Over 5 pounds in a week!!!

Stellar weight loss this week! Last Friday I weighed in 159.8. This whole week I’ve been on fire, losing almost a pound a day. To quote a famous internet meme… is this real life? I weighed in this Friday at 154.4! That’s a total of 5.4 pounds in a week!

Towards the middle of the week I started worrying that I was going to overdo it and hurt myself so I’ve been keeping a close eye on how I’ve felt and staying hydrated. I haven’t been hungry or tired, so I’ve kept on it.

Looking at weight charts I estimate the ideal weight for me is 140-135. Though short at 5 feet, I have a large skeletal frame. I’m also about to turn 47. When I hit 135 pounds I’ll see how that fits me and adjust. That means I’m just 19.4 pounds off my final weight goal.

I haven’t done anything much different this week to explain the stellar weight shed. I did start taking cinnamon in capsules with my regular 310 Nutrition meal replacement shakes.

I still have a shake for breakfast and a shake for lunch. I snack on raw almonds and bananas through out the day, eating as much as I want of them. At dinner I eat a light meal, avoiding grains and anything too fatty.

My work outs have gotten a little more intense. I generally keep them at 30 minutes, still doing the aerobics to music in my bathroom. As the weight has peeled off I’ve felt much more energetic and bouncy, making better work outs.

I can’t really explain the big loss this week, but as long as I continue to feel healthy and energetic, I’m not complaining. I don’t expect the same results next week, but I will be trying for them still.

If I could safely keep this up, I would have a chance to reach my end weight goal by Halloween. That would be worth screaming about.
