Fifth Week Summary


I’ve lost a total of 19 pounds in 5 weeks, and a total of 32 pounds since mid April.  I wish it were a larger overall total, but I feel very hopeful about my weight, and my overall health at this point, and going forward.


I feel really good, my energy is great and I’m sleeping well.  I’m loving having my clothes fit loosely and I am looking forward to buying some more flattering clothes.  I can’t wait to surprise my friend  in Tacoma when I visit in September; she will take me shopping!


I can actually see an hourglass shape emerging!!  And, my face has come out of hiding!  I am having a bit of a hard time believing that is my face staring back in the mirror.  There is still fat to lose around my middle, but when I see it, I think “this is manageable, I can do this” instead of having the overwhelming sense of impossibility rear its ugly head.  I can do this!

I was showing off a couple of days ago, wearing a tank top, and I flexed my biceps.  The gals I was talking to exclaimed that I must be lifting weights.  I assured them I have not been, these 14” biceps are left over from my power lifting days some 17 years ago.  They were having a hard time believing it, but I am used to my arms looking good!


It almost made me want to jump right back into a mass building routine!
