Double weigh in...
...the results are in. Nothing fantastic but still, I'm down. Weighed in at SFL last night and I was down 1/2 pound (grrr). Yeah, I know, better than up. Just frustrating. Anyway, Erika gave me a journal to write down what I'm eating and when. We did talk about it. I think I over did it with the "good cholesterol" foods. She told me what amount I should be having and I was having double. Then she said to have only 1 of those "gc" foods per day when I was having 2 or more. So, that probably did me in. HOWEVER....
I got measured today at Curves and had some wonderful success. By their scale, I've lost 1 pound this month (which is fairly accurate to where I am). BUT, and it's a big BUT, I lost 7.5 inches!!!! I think that's GREAT progress. My BMI also was down by 0.6% which doesn't sound like a lot but it's great. From the results, Marjorie said I gained a pound of muscle. How cool!! And I lost the most inches from the top down. It's movin' baby!!!! As you can tell, I'm feeling pretty motivated by the results. This has been a particularly hard month for me. The "honeymoon" phase is over. The pounds aren't dropping off like they once were. And I'm heading into the most challenging time of the year. But I'm not discouraged. I'm just pushin' forward, ready to fight and keep droppin' the weight.
So, Survivor last night. Yes, Jonathon is a ba$tard but I'm really sad to see him go. Regardless of his lack of people skills, he knew how to strategize. Oh, well. Whatcha gonna do. And I've hit an all time low in the Survivor Pool. :( I'm now on the bottom of the barrel. Got ZERO points last night and the 1 guy below me is ahead of me by 1 point. D!OH!!! But hey, I'm in it for the journey...for the fun of the game...alright, who am I kidding, there ain't no way I'm gonna win this. :) Next week should be real interesting seeing what Ozzy does. Truthfully I want Yul to win FOR SURE. The only 2 I don't want to see win are Parvati and Adam. They haven't pulled their load at all. And if it's their strategy to coast their a$$es off, it's a sucky strategy. Any of the other 4 are okay to win in my books.
Later.

EXCELLENT news with the weight and inches lost. They do say to stop watching the scale at some point b/c muscle weighs more and your body will be changing 'shape' with the inches lost etc. You know that but I thought I'd remind you that regardless of what that scale says you're doing awesome!! I need to get on board :) What are the gc foods you're talking about?
I agree with Yul winning nut I'm starting to wonder a bit about Jenny...sometimes its those quiet ones that they never really show that end up winning...has me wondering. As long as it isn't Adam or Pavarti, I'm fine with it :)
Have a great weekend!
Yay - Bern I think you are doing awesome. It is great to see a big drop on the scale, but you know you've gotta look at the big pic, and your big pic is really trimming down. You look great!!!
I thought Survivor was great. Was really sad to see Jonathon go. I think he was just the vent for people. He might have rubbed them the wrong way, but I think they WAY overdid it.
I hope A&P are the next to go too!!! Ozzy did look scary in teh preview!!
