Weigh In: Week ???

I don't even know...with Physical Therapy 3x a week to fix my back I have no idea what week of weigh in I should be on.   I went to pick up my supplies on Thursday after PT and there is a new bar--a cookie dough bar.  It's actually really good!

So, we did an unofficial weigh in...I have gained 1lb on the official scale since August 12th.  So that's a total of just about 6lbs on the official scale since the start of 4/10s the first week of June.  I still fit into everything however not all of it feels as comfortable as it did back in that first week of June...

I need to refocus myself.  I have about 6 weeks until my daughter's 2nd birthday.  If I get to 50lbs down on the official scale by her birthday, I will be happy.  If I can get to 50lbs on my scale I will be happy!!!!  heck, I'm already happy!  But I'd like to get back to where I was 3 months ago.  Oh and I would also like for my back to not hurt so I can start running again.  UGH!

Now to figure out when I want to go 100% on IP...I plan on eating crabs this weekend(no, I didn't mean to write carbs--Crabfest is on Sunday) and eggplant (a phase 1 no-no) but there will be a lot of veggies and things I can eat to help fill me up so I don't want to eat too much eggplant and chips and dips and bread with red peppers....ugh....

In other news, we had the CVD Screening at work yesterday.  One of the things I was excited about was seeing how much weight I lost from November of last year.  (I gained a few pounds over the holidays before starting IP so I wasn't sure how much I weight in November--I was still running and dieting with no success).
I have lost 35lbs.  But the scale they use breaks it all down and I found this very interested.

I lost 20lbs in my trunk area but my muscle mass stayed the same, which means I lost 20lbs of FAT.  My arms stayed the same weight but dropped in FAT% and so did my legs.   I am down 3" in my waist but the guys measured a little crooked and not quite in the right spot (and I'm still down about 9" where I am measured for IP--across the belly button)  And my body fat dropped 10% while my muscle mass stayed about the same, which proves that IP works at burning the fat and keeping the muscle.

I just tried on a bunch of what I like to call "professional clothes" for my new job.  I feel fancy.  I cannot wait.  But another 5lbs would make them all feel a little more comfortable...first goal, take off the summer weight by the end of September.

And here's a little something to keep me on track..,

Me.  December 25, 2012 and Me.  August 15th, 2013.
