I restarted on March 9th, weighing in at 171 lbs. Today is day five, and I am down to 168 lbs - only a small victory, but a victory none the less! I've been back in the UK since February 3rd, and I'm here until April 25th when I go back Stateside. Luis and his family don't know that I'm dieting, so I want them to be shocked when they see me again looking hopefully at least 20 lbs lighter! I still have another 6 weeks to go (I think) so I should be able to get down to 145 by then
It's actually been easier this time. I think it's probably down to a number of things, such as having money, having a structured lifestyle and a routine again, and also having my anti-depressant medication sorted out so I'm in a much better position to want to do this. 5 days and not one cheat, nothing. Not even a temptation! It's a great feeling, I'll tell you that.
As for exercise, nothing too strenuous, just a 3 mile round trip walk to and from work each day. Going from zero exercise to two 20 minute walks a day has made a big difference, and I can feel a gap between my thighs when I walk now! (TMI, I know, I know...) Starting this weekend I'll be walking and jogging a lot more, so that will impact my weight loss and my inch loss!
I measured once at the start, and I'll continue to measure once a month. I don't think I need to measure weekly.
As for weigh ins, I'm weighing each morning. I'm not obsessed by any means, I promise! It's just a means for me to keep motivated. I know I'm doing this WOE correctly, so it's not a case of that, it's just the fact that I like to see that I'm not gaining weight, so even if I haven't lost anything, I don't feel demotivated.
