I just realized that since I started this (very slow, sluggish, backwards) weight loss journey I have gone from "Obese" to "Overweight" on the BMI scale! That makes me very, very happy.
The next goal: To become "normal" (they should really label this "healthy" instead of "normal")! "Normal" goal: 159 Wow, that means that by this summer I could be at a healthy weight. I think I need to print that out and post it somewhere!
It was dark when I walked in this morning, so when I was walking down the hallway past the windows, I could see my reflection. I thought, "wow, you're looking pretty slim there, girlie!" and then said to myself, "maybe you should stop trying to lose and just maintain." Of course, I immediately said, "nah" and kept walking.
Kath, you are TOO funny. But, until you're convinced that you're at a good weight you won't be satisfied. Your opinon is the one that matters. I look at my reflection and say.....who's that?!
I got pinched after my workout today, and I'm down to 24% body fat. For my age, that puts me in a good range. It was also harder for him to pinch me in certain areas because of what I've lost. So that was pretty cool. I needed to do that, because I think I gained (again) over the weekend.
Well trying to get back on track so nsv's are pretty slim these days...but was at a meeting this afternoon and co-worker came in w/her tea (I was having some coffee) and 2 of these round sugar coated chocolate cookies (looked home made!).
She gave me one and insisted I have it - hmmmmm so I let it sit for awhile - she then 'reminded' me it was for me. So I had a little bite - and you know what - it did not taste that great! One more bite and I was convinced I did not need or want this cookie - I kinda moved it around a bit - wrapped it in my napkin and was able to dispose of it when she wasn't looking!
Of course I am starving now and have eaten my veggies w/dip and can't wait to get home to eat dinner!
...and don't forget today's non chocolate bar eating event! Colleague bought me and another course attendee those big fundraising chocolate bars as a treat and I did not eat mine and shall bring it home for further consumption and distribution among other family members!
