Measuring Up and the Monday Video

Hi all,

So, no sleeping in for me this morning, but already through with many of my Monday’s chores.

As for the important bits, I have logged another scale loss ( told you the scale was a bloody liar haha!). I also have taken my monthly measurements and pictures.

Without further ado:

May……………………………June
Neck:16 inches. 15.75 inches
Bust: 61.25 inches 59.5 inches
L Bicep: 17 inches 16.5 inches
Waist: 51.5 inches 50 inches
Hips: 61 inches 60 inches
L Thigh: 29 inches 28.5 inches
L calf: 20 inches 19.8 inches

So as you can see improvement in every area! A total of 5.7 inches gone!

Now, I said I did the pictures as well. So, here they are:

Not great pictures but you can see some improvement there.

Now, so this isn’t too long or busy, I will do a second post with the Monday check in video.

Keep it going,

Kimmie

Struggles

Hi all,

So, I do my best to show my personality honestly through these writings. Most days I smile more than I cry. I try to help others. I do my best to stay positive and spread that positivity. The past week has been rough. Every day has felt like trekking miles through ankle deep mud.

I am in no way sinking or giving up. I just need to let this muck dry so I can rise above it.

Often it helps to list what is going ok, what I have to be grateful for.

I have a home

I have people who love me

I have land

I am healthier than most even if obese

I have my mind in good working order

I have a few friends

My seeds have mostly done well this year

My garden is actually being worked this year

I know will get past any weight loss plateaus

I have a good career

I have been doing much more writing

My website is getting more traffic

Well that is enough. So, I got 4 of the tomato plants, that were big enough, planted in the garden.

I will be hitting the TG in a bit ( since the prototype for the thighs didn’t work out yet for the walk this morn) and then cooking some supper.

Tomorrow will be the measurements and monthly pictures date. So, prepare yourself.

Keep it going,

Kimmie

Oh No! I Didn’t Lose Weight.

Hi all,

So, it happened. Yep, I’ve now had my first week of zero weight loss according to the scale. ( We already know it’s a filthy liar though)

The scale claims I’m up a pound. All that means is due to stress, dehydration and hormones I’m probably retaining 3 or 4 lbs of water weight. My food diary is open and available for anyone to view on myfitnesspal. Feel free to check out my calories. Lol the fat is being shed. It has no choice.

This situation is temporary, but not good for the 3 month challenge, but the scale will start moving again soon. I have zero doubt on that.

I was going to hit the TG today ( still might later) but the garden needed major weeding and to be prepared for the tomatoes tomorrow. I have baby beans, though. Look!

Those were planted last week. They loved the little rain we got last night, but, as you can see, the ground is already dry again.

Well, I have sewing to do and then as soon as the rest of the pieces arrive, the thigh protection will be done.

Keep it going,

Kimmie

The Scale is a Filthy Liar!

Hi all,

Decided to take a peek at the scale this morning and it says I’ve gained 3 pounds. Serves me right for hopping on the scale before Saturday.

As yesterday was an overall terrible day, I didn’t drink enough, forced myself to eat and what I ate had a good amount of sodium I am retaining water like a dam.

Let me remind you all. I weigh over 300lbs. I’ve been measuring and tracking everything I consume, so at most I may have up to 100 calories higher than I am tracking due to package vs size discrepancies. That means I’m eating between 1100 and 1400 calories most days. I physically Cannot gain fat at that amount of calories.

So, today I will be downing a ton of water and crossing my fingers for the scale to be kind tomorrow.

The saddness that happened yesterday included digging the giant puppy a grave and that took my exercise time slot. So, don’t know what else to say on that. I will be back to exercising tomorrow on the TG.

I have the name picked out for the thigh protection I’m making and the prototype should be created this weekend and the rest of it finished no later than next weekend. Then, I get to start testing it out. Then the 2 alpha testers. Then I’ll recruit some beta testers. Then they will be listed for sale!

It’s exciting!

Well, off I go back to work.

Keep it going,

Kimmie
