Cycle Day 16, Buffing, Weight 132.0
Because I’m BUMMED about the scale not budging again this week, I decided to take my measurements. I will say that I ate completely within my target points each day and I’m finishing the week with extra allowance points left over. I haven’t changed anything at all in the past 3 weeks… two of those weeks were high hormone weeks, so I REALLY expected a change on the scale this week, but even though I was down a 1/2 pound at one point this week, I finished even. This is where most people get frustrated and decide to give up or loosen up on their eating because of the frustration. SO, I’ll stay on task again this week and if I don’t see any changes, I’ll have to ask myself if there’s anything I’m doing different or should do different. Although, I am VERY proud that I have been very disciplined the ENTIRE nine weeks I’ve been counting WW points.
I looked back at Cycle Day 16 last month and my weight was 135.5, so I’m down 3.5 pounds since then. Gotta feel good about that. My low point last month was around CD 23. Usually my high point is early in my cycle and my low point is late in my cycle. (It’s amazing how much hormones play a part!)
As for measurements, I haven’t measured since I started this challenge, so here are my results so far for this 12-week challenge.
Starting weight – 136, Goal weight for the challenge – 130
Today’s weight – 132 (total loss of 4 pounds)
- Neck: –1/4”
- Chest: –3/4” (if you know me that’s the one place that’s not necessary! Ha!)
- Waist: –1” (in 5 weeks!! Yay!)
- Abdomen: –1/2”
- Hips: –1/2”
- Thigh: –1/2”
- Knee: –1/4”
- Bicep: –1/8”
- Forearm: 0”
- Wrist: –1/8”
That makes me feel a little better. And the fact that I wore some dress pants today that I LOVE that I haven’t been able to wear in a few years.
I’ll keep doing what I know to do is right. Slow and steady.
On to week 6…
