Changing my Life through Accu-weight Loss

I weighed myself this morning.. kind of disappointing.. I only went down like less than a pound. I’m around 173.5 - 174. Not terrible but on this diet, I should have gone down at least to 173 solid, probably to 172. But, I DID cheat once with rice and chicken, and a second time with smaller tidbits. So considering all that, the 6-lb loss was still pretty good. I’m going to work out later again today, and try to eat some fresh veggies.

So today I did 200 cals on the treadmill, less than the other day and only 1.8 miles.
I actually think I rushed into the workout.  First, I haven’t worked out in a while, second, its still the beginning of the diet and my body is still adjusting…
I know because I’ve been feeling light-headed all day… I couldn’t figure out why because I never really got light-headed to this point.. but I remember reading that on my diet, you should expect it the first week and maybe a little longer.. And if it happens, drink tea with a spoonful of honey. Well I DID do that, but when I started to feel better I had an energy drink and then I hopped onto the treadmill. Well… later I started feeling so light-headed again.. On the Accu-weight loss diet, you don’t NEED to work out to lose the minimum of 15 lbs a month (assuming you are very strict in following it, but we all have our cheat’s once in a while).. BUT they support exercising in that it will help you be fit in general (no weight-building though b/c that requires a protein diet, but definitely cardio and tons of walking).
Well.. I guess I got waaaay too excited about doing this diet again, and knowing that I have 3 months more to lose 45 lbs, (15 lbs a month, well you do the math) and if I do work out AND follow everything, I could probably lose 20 lbs in a month and save the August time period as the start of my tranisitioning.
Oh yeah I also haven’t taken my vitamins in a couple days so that added on.

So.. I’m not going to work out tomorrow.. I estimate that I will probably be well-adjusted enough by Friday to start working out. Anyway, tomorrow I’m meeting up with a friend from college and an old friend from high school and we’re going window-shopping in Time Square. I haven’t been there in a while. So the walking will be leisurely enough and I’m going to make sure I take my multivitamin before I go. The weather is supposed to be in the 60’s so it won’t be uncomfortable.

Today I remembered that I bought these two Roxy sleeveless tunics from Tjmaxx a while back. One is a size medium, the other is large, but the large is a small large. Now, I LOVE clothes. Especially when I was working and making money… in combination with being thinner than I’d ever been.. well you get the picture.. I LOVED buying clothes. Welllllll.. another plus to this diet is you really SEE the weight going.. you lose inches really fast. Last time I was on this diet, I would go shopping with a friend and I would hold back but if  I saw something really nice I would buy it in a size medium, as motivation for when I get down to that size. I went from XL to medium.  These two tunics are SO cute. I tried them both on, the size medium one is the kind that is tight at the sleeves and it tapers out.. I wore it but you could tell it was too small. I admired it though.. I used to do that too.. after I’d bought the item, I would try it on.. sometimes it wouldn’t even go over my head! Then.. after I lost enough weight, I’d try it on and be ECSTATIC! it would fit really well and look really good….
So that’s what I’m doing with that item.
As for the other tunic.. well that one is longer and it is very cute.. it’s cotton and strechy. When I tried it on at tjmaxx, it couldn’t fit over my hips very well. I tried it on today and it did. It fits.. but I didn’t like my stomach. Well.. I don’t wear sleeveless items alone anyway (part of culture) so when I tried it with this light-fabric blazer I had, it looked really good. One thing I always liked about my body is its proportions. I have a large chest, full hips, and a shapely butt. Even when I lost weight, I kept the proportions.. I like how my stomach is shaped too.. my body is evenly distributed. So.. the look I put together looked really well.
I’m debating whether I want to wear it or not tomorrow.. Even though I’m still losing weight, it doesn’t mean I have to look like a bum! But I KNOW it’ll look good even 10lbs from now, and even better at 20. The good thing is that its stretchy.. if I wash it, it’ll shrink.. and at a looser fit, it’ll look even better on me.

Hmm. I think I will wear it. I don’t want to look like a bum..
