Weekly Weigh In: The End of Phase 1

This will be my last Phase 1 post (well except for recipes because I'm sure I'll still be doing that!)

I got close enough to goal (1 pound off) that I don't care.  I'm on Phase 2.  You know why I don't care that I missed it by a pound.  Let me count the ways:

1. I initially didn't pick a weight goal - Lindsay made me :).  I wanted to be a specific size (10) and knew about what I weighed when I was that size last time.  Well I met my size goal (and them some.  I have some pants that are 8s and some of the 10s are a little loose)
2. 62 pounds gone.  One more on top of that is not a big deal to me
3. 55 overall inches - again the 1 pound isn't going to change much if at all everything else.
   Since I started on 2/24, the inch loss is divided out like this:
        Neck: -3
        Shoulders: -7
        Right arm: -3
        Chest: -8
        Waist: -10
        Hips: -9
        Right thigh: -4
        Right knee: -4
        Right calf: -4
        Right ankle: -3

Hey look I'm focusing on the positive (what is done) instead of the negative(what isn't done).  That's kinda novel for me :)

Phase 2 is pretty similar to Phase 1 in that the food list is the same.  The change is to drop 1 of the IP foods and add protein to lunch just like dinner.  That also is a financial savings as it cuts out 1 box a week overall of program food to purchase.  While I may not give up my smoothies ever, it is nice to have less to purchase each week.

Phase 2 lasts 2 weeks.  After that its Phase 3 for 2 weeks then free range full on Maintenance (Phase 4)

That light up ahead is the end of the tunnel :)
