After about a 2 week plateau I have started losing a bit more. I had not been drinking my water as I had been in the beginning and I got really undisciplined for a while as far as eating, but I slowly got back into my routine. I had to switch up my workout routine. I’m not going after work anymore. I go straight to sleep and get up around 1030/11 and while the kids center is still open I take my preschooler to the kids’ center. So I get a twofold blessing: workout time for me without feeling too sleepy and some playtime for the little one. I’m doing more cardio now than strength training as per some advice someone gave me. I will probably start up with the weights when I’m about 20 lbs lighter than now, just as a point of reference. I’m hit or miss with being raw, but I still consider my diet high raw. I’m starting to steam some of the bulkier greens.

I’ve taken all my jeans to the tailor and they have a nice fit after being taken in on the sides. They needed to be taken in the back anyways because I size my jeans by my hips, but my waist is small so I always have a big gap in the back showing my undies. I had the tailor make them  a little snug so that I can both feel when I lose more and if I start to gain a little. They are stretch jeans, so even though they are 18s they can stretch to 20s I’m thinking. Hopefully the fit is more like a 16 now. When they get even looser (so much so that wearing a belt makes them bunch up), then I know its time to get some new ones which will be my treat. I have seen jeans in the mall that have “butt lifting” qualities. The biggest size they come in is 14, so that will be a short term goal for me to achieve.  If I can stay focused and dedicated with the cardio hopefully I can make that dream come true by the New Year.

***One thing I have noticed in the past couple weeks is craving attacks. Out of nowhere and in the middle of work, I get the desire for a particular item so bad that I can literally smell it and my mouth starts watering. Items have included flat crust pizza, cornflake chocolate chip cookies, graham crackers and milk, and mcdonald’s cheeseburgers. I actually gave in to the pizza craving after a 2 day wait and I felt both satisfied for eating it,and happy that I could at least delay the gratification.
