Weight Loss Wednesday 10.3.18

I signed up to participate in Street Parking's fall nutrition challenge. It uses their templates, a food list, and a points tracking system. I want something to hold me accountable to cleaning up my diet and getting me to eat balanced meals at regular intervals, and this challenge looked like it would fit the bill. I have already had to bite my tongue several times because I have a lot of opinions about their rules and banned items. I remind myself that it's their company/program's challenge and no one is making me do it. This is a learning experience for me and something to push me outside of my comfort zone.

We submitted starting photos and stats on Monday, October 1. These photos are cropped but not otherwise edited. Lord, do I miss the structure edit function!

Starting Weight: 151 lbs

Body Fat Percentage: 22.9 %

Lean Body Mass: 116.4 lbs

So we are not supposed to weigh ourselves again until the end of the challenge but I was looking a lot less puffy this morning and I hopped on the scale. I'm back down to 148.2 lbs after a weekend of eating all the things that are not on the approved list. One reason I don't like approved lists is because it makes people like me want to eat things that they wouldn't think to eat, such as Publix fried chicken tenders and chocolate milk.

We will take weekly measurements. These are my starting stats.

Measurements
Chest: 35"
Waist: 30"
Right Thigh: 23.5"
Left Thigh: 24" (I want symmetrical thighs dammit!)
