This month has been a bit frustrating for me so far as it has been hard for me to lose weight (I did finally drop 0.7 lb today, woot!). My energy levels are still all over the place and my sleep hasn't been very consistent. I haven't had time to walk more than once a week really, and I feel hungry a lot more often which causes me to eat before bed (I believe that is a total killer for my weight-loss progress). I question if I'm finding this months weight harder to lose since I had been around this weight for several long years before putting on all the weight I have now lost so far this year. I am hoping my weight will start dropping off more frequently again, and I definitely need to find the motivation and time to do my walks.
At two different times this month I must have cut out around 800 calories from my daily caloric intake and my weight had only barely dropped the first time, but the second time around was what resulted in today's weight loss. Generally during these long lulls I don't mind this happening because it gives my body more time to tone up... while I would generally workout more, but it has definitely becoming frustrating at this point. I feel like people around me are also questioning if I'm even still dieting anymore (even though this isn't a diet at all for me but a lifestyle change) which is probably why this feels more frustrating to me than usual but I can't let those little things get to me, especially when I have come this far.
As for other news I decided to measure my body this week since I hadn't done so since January 1st this year. I have now lost 2 inches around my chest, and 1 inch around my waist and hips (my co-worker even mentioned to me "oh wow, you have a waist again", haha). I didn't measure anything else but I can tell my upper arms are smaller (my sleeves no longer stay up) and lately I feel like my legs have a little as well. On that note I definitely need to buy some new clothes this week (not trying to go overboard though since I am still trying to lose a lot more weight) as I'm tired of my pants practically falling off of me and my t-shirts looking like pajama tops (I will be donating some of my old clothes very soon).
