revised. It has been a super busy but accomplishing 10 days. I haven't been able to make it to the gym as much as I would like but I have still achieved some amazing results. So being the ding dong I am I forgot to weigh myself the Day before I started so the day before that I was 267.2. Which I had gained some back from my original Phase 2 loss, mainly due to my mental week. It wasn't a huge gain but it was a gain. At the end of my original 41 days I was at 265.8. Which was awesome in its own right. But we had started working out and doing what we were supposed to do with Phase 3 and I just wasn't feeling good(you can read this in previous post) but had gotten down to 265.4 so not much lower than my original 41 days.
So on the Day before day 1(which is fat loading day) I weighed 267.2. On Day 2 (after fat loading day) I weighed 272.4. That was a yikes and OMG moment. But on a positive note that came off super fast. By Day 4 I was at 264.6. So where are we after 10 days of weight loss? I weighed in this morning at 255.6. So in 10 days I have lost 11.6 lbs and am only 5.6lbs from my second goal. Now if you go off what I weight after fat loading it will be 16.8 lbs in 10 days. Either way the number is overwhelming and so very exciting.
So am I noticing a difference? I still don't see it when I look in the mirror. I know other people do, but its going to take me some time I think to see it. Plus I look in the mirror everyday so I just see me! But I can tell you that I almost started crying in the Lane Bryant fitting room yesterday. I have been a size 22/24 up to a size 26/28. For a very long time. I got up to like almost 320lbs at my heaviest about 3 years ago. I had lost weight the first time partially while my father was sick and then after when I got diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. I had gotten myself as low as 280. Which then got me in 22/24 clothing. When I started this journey I was headed back to size 26/28 very quickly. So to go into the dressing room and try on Jeans(mind you they have some stretch) and tops that I was amazed to fit into. I was wearing yesterday size 20 jeans and 18/20 tops.
So for anyone that understands the struggle of weight loss this brought on sniffles of joy. LOL! I haven't been a size 18/20 since I was about 20-22 years old. This was very overwhelming but I loved every moment of it. Now do they fit me perfectly yet.... NO! I still need to loose some weight to make them fit even better, but I got them on, buttoned and could even sit down in them. :) Which is most important. For the first time in awhile I was enjoying trying on clothes. Of course you know you need clothes when your size 28/26 work pants are now so big you can put both legs in one leg of the pants LOL!
So I am sure you all are ready to see pictures. I officially meet with Dr. Joe on Tuesday for my first check in and will be getting all new stats. So I am going to save the pictures for Tuesday so I can put it all together. Don't worry my friends and faithful prayers, I am still here and still pushing along. Only 31 more days of this very fun diet, and only 47 till Disney!
Until then.... Faith, Trust, Pixie Dust and ME!
