Day 80 of ME

Slow and steady wins the race.  I hope.  Not much change this week.
Weight is actually UP.  But body fat percentage at an all-time low, and both waist and abdomen slightly down today as well. 
Having trouble being hungry today.  I keep eating.  BUT I'm eating the "approved" foods.  And, although it's extra "calories", it (hopefully) won't go to "fat" since I'm choosing fat-loss foods. It certainly has to beat eating too much of all the wrong things.  Right now, I'm enjoying a delicious bowl of oat bran with vanilla protein powder, cinnamon, apples, and pecans.  YUM.
Only 2 months until our family trip, and I really hoped not to be uncomfortable on this trip.  I wanted some nice shorts that did NOT ride up in the crotch because my thighs rub together, but not so sure this is going to happen. My legs are just too close together, I guess.  It may improve, but I think I'm destined to have rubbing-together-thighs.  If you have not experienced this, you really can't relate, but you should thank God every day that you don't have this.  It is SO ANNOYING.  Sticky when you are hot.....bunching up shorts when you walk... ARRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!  You cannot begin to understand.
I also did not want fullback upper arms on this trip. I'd like to wear a sleeveless shirt or dress for the FIRST time since I was 5.  I feel so self-conscious about my arms.  They don't go down vertically from my shoulder...they sort of round their way down and OUTWARD from shoulder to elbow, like a big curve.  Like a FULLBACK.  Lifting heavy weights and getting my interval ME workouts in, but so far, no thin arms.
Oh well.  Like I said previously, I am NOT giving up.  And I am NOT going back to eating the way I used to.  I didn't realize how badly I felt most of the time eating that way.  Healthy, yes.  Fat-loss friendly, no.  And feel-good friendly, double no.
So...I continue down the path...
