I will know exactly what I weigh in about 4 days from now. I’m leaving Sunday for my other apartment (in the Northeast, as right now I am in the Midwest). I have a reliable digital scale there, so I will know what I weigh, once and for all. (No more guessing). I’ll be there probably on Tuesday night, October 2nd. As soon as I get home and settled, I will weigh myself.
I will post the weight here. Trust me, I want to know what I weigh as much as anyone else. 
…another scale. I have no idea what I weigh right now!
OK, I have complained in numerous past posts about my horrible PMS symptoms. I mean, the past 2 months alone, I have felt like utter shit during that time, with a sore throat, slight fever, major bloating, major fatigue, general misery and a constant feeling of weakness if I did anything beyond walk 10 feet. (And I am NOT exaggerating at all).
So, fast-forward to now… guess what?? I am full in the middle of PMS week, and I feel…
GREAT!!!
OK, a little tired, but all the rushing around and exercise and lighter-eating I’ve been doing has caught up. I’m only slightly bloated this time around.
I cannot tell you how happy I am with these changes.
I love exercise. Well, at least when I feel good enough to do it.
Let me reveal a secret to you all now: the last few months that I was in New Hampshire (excluding the time I was on the Kimkins diet, when I actually felt good), I mostly felt like utter crap, physically. I would walk down the street, about 300 feet, to the nearest store, and be out of breath. Let me tell you how embarrassing that is. It would take an effort to do much of any exercise at all. I’d either take a cab everywhere, or after I got my car, I’d drive everywhere.
I would exercise on my stationary bike here and there, but never got too much into it. I would try half-heartedly to get into shape and exercise, but things really weren’t happening.
But fast-forward to now: I am in a new state – in the midwest – and somehow, after all the months of traveling, I am in MUCH better shape. I can exercise moderately for 20 minutes and still not be out of breath, for example. I mean, 2 months ago, I would be out of breath merely walking down the damn street! That is a HUGE improvement.
All of my clothes are loose now, as mentioned in a previous post. I have decided not to post again until they aren’t fitting anymore. After all, I’m currently in 9/10 clothing. I won’t be even half-way happy until I get back into a Junior Size 7.
These days, I get exercise in the following ways:
1. I live on the 9th floor of a building, and park on the 5th floor; sometimes I walk up or down the stairs instead of taking the elevators.
2. There are miles and miles of paths along the Arkansas river here, not even 1/2 mile from where I live; I try – at least every other day – to do a speed walk/jog along the river for about 2 miles or more.
3. I go out of my way to walk and go out more and keep active.
I feel like I have adopted a much healthier lifestyle and attitude out here. Plus, my apartment is big enough to do laps in… literally!
Sooner or later, this lifestyle change will reflect in my weight and size. For the time being, I’m enjoying it.
I managed to remember this week that yes, sometimes it is possible to be too busy and too stressed to eat.
Due to my moving, plus helping my sister move, I haven’t eaten much of anything in days! I have also been running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I went for a walk along the Arkansas river though the other day.
I don’t have access to a scale right now, but I know for a fact that I have lost MORE weight. Number 1 – when I was speedwalking by the river, I did not get out of breath. 2 – My clothing is loose! 3 – I can look down and see that my belly is noticeably smaller than before.
And… this is PMS week. So my belly should be larger!
It’s exciting… and I just can’t weight until I fit into my old 7’s and 8’s. That will mean I’m well into the 140’s somewhere. And I will no longer be technically overweight…
I plan to get a scale soon – I’ll keep you updated!
I somehow managed to get down into the 150’s. With all the traveling I’ve been doing this summer, I eat out a lot, but I am consciously eating less.
I have a conference to attend in the beginning of November, so I’m going to try and lose 20 pounds by then. I know if I was still doing Kiimkins, it would be possible. Next Wednesday, I will finally be able to move into my new apartment, so maybe I will start it back up. I don’t know…
