June Check In

Today's weight: 312. I lost 11 pounds in May. Whoo!

When Kevin comes home from work this afternoon I'm going to have him take my June pictures. I can't imagine they'll be different the May pictures, since I took them less than two weeks ago. So they are mostly for posterity's sake.

I did lose 3.25 inches since my May weigh-in though. Now I really wish I had measured on May 1!

Waist: 48.5 (-1)
Hips: 55.5 (-.5)
Bust: 45.75 under boobs (-.25), 53.5 over boobs (-.5)
Arm: 16.5 (-0)
Thigh: 29 (-1)

Whenever, in the past, I've measured myself to track weight loss, I've always had this fear that I'm not really shrinking--that I'm just measuring in a different place or something. I can't wait for the day that I go to measure my waist and my starting measurement, 49.5 inches, is so huge that there is no chance I'm only measuring in the wrong spot.

I have a touch of the ADD and have a tendency to hyperfocus on one thing--right now it's weight loss. The upshot of that is that I get a lot done on that one thing. Like losing 11 pounds this month. Starting a blog. Beginning training for a triathlon. Finding an OA sponsor. You get the picture.

The downside is that everything else falls to the wayside. And I end up burning myself out.

I can't afford to burn out on my health. So I've decided for now to start posting a daily list of goals, things that I'll do rather than sit at my computer and stare at my Calorie King food list waiting for to get hungry again. HAHA

Today:

Continue final editing of my novel. I'd like to get through a chapter a day.

Have the kitchen, living room and office straightened before Kevin gets home from work. (I'm such a good little housewife! HAHA)

Gym: 30 minutes on the bike, weight training on chest, shoulders and abs

Start going through my back room. I'll post about my vintage clothing fetish and how it's helping me with weight loss tomorrow.
