A month's hard work

[clevermanka]

Super-focused eating is, apparently, what I need to start leaning down.

February 1 numbers:
Weight: 169.4
Waist: 33.5"
Navel: 40.5"
Hips: 44"

March 1 numbers:
Weight: 162
Waist: 31.5"
Navel: 38"
Hips: 42"

Yeah, I had the three days of practically-fasting from the flu, but still. Those are some pleasing numbers, especially considering the latest hormonal fuckery.

Since I eat pretty much Whole30-compliant all the time, here's what I eschewed for the month of February:
Coconut milk in tea every morning
Sweeteners of any kind, including honey and stevia
Treats (like those garbanzo-bean blondies)
Alcohol
Between-meal snacking

I also cut down on the amounts of nuts and dried fruit I ate, completely eliminating things like my home-made Lara bars (because of the no-snacking policy).

Between that and the intentional movement at least five times a week, I'm seeing definite changes in my body shape (rounder ass, more defined waist) in just twenty-eight days. God, it's so nice to see results. I owe a lot of the credit to the supplementation schedule I'm on. I wouldn't have seen this amount of improvement (if any) without substantial assistance to my endocrine, adrenal, and digestive systems.

GO YOU!!! What an awesome month for you, especially given all that you were/are dealing with.

I'm so glad you are pleased with your results too!

Way to go! That's a big difference, especially when you consider the way clothing fits at different sizes.
