May 7 Weigh in: 160.0 lb

Just took a walk in the subdivision in the bright moonlight surrounded by green grass… Came back and stepped on the scale, guess what? 160.0 lb today. Wow! I took 1 cereal and 2 apples during lunch time and another apple in my way to drive home.
By the way, they are small Fuji apple sold in super-H mart at about 60 cents per pound.

How to Dress for Flatter Abs

You try your best to control weight in order to look good, but you don’t need to wait to look good before you achieve your goal. You can look good while you ARE TRYING to lose weight. Here are some tips.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Attaining flat abs isn’t just a matter of diet and exercise. Here are some of the best wardrobe tips for hiding not-so-flat abs:
Avoid clingy fabrics. Anything shiny or stretchy will just draw attention to the fact that your stomach isn’t flat. Look for denim, cotton, or wool instead of satin and jersey.
Skip cuts that add unflattering volume. These include baby-doll or Empire-cut dresses, which won’t work unless you have great legs and a small chest. Try a cut that narrows at the waist or cinch your middle with a belt. For skirts, look for pencil cuts and avoid pleats.
When shopping for pants, look for a fit that hits about an inch beneath your belly button. Don’t go so low that your stomach spills over your pants’ waistband.
Top it off with something that draws attention to your shoulders, such as a narrow single-breasted jacket cropped at the waist. Tops that fall below the hips and float over the stomach also offer the best camouflage. These include peasant shirts or tunics that aren’t too billowy.
Control-top tights under dresses and pants can be great body sculptors.
And lastly, whether you‘re sitting or standing, keep it straight. Suck your stomach toward your backbone.

panick

I’ve been meaning to blog more this week, but after we got home Monday evening from a holiday weekend at my parents I was just too tired. Especially after the baking (5 desserts!), traveling, and eating!
Tuesday morning I got on the scale and I panicked. I was stunned and shocked and wanted to cry.
And that is why I didn’t write. Last week I was weighing in around 283. Which we all know is up

extended weekend

Hello, just popping in quickly for an update. I’m at my parents house for the weekend for the holidays and whatnot. I did my two thanksgivings for sure, but I will be back to blogging on Monday evening.
I hope you all had a happy and healthy thanksgiving! Thank you for the positive supportive comments lately, it is always appreciated. See you monday!

exercise for the week

Day two of my intuitive weight loss, as I’m referring to it was a bit easier with a small loss of control during holiday baking.
The past few days I have had some serious lower back pain, the kind that radiates down through my thigh, leg and then foot. Without two advil every few hours I would have been wobbling around the house. Lower back pain for me is a sign that I need to exercise more…
