I took my measurements a few days ago and was pretty pleased. Since my last measurement (a month ago), I’ve lost:
2 inches in my waist
4 inches in my hips
1.8 inches in each thigh
1.75 inches in each upper arm (my least favorite body part after my stomach)
My weight is still right around 188, but at least I’m staying steady and not gaining – and I’m still losing fat as my measurements show (hooray!).
Once the kids go back to Tennessee for the summer, dinners will be a lot easier – right now I’m cooking for five and while I’d like to have a juice for dinner a few nights a week, it’s pretty tough to make dinner for everyone and then be all, “Enjoy that, Imma have a juice.” I’m still sticking to fresh ingredients and dinners made from scratch, though…so that helps!
I’m not sure what happened, but my knee (my injured one) has been really hurting the last few days. It used to only hurt when I tweaked it; it wasn’t a constant pain. Two nights ago it hurt so much that I actually kept waking up. Unfortunately, it seems that anything a normal person would take is on the no-no list for those of us with IIH. I’ve had to depend on ice pack treatments (which do help, but not as much as I’d like).
As a side note, I’ve gone to the gym every day except Friday for the last two weeks. This will be my third – making habits here!
