week 2 weigh-in

So with great trepidation, I stepped on the scales this morning before hitting the shower. I liked the numbers. 🙂 

week2
17 days

 

From the numbers, it looks like I average 1.4 lbs per week. That is perfect for what am doing, considering my workouts are really quite simple and am hardly breaking a sweat and am not exactly starving either. I have 4 more weeks to go, and if I can maintain this, I’d lose 6 more lbs, which would add up well, to 10. I frankly, would be thrilled if I make 8 lbs and drop a dress size. Easy does it. I have always believed in doing things slowly and making smaller changes than drastically killing myself at the gym or not eating and becoming size 2 or 4! 

Regarding inches: I almost graphed out measurements but am thinking that would presumably border on “baring-all” and provide un-necessary visuals of various kinds and hence I shall just say “5 inches ” . Yes, I have lost 5 INCHES overall!! Am excited enough to make a feast of the Holiday Luncheon spread the office building’s catering to us! 🙂

So what changes do I see?

  1. All that water drinking’s actually made my skin less dry and perhaps dare I say, soft too. Of course this is purely my own opinion, and I can very well be imagining it all 😉 
  2. Clothes are sitting on me looser, as in no, they aren’t falling off or anything, but they just slip on easier with comfortably more room, the snug ones especially. 
  3. I feel lighter. It’s a hard thing to explain, but it’s like getting a haircut. You know, when your hair’s all grown out and is long and then you go get a trim, cut and walk out feeling very light? It’s that kind. 
  4. My energy levels have remained the same. I don’t feel a particular lowness or lethargy, and neither am I feeling hungry all the time. Though definitely there is the presence of ‘food’ on the mind most of the time. Frankly, I’ have a feeling am snacking more now than I used to, primarily coz am thinking in my head “Oh, it’s an hour, I should be drinking water” , or “I need to eat a snack now” and am consciously looking for healthy choices. I normally wouldn’t eat much of a breakfast and would grab an early lunch by 12 and then of course evenings, am nibbling things once I reach home and then it’s dinner. Now, it’s spread out all day. Will hope that this constant imaging in my head will fade eventually, and the mind will tune itself. 
  5. I am not hugely stressed or wrung out except for my weak right leg. The knee area is still swollen, the calf muscles feel tight and the there is a tightness around it. Rest of the body’s doing just fine, no aches, pains, soreness with the weights or Pilates. 

So there, onward I go!
