Day 18 - Measurement Success

Day 18
Another day down :)
Weight: 230.8 (down 1.6 from last I checked two days ago)
Activity: None today
Measurements: I won't list my measurements lol I'm not that self brutal but notable changes are:

Rt upper arm: up .4"
Lt upper arm: up .7"  (okay I want these to go down lol, so from now on I will wear the same tshirt each time I measure so that I can be sure the tape is in the same spot each week -at the bottom of the arm cuff- maybe its from starting my free weights work or the tape was placed in a different place)
Waist: down 1"
Neck: down .2"
Rt thigh: down .2"
Lt thigh: same   (again will wear the same shorts that hit midthigh to be sure I get the same spot each week)
Rt calf: down .4"
Lt calf: down .2"
Hips: down .5"
Abs: down 2.6"

We had a great conversation at a meeting tonight about the Master Cleanse, so I'm thinking even more that I would like to try this very soon.   Stopped at the store on the way home and picked up Gluten Free oatmeal, some Quinoa and Gluten Free gingersnaps (not a clean food lol, but a nice gluten free snack).

I've found myself having oatmeal every day now and liking it for the most part, it does kind of stick to your ribs huh? :)

Just shy of my 1,800 calories at about 1,710 and feeling good.  Lots of water today, but not the gallon I had planned.  So I will go for it again tomorrow and I find it easy to do when I'm at work all day.  Dinner is planned at Ruby Tuesday tomorrow and I'm looking forward to the fresh salad bar.

For some reason I had a craving for a diet coke today and junk food.  I tapped into why I think I may have been having those cravings, an emotional reaction to a past trauma, but I refrained and work through the craving - yay me! Overeating or eating unhealthy is no longer the way I will deal with emotional upheaval in my life!

Weight and Cardio tomorrow.  I've had 2 Days of Rest out of the last 3 days, so back to work.  I'm not sure how much weight I want to lose overall yet, at least another 80, maybe 100, but thinking I'd like to be in a size 8.  I don't think I ever fit into a size 8, not even as a child.  I do have a pair of size 18 jeans that were too snug when I bought them a couple months ago (even though other brands in that size still fit) so I think I'll try them on tomorrow morning.
