I really wish that I could have updated my blog yesterday. I had finally gotten down to 249! My goal for this week was to make it to the 240's. I don't know why my weight has been fluctuating by as much as 2 lbs every day. I thought that exercising was causing me to gain, so I didn't exercise Tues-Thurs. But it doesn't look like that's what's causing the fluctuation. So, I may need to start again. Also, I finally got my period, so maybe I'm having bloating or water weight issues.
This week I've hardly had any fruit. I guess that's not making me gain or lose, so I might be able to add some back. It's kind of hard to try to figure out what works and what doesn't, but I know I need to focus on the big picture.
For example, I'm losing inches! Almost all of my measurements were down this week! My huge upper belly area that I had is almost gone! I feel very relieved about that. It was causing so many problems. I do need to work on using weights for my upper body because my upper arms are not going down at all.
I'm trying to not get discouraged that changes are not happening faster. The number on the scale really disappointed me. Only 0.4 lb difference from last week. However, I'm learning new habits, gaining a new life. There are so many benefits that have nothing to do with the scale that I can put things into perspective. It's not always easy to do that, I have low moments, but I'm trying to look at the positive side of things. There will be good days and bad days, good weeks and bad weeks. The important thing is that I don't give up.
I finally got my Wheat Belly book and Wheat Belly Cookbook in, so I'm excited to learn new recipes. This week I learned how to make a flaxseed wrap and it's good! Also, a lot of other people I know are doing different diets, so maybe people we know will be more accommodating to our diets.
Measurements: Waist 49", Thigh 21.5", Calf 17.5", Wrist 7", Hips 52", Upper Belly 50", Neck 16", Upper Arm 15.5", Forearm 11.5", Bust 47"
