Burlesque Babe

Did up most of my meals/snacks for tomorrow on MFP and should easily be under my cals and sodium. Hopefully that will equal a good weigh in on Friday.
 
Hey Mystic - great work on your cals this week - you are on a good stretch -
& happy for you & your decision to try out the new trainer... follow your heart.... ;)
 
Thanks!
Had another good day today. Under cals and quite far under on sodium, however my tummy is feeling a bit upset and that can sometimes reek a bit of havoc on my weigh ins. The scale was kind to me today but really want it to be kind for me tomorrow since that's official weigh in day.
Been feeling a bit lazy bout updating on here lately so don't mind my short posts.
This weekend I might do 1800 cals then bump back down and do 1500 cals next week again.
Had another client comment that I was getting skinny, haha. Considering I wear loose fitting scrub type clothes, they must all see it in my face I guess.

Oh I love when other people comment on the weight loss. Just boosts your confidence and willpower.

Here are some pics I took today while trying on my horse show clothes.

This jacket was tight on me last year. Now it's much too loose. In the right hand pic I tried to gather the excess to show where it should roughly fit.

Did the same in the right hand pic.

The shirt on the left fit me really tight last year. To the point it was pulling quite badly across the chest. I can't believe I used to wear those pants, They were almost comically too big!!

It's really good for me to try on some of my old clothes. It helps me to see how far I have actually come. I can see I look better in my clothes most of the time, however still stepping out of the shower I feel greeted by the same fat body I had 25 pounds ago.
 
BTW, ate under my 1800 calories today. Have my lunch/dinner/snacks packed up for going to my parents' house for the day tomorrow.
My horse hasn't felt as great the last couple days. I think I increased my work a bit too quick accidentally so I am gonna back off a minute or 2 and wait till he feels better again before increasing again.
 
Measurements at 146.4

Arm: 10.5" (0)
Chest: 36.5" (-0.25)
Waist: 31.5" (-1)
Abdomen: 34" (-0.5)
Hips: 38.5" (-0.5)

Measurements at 142.6

Arm: 10.5" (0")
Chest: 36.25" (-0.25")
Waist: 31.5" (0")
Abdomen: 33" (-1") :D
Hip: 38" (-0.5")
Thigh: 24" (-0.25")
Calf: 14.25" (-0.25")

Happy about my abdomen and hip measurements. Glad the thigh is coming down to! Total os 2.75" lost since I last measured!
 
Was over my cals today. Probably just over maintenance. Gonna eat 1800 tomorrow then do 1500 next week.

Looking at the pics I really wonder if I will have to lose more than 15 more pounds. My stomach just does not seem to be wanting to go away! Hopefully it will suddenly just drop off!

Oh, and my horse felt better today. It seems he still sometimes has to get used to it when I add some more work, then feels better again in a couple days. But in a couple more weeks he should be 100% healed and so should hopefully not have these slightly less good feeling days.

Tremendous progress MR. 6 inches off the abdomen measurement is fantastic. Keep up the excellent work.
 
WOW what progress!! You look fab Mystic! Really really good. How much more do you wanna lose as you look quite good now?
 
Thanks. I have at least 15 more to lose, but with how things are looking, may need to lose more. Will see once I get closer to my goal.
 
Hey Mystic - you look great in the pics-& I agree with Mands - U are already in the normal range, ..... and you are only 14 lbs from goal...that is so great.

hope you have a great week, keep up those calorie goals...you are doing so well.
;)
 
Thanks. Hoping that the 14-15 pounds will be enough to get to where I want to be but time will tell.
Should finish up nicely in 1500 cals today. A little high on the sodium but not terrible. I ended up having chinese food yesterday instead of what I planned to have. I had bought a new food to try and so made that for supper last night. GROSS!!! My parents had ordered in chinese so I had some of that. Still I think stayed in my cals but I forgot I had it when I weighed this morning and was like 'why is it so high?!... oh ya, chinese food" haha.
 
ok- dish girl....?? what was that new gross food you bought??? ( gotta make sure I never buy any.... ) lol .....
