Day 7: Weigh-in #1

Well, first the boring stuff:

Breakfast:
2 pieces of toast with cheese
Banana

Snack 1:
The crust from baby L's first lunch

Lunch:
The veggie thing again, minus the sausage (so onions, potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and about 1/3 lb of ground beef, all cooked together)

Snack 2:
Banana
Cookie (it's 90 calories... I looked today)

Supper:
A grilled cheese sandwich

Snack 3:
Apple

Water:
80 oz

Exercise:
30 Day Shred Level 1, Day 7

And now... the results of my week of what I consider pretty hard work:

Weight: 67.1 kg - 148 lbs

That means I'm down... 1/2 of a pound. That's more than a little discouraging. Honestly, considering how hard I pushed myself and how much I changed my eating habits, I expected more. I've controlled portion sizes really well this week. I've eaten snacks to keep my metabolism going. I drank a TON of water. I really watched things like condiments (other than the sausage, but my sausage days are officially over) and how much oil I use when I cook. PLUS, I went from zero exercise, to every. day. Ugh! The only other thing I can think to do (other than cutting out the sausage) is to watch my carbs better. I didn't think I was doing TOO bad, especially with all the exercise, but maybe I am. If anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know!

On the bright side, I have lost a significant amount of inches:

Waist - 30" (from 31.5")
Hips - 37.25" (from 38.5")
Thighs - 23" (from 23.25")
Left Arm - 11.25" (from 11.5")
Right Arm - 11.5" (from 11.75")

This seems wrong... I know it does. But both times I measured myself, wrote it down, and then had E measure me to make sure I didn't cheat. I really didn't cheat. But how in the world does one lose so much there and nothing in weight? It really seems wrong. I think I'll take new pictures on day 10 (the day I move up a level on the 30DS) and see if you guys notice any difference. E swears he does, but he could very easily be lying so I don't get SUPER discouraged.
