I finally did it. I tracked my calories and stayed under my goal for the day yesterday--it only took me a week and a half to get my shit together. It's true when they say that eating junk makes you crave junk. Luckily, most of the cookies/chips/dips are out of the house now, so it's easier to NOT eat them. I think it helped that I had a lot of exercise calories, too, so I was eating close to 2000. Anyways, we're back on track!
I learned the hard way that you can set deadlines for weigh loss, but your body will lose the fat when (and where) it wants to, how it wants to, so I'm loosely stating that I want to be under 180lbs by Thanksgiving. I left Denver at ~183lbs but have worked my way back up to ~190lbs, so that's ~10lbs in a little less than 10 weeks. Definitely doable, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I'll just do my best and see where I am in 10 weeks!

Long Overdue Post
So I'm back. I've been working my tail off this week to lose the water weight and get back into things after several weeks of vacations and friends. I never did a final weigh in/measurement after 30DS so I'm counting today's as just that.
SW: 204.2 lbs
Waist: 40in
Hip: 37.5in
Bust: 41in
Calf: 17in
Arm: 14in
Thigh: 28in
Here's the last chunk of my 30DS excel sheet...
In total, I lost 5.4 lbs & 5.25 inches. Not great, but not bad. The best thing is that I can feel a difference in my strength and SEE a difference in my calves. I wish my arms would have gotten smaller (I'm sick of the Pete & Pete flab. See previous blog posts for explanation), but overall, I completed 30DS without dying. Go me. *If you want to see progress pictures from start and finish of 30DS, go to my MFP blog @ http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/knoll630
As for my current situation, I started SIWW on Monday and started another spread sheet for that, just to keep track of what days I do it and what days I run and what days I shouldn't run, etc... Here is that sheet:
I really like this new workout. It's more strength mixed with cardio so I'm hoping to see some differences with this regime than I did 30DS. I felt so behind last time that perhaps I wasn't burning as much as I could have. But for now, let's celebrate that I did lose weight & inches and that I have officially reached ONE-derland and plan to stay there for a long while! :)
