UPDATE #3!!
Well it totally slipped my mind last week to write an update...much has happened in weight loss world in the last two weeks. I've been sticking to my goals - although the exercise has been sub-par to be honest.
So... I've totally thrown out my scale. Apparently it was insanely inaccurate, and was not helping me be realistic about my progress (or my setbacks). So now I am only weighing myself at the gym or at home on a digital scale. The numbers don't lie people. I realized something very important. If I was finding the "right spot" on the bathroom floor to fudge the numbers in my favor, I couldn't really get as excited about progress because deep down I was pretty sure I wasn't getting honest results. Simple truth.
Before I reveal my weight lost over the past week, I want to share with you something about how I am using RightSize and the plan I am following.
RightSize smoothies are designed to be a nutritionally complete meal replacement. They also help you reduce overall calories throughout the day. It was the throughout the day part that I wasn't taking advantage off. Snacks are important!!!!!!! I met with a dietician last week. She has recommended a daily plan of 3 meals a day and 3 snacks...FOR ME (everyone loses weight differently - what works for one, does not necessarily work for all). Just for kicks, I tried preparing all the foods required for the day and didn't replace any meals with a smoothie for a few days. It was hard work!! I have children and a husband to cook for, a job to go to, a house to look after, and don't have hours a day to spend preparing meals!! Sooooo........then I started replacing breakfast and/or lunch with a smoothie as I needed to, to fit my lifestyle, but added snacks mid morning and mid afternoon and reduced the size of my dinner. When I say snack - I am talking about a serving of fruit. Not a bag of m&m's. I also added a small higher protein snack a few hours before bed.
Want to guess how much I lost in a week following this method? 5 POUNDS! I also need to mention that I drink about 2 bottles of SlimminAde a day plus another 32 oz of filtered water.
If you aren't seeing the results you want, make sure you are eating enough for your level of activity, and make sure you are feeding your metabolism throughout the day... You'll feel less hungry, your body will work more efficiently, and will be more willing to give up those pounds because you are providing your body with what it needs. Just be smart about it!
So the numbers are out of whack because of the new honesty policy I have with myself. But here is where we stand and I'll be updating based on these numbers from here out.
Highest weight 252
Current weight 227.5
Total Lost 24.5
Can you believe my old scale said I was at 215?
See ya next week!
