The problem with losing weight when your older than fifty is that your skin literally hangs. That is because of the concept of carb depletion. When you don't eat a significant amount of carbs, you hold less water, which leaves ones skin.....how do I say...down right saggy.
So what is a woman to do? The answer is; be patient and eat essential fatty acids to help with the elasticity of the skin. Whatever....it sucks.
Here are my pictures from Sept 3
My skin looks tighter, but I am bigger. Now I am smaller and look flabby. thats okay, because when I carb up it will all tighten up.
I am at exactly 135 on my way down to 134.....After labor day, which was a free for all of food with friends, I started at 140+.
I hate taking pictures of myself....seems stupid.
I am extremly tired from those year end exams...I feel like I can barely lift my head. I think I am going to crawl into bed with Orbit for "NAP NAP" time!
Now that I am done with those horrible exams I can spend more time blogging...One of my favorite things to do.

Congrats on finishing the exams - Hooray! And youre looking great! All the hard work is paying off - Go Girl!
Do you compete? You have been talking about your diet and it sounds like you have it down to a science, what kind of work out do you do? I know that must be very specific as well- what with the musculature and all. It's amazing to me how people who body build do just that - build their bodies like a sculpture. Knowing what exercise does what and what food type does what - etc. You have to be awfully dedicated!
I admire that. And by your pictures by the way - no one would guess you are over 50!
Thanks you two....Yes I compete.as a hobby and to keep myself fit....I actually look terrible as I drop weight. When I get past the fat, and get near the muscle, it looks much better...about two more weeks.
Thanks for the words of encourgement. The exams really took it out of me.
But this time next year I will be an acupuncturist...I already am an herbalist....
