Six Months Later

Image
So six months here I am. Down 52 pounds from the beginning of boot camp on October 4, 2017. I have lost: 6.5 inches in my Bust 10.5 inches in my Waist 8.5 inches in my Hips 10.25 inches in my Stomach Seeing those numbers in incredible to me. I really didn't see myself as I was before I guess, but I can see it now -- that I was heavy before. Still not sure exactly why I am able to stick to this, when I could never stick to Weight Watchers or anything else, but it must be this program. I'm thankful.

Ten weeks of Boot Camp Later....

So I thought I would write a whole lot more, but time got away from me. I've been so much more successful than I could have imagined. I only broke my Bright Lines a few times and in very small ways: one glass of champagne, grain at dinner and some asian food that may or may not have had some added sugar. Because I was able to follow the plan I managed to loose 25 pounds in 10 weeks which is pretty astonishing. For the most part my cravings were at a level of 1 out of 5 on most days as was my hunger and discomfort from hunger. Sure there were some days when I was hungry at the beginning as my body adapted to three meals a day and less calories, but on the whole I'm not hungry. I do feel more free and unless I'm planning my food for the next day I'm not thinking about food, or when I'll eat next or what I'll eat. I have a lot more to say about all of this, but don't have time right now. These are terrible photos, but here's what 22 pounds gone looks lik...

Bright Line Eating Boot Camp Day One Part One

Today is the day. To be honest I wonder if I can actually stick to something this rigid for even a month, but it's worth a try for the Boot Camp period and then I'll re-assess. I don't really have a problem with not eating sugar and not eating flour and eating only three meals a day -- it's the strict quantities and division of fats, protein's, grain's, fruit and vegetables at each meal and weighing everything that's a sticking point right now, as this just seems very inflexible to me and not adaptable to travel or eating out -- but I'm hoping to learn from other more seasoned Bright Line Eaters during the Boot camp. I like to cook things together in one pot or pan and this plan has us weigh things after cooking so I don't see how I can then separate out the protein, fat and grain to wright it, but we'll see. I'm one of those people who hates making special requests at restaurants so that may be something I have to get over. I'm also go...
