Diet update! And happy Easter!

So I'm down to about 121 now, which is absolutely wonderful, besides that my tummy hasn't gone down one bit! However, the tummy area is always one of the last places to lose fat. It's going to start in you face, chest and neck, then move progressively and slowly to your lower back and stomach. But I'm so impatient!

I honestly don't think I'll ever have a flat stomach unless I a) stop eating any kind of bread product (bread, pasta, cereal) and if I b) stop eating sweets. I've done both individually before. A couple years ago I didn't eat any bread products, and that helped a little, but it was way too difficult, because that cuts out so much freaking food!! Last year I cut out sweets as a new year's resolution, and ate none until around the holiday season, so over 9 months with absolutely no sweets (besides a lick of cookie batter here and there maybe!). The only other way I can think I'll have a flat stomach is if I eat 1500 calories a day or less. Which, I'm sorry, I can't do. I get so hungry!

Thus far I've stuck with 1700 calories a day, which is pretty ok, I don't feel hungry. It's definitely enough food. However, I want to start seeing more results, so today I lowered it to 1600. We'll see how that goes!

I'm totally noticing the fat loss in my chest. My sternum is pretty apparent now, and my boobs are shrinking (nooooooooooo) but oh well. Some of my favorite jeans are too loose around my butt.

I signed up to meet with a personal trainer tomorrow, for basic strength, so I will learn how to properly use free weights (dumbbells) and the weight machines. I want to be strong, too! Just all around healthy!

Except for last night, where I made a candy/rice crispy birthday cake for my friend, and totally pigged out. So yesterday was a total diet bust day!

I'll continue to keep you updated! See you around, Clowdies! And happy Easter!
