this morning (sunday) i woke up, gathered up the rest of my things, and went down for my weigh in.
my results were as follows:
starting weight: 191.6 lbs
result: 175.6 lbs
difference of: 16 lbs
i lost 2.25 inches in my bust, 4.75 in my belly, and 2.5 in my hips.
also, my body fat percentage was originally 35%. it is now 30.5% for a difference of 4.5%.
my BMI dropped 2.5 points.
i only lost two pounds this last week, but that's okay with me. now comes the hardest part: keeping the weight off and losing more.
breakfast was an apple muffin that i grabbed with my sack lunch.
i said goodbye to everyone that was awake and went to wait for my shuttle. annie walked me to the lobby and sat with me while i waited. i'm definitely gonna miss her a ton.
the drive to the airport felt like it took forever. i didn't really want to deal with traveling today. there were a lot of people waiting for me at home and i wish i could've snapped my fingers and reappeared in new york. luckily once i was in the airport, hobbling through with guitar and overpacked carry-on, i saw cindy at the gate across from mine. we walked down to starbucks where i got a grande non-fat cappuccino. it was delicious but the caffeine had me shaking the minute i even smelled it. after talking for a bit, and moping over our terribly delayed flights, it was time to get going.
my lunch in its brown paper bag was resting in my carry-on. i ate it over the longest period of time. i nibbled on a few pieces of green apple here, some carrots there, i had the almond butter and jelly while i was waiting to board, and i had the string cheese towards the end of the flight. thank god there were so many components so i wasn't starving when i left the plane.
my flight, which was supposed to leave at 11:20, finally left the ground at 1:30 the earliest. maybe 2. i was so anxious to just be home that the five hours on the plane felt like the longest hours of my life. i had a middle seat, so i assumed i'd be in between two people that were also flying alone. wrong. i was sitting in the middle seat between a son and a father. the rest of the family was in the row right next to us. i asked if they wanted to sit together and they declined my offer, i'm guessing because they didn't want to sit in the middle seat. it sucked.
i finally landed a little after 9 and met my mom at the baggage claim. new york, huh? nice. i grabbed my bag and we shuffled our way up to the car which felt like it was miles and miles away. the minute my skin felt the new york air it moistened and i was a little sad. so was my hair. sad, sad, sad. so much humidity that the air was thick in my lungs. i don't really mind too much though. it was just drastic to experience that.
we picked up my best friend rich on our way home, as he'll be staying with us for a few days! the minute i got through the door and said hi to my family and gifted them all tiny little presents, i quickly ran to my friend raina's where a bunch of my friends were hanging out. it was so nice to see them all and i'm glad i have a few days left here in ny to settle myself back into real life before heading up to school.
it's time to get to bed, i have an endocrinologist appointment tomorrow morning. i'm probably going to have to get blood taken to get all of my levels checked. hopefully FR helped reduce the insulin resistance! i have faith. i'm hitting the gym right after, too. don't worry.
i've really enjoyed updating this blog, and i'm sure you've enjoyed reading it, too. i haven't decided yet if i'm going to continue writing it or maybe begin a new one to write about my struggles at school? i think that may be what i'll do. if i decide to start a new one, i will probably just continue writing on here. or, it will be connected to this username. either way, i'll keep you updated when i decide.
definitely check back tomorrow to hear about my doctor's appointment if you're interested!
love you all,
goodnight.
