1 month report

Postby Love the Lorax » Thu Aug 25, 2011 7:25 am

As background - I fell off eating well in the spring - too many stresses, depressed, etc. At the end of July I pulled myself out of the gutter and said enough is enough. I hate feeling this way, the scales were up, BP up, etc.

So, one month of healthy eating and exercise:

BP was 154/96, today 126/78
Fasting glucose - was 93, today 81.
Weight 159, today 149.4
Lost 1.5 inches off my waistline.
I have more energy and feel better.

Whew, nice to be able to look back and see progress. I still have fat to lose and muscle to build, but it will happen.

Trust me on this: One day you'll wake up and realize that it no longer feels like "being strict." It just feels GOOD. :)

Just a side note for Ege Bamyasi, I don't visit the McDougall forums as much as I used to since I'm a bit busier these days, but it's great to see your continued improvement. Keep up the great work! :)
