I have been on the Cinch Inch Loss program for 1 week and considering I was in Charlotte, NC June 21-25 for the Type-A Parent Conference, I think the week went well. When I packed my suitcase I packed plenty of shake packets, meal replacement bars, snack bars, tea packets, my new travel blender and my water bottle-all the tools I would need to have a great week.
Each morning I went down to breakfast, got myself a large glass of mil and brought it back to my room to make my shake. Then I went back down to breakfast to drink my shake and network with my bloggy friends. For lunch I pulled out a meal replacement bar and enjoyed it while my friends ate their lunch. At snack time I had a snack bar. I drank lots and lots of water 64-96oz each day. In the evenings I went out to dinner and made the healthiest choices I could.
I even exercised on my trip! Thursday I walked almost 4 miles through airports and around the City Center area of Charlotte. Friday morning I went to the YMCA before breakfast and did strength training and 2 miles on the bike. Friday night I danced in the Just Dance, Just Sweat competition. Saturday I met up with 2 other Cinch bloggers and we walked 2.66 miles through Charlotte and Saturday night I scored another 2000+ steps dancing at the Life’s DHA party. Sunday’s I don’t normally exercise but I got 4000+ steps in while dancing at the Save A Lot party! Monday I didn’t get any “official” exercise in (but my heart rate sure was elevated flying home to Florida through Tropical Storm Debby!). Tuesday I walked 2 miles with my Leslie Sansone walking DVD.
While the scale shows no change this week 🙁 I have lost a half inch in each arm and an inch in my hips for a total of a 2 inch loss!! I’d love for the scale to move, and it will but I am very happy with a 2″ loss on a week where I was traveling!

I am SO proud of you Cindy. Inches is great and you could have gained muscle too hence the no weight loss. Keep up the great work.

It always feels good to me when I lose inches! I can feel it in my body and it serves as a reminder to feel good about myself and my body always – no matter what size. I’m excited for you (saw you on Twitter) so thought I’d come over and send you a celebratory shout-out! Very good, very good, YAY! (I’m a certified Laughter Yoga leader so I say that a lot. 🙂 ) Warmly, Barbara

First off, I’m glad you went to Type A and that I got to meet you. I am proud of you for sticking to the diet and working out while you were there. You lost inches this week and you made healthier choices. Isn’t that what it’s really about, being healthier? I say you are doing a good job.

Losing two inches is great! And not giving into temptation all around you during Type-A wasn’t easy. I’m proud of you and am cheering for you to keep up the great work!
