End of March

Saturday March 26: 174 Lbs
Sunday : 174 Lbs
My body firmly resists to losing more weight.
Despite a very strict and honest protein diet with no sugar at all, I did not lose one pound this week.
I am desperately at the same weight, variations are from 0.8 to 0.2 lb... So, third week of diet: big failure.
I know I have to increase my cardio activity and work outs. However, I have been following my one other day 10 min abs and plank, and a long walk a week. 
I have been going this week through a 24 hours fast, many parties where I have been surprising myself (purim party where I did not taste one Hamantashen, farewell party where I did not have my usual beer and nachos, diner party with only steamed light mini dumplings, going out with no drinks, only sparkling water, Easter party with no chocolate, no desert) that was a LOT of challenges. I succeeded on all of them. And the reward is so disappointing !!!!
I am desperate, really. 10 days at the same weight is way too long and not normal at all considering what I eat (probably around 1200 cal a day, I don't really count). Even if I know it's a plateau, it has been a very long plateau.....
Time to lose again !!!!
Monday: 174 Lbs 
Tuesday: 174 Lbs
Wednesday: 173 Lbs
Just a note: I finally lost 10 Lbs. That was the first step of my 3 steps of loss. On my way now for the second set of 10 Lbs. I know it will take time.....

Thursday: 172 Lbs !!
Friday: 172 Lbs

March 2016

New successful week: 
Lost  3 Lbs this week and the week-end is not finished yet. 
And the bigger success is that I eventually went under the "obese" BMI of 30 something to an overweight BMI of 29. I am really happy for that, mostly for my health .

Saturday, March 19: 174 Lbs. My objective is to continue the same pace to the end of the month, given that I will lose less weight now because I am attacking the "old fat". But it is so encouraging and rewarding ! I am very happy with the results.

I slightly dress differently and was able to fit in an old dress I like very much, simple navy blue with navy blue tights and ballerines. I look good in it. I still struggle with the abs and plank. It feels like I am really disable. So far away from the last time I headed to the gym...But, yes, I have to keep on ! Maybe it's just because at my age, the belly wants to be fat and exercising becomes a great challenge....
PS: I will post before/after pic in the future....(I have the before one, but not the after one yet ;))

Sunday: 174 Lbs
Monday:  174 Lbs
Tuesday: 174 Lbs
Wednesday :174 Lbs (Already five days at 174 lbs, with  absolutely nothing wrong in my diet and no sugar....)
Thursday: 174 Lbs (depressing...)
Friday: 174 Lbs (how many days should I wait to lose one pound ????)

March 2016

First week of protein diet no sugar: a big success !!!  done, and already lost 6 Lbs.
I am of course, not expecting that speed to the end, but at least, I feel not bloated and much better. I am not hungry, enjoy good meals, don't crave for sugar (as far as I don't see anything I like around)
Saturday March 12: 178 Lbs

My rewards after this victory ! Lot of care products, scrubbing, firming cream, moistening, feet care, ect....Happy :)

March 2016

I am starting a protein diet on Monday March 7.
Started the diet at 183 Lbs on Sunday
First day is always easy...
Monday March 7: 183 Lbs 
Tuesday: 181 Lbs 
Wednesday: 179 Lbs 
Thursday: 178 Lbs
Friday: 178 Lbs

Basically, I eat: 
Breakfast: a glass of fresh lemon in water, a plain yogurt, a coffee.
Morning snack: a fruit (mandarin or strawberries)
Lunch: anything tasty with proteins and greens ( fish+ edamame; big spinach salad + roasted chicken; bagel + cucumber, onions and smoked salmon, artichoke Humous+ crunchy veggies...)
Afternoon snack: a rice cake, crunchy veggies (radish, Kholrabi), a tea or coffee (depending at what time, if I have not eaten bagel of course), small hand of almonds
Dinner: egg drop soup; salad + surimi; miso soup + omelet; scramble eggs+ mushrooms...+ a Tibetan tea.
The two snacks of the day are only if I am hungry. But I haven't been so hungry, so I skip them.
And I drink a lot of lemon water, sparkling, tea.

My exercise program: 3 times a week, 10 min abs or plank+ 1 hour walk once a week. Not drastic, but I need for my belly.....
