Default Happy Scale Victory: NOT OBESE ANYMORE!
This morning, to my surprise, the scale read 179!!!!!!!
3 times!!!!!

For a 5’5” woman, that is technically not obese anymore!!! (Yes, that’s according to the BMI charts. They are flawed, yes, but it was a goal).

I normally weigh on Mondays, and given that this number was a bit of a surprise, I expect that by Monday my weight will be up again. But you know what?? I’m calling this goal DONE. Even if I go up, I’ll go back down again.

So, what’s next? When I first set this goal I never imagined I’d be able to go further, but it turns out I’m not done. I’m just now getting into weight lifting more seriously and can see my body changing more, getting stronger. My next goal is 165… and then we’ll see.
