One Week Later – Weigh In Day

It’s been a week since 21 Days of Accountability finished… and what a week it’s been! My life is still slightly out of order as I help my husband recover from surgery. It’s Wednesday now though, so that means it’s weigh in day.

This week I managed to drop 1.2kg. Another week, another kilo gone. I’m happy! I wasn’t sure how I’d go seeing as things really have been hectic here. Nowhere near as hectic as what Christchurch people are currently going through though, I’m sure. The earthquakes they’ve been having  since Saturday morning are still going and making things worse for people. My heart goes out to them.

I lost 5cm off my body this week, making it an even 100cm gone from my body. Isn’t it crazy how the body works! It just did exactly what I wrote about in – Day15 -Take Measurements post. Drastic changes in measurements last week when I only lost 100grams and barely any movement this week when I dropped over a kg.

This week I had a moment. I have a pair of jeans I bought right before I got pregnant with Boston. For the past, well, who even knows how long I’ve been trying to put them on… it’s been a while but my news is; I buttoned them up this week! It’s not enough for me to go out and wear them in public but just a few days ago I couldn’t even get the the two sides near each other. Hopefully in a little while they fit perfectly again. Buttoning them is a huge feat for me. I’ve been searching for jeans since the beginning of the year and not found a pair for my body. Fitting into my nearly new (four sizes smaller!) ones again will take away all that pent up anger over not being able to find a great pair.

This is another really good tool in weight loss. Using clothes to monitor progress and getting a little thrill when you reach a new milestone (seeing as the goal is still so far away).

I’ve also noticed that I’m starting to look a little different. More like me. That’s always a good thing.

My life should be returning to normal soon enough, until then I might be a little bit quiet. In the meantime I’ve heard of a lot of you out there taking up the 21 Day challenge and that makes me really happy! Keep up the great work everyone. xx
