There Goes the Belly
Woke up this morning and did what most women who are trying to lose weight do, examined myself in the mirror. We have a full-length mirror in our room and I was surprised to see . . . I’m getting my shape back! My stomach is noticeably smaller, though I suspect the majority of it just decided to hang instead of standing up straight, but if you kinda cut it off just below the belly button, there’s a marked improvement.
Since I could actually SEE that I’m thinner (and the fact that I had to stop and tie my exercise pants tighter at Zumba on Tuesday), I decided to step on the scale again. A whole pound lower. If you look at my sidebar, I’ve lost a whopping 7lbs this month. Gak. Must speed things up!
I have a friend who is doing an extreme diet. She has a reunion coming up and is stressing out, so she is doing something that involves daily injections and 500 calories. She suggested I do it, too. I laughed at her. Five hundred calories? Seriously? I’d faint on an hourly basis on that amount of food!!
What I do need is to drink more water. I’m addicted to Coke Light. I thought it was better because of no sugar, but apparently it can stimulate your body into producing too much insulin and give you diabetes. Not sure what I’ll do for my astoundingly high caffeine needs, but it’s time to cut back and drink more water.
So, that’s my goal this next week. To drink 3 bottles of water a day (20 oz). I failed miserably in my plan to do Wii, but water I can definitely do. Especially if I get two more bottles and just have them sitting here on my desk.
How is your weight loss going?
