Week 24 251.2

This week has been very easy. I've been learning lots of new recipes and my husband loves them! I do too :) I really wish I would have lost more weight. I've been basically the same weight all week. However, overall since I've started, I've lost 8 lbs so that's good for the end of week 2. Also, I've lost some inches!

I've actually gained in some places but I think I know why. My body already looks different. For example, my upper belly fat has shifted down lower which means it's shrinking. Because of that, the fat that was above my waist has moved lower to my waist region. That means that my waist has gained an inch, but my upper belly has lost half and inch! So, I'm not letting these things get me down because I know that my body is just changing. My husband even noticed!

Also, my clothes are fitting better. One shirt that was tight on me is now a little loose. It's amazing. I didn't think I'd see these results so soon.

Physically, I've been really tired and felt sick a couple of days. But I think it may be hormones due to my period being late (no it's not that!).

I'm learning more and more about what does and doesn't work. Although I haven't been hungry I think it's because I'm eating a little too much and too many carbs in the form of fruit and veggies. So, I need to cut back on those things and see if the weight loss speeds up. I'm also going to start walking again for 20 min on the treadmill like I did today and see if that helps. I'm kind of scared it will increase my appetite, but we will just have to see. I enjoy the physical benefits exercise gives me, so I think I need it anyway.

Lately, I've been kind of panicking thinking of what I'm going to do in social situations. How can I avoid wheat at all costs? I'm afraid that any bit of wheat will lead to a big increased appetite or affect me badly somehow. But I guess I will just have to deal with it one situation at at time. I hate how people think you're weird if you choose to abstain from a food group. It's really none of their business.

I cannot wait to get out of the 250's and into the 240's. I wish it would have happened this week, but I'm so close.  I'm rooting for sometime next week.

I feel like a change has happened in me. This is the first time I've felt that 'healthy high' since I lost that 60lbs. I've been searching for it ever since early 2012. It's taken me a year to find it again. Hopefully, I can keep on track, no I WILL keep on track and just see what works and what doesn't and go from there.
