Weigh In and NSV

Today I am 169.2.  Back out of the 170s, woohoo!  At the gym this morning, during power hour, I was able to do the jumps in between the double burpees.  Yep, I am a total rockstar!  Things like that are so much more important to me than the number on the scale.  It's just a number.  What should gravity's action have to do with my happiness with myself?  It's silly.  Yes, I have lost 75.8 pounds.  It is much more important to me that I can do 2 hours of zumba non-stop now when I could barely walk 15 minutes before.  I can do like 100 squats with 45 pounds on my back.  I can do push-ups.  I can do burpees and jump between them. I have lost 50.75 inches total. I have gone down more than 22.4% body fat, not really sure on that one because I didn't check it until about 2 months in and haven't checked it since April (darn broken machine). I have gone down 13.9 BMI points.  I have dropped my glucose levels from diabetic to normal.  I have dropped my cholesterol to healthy numbers.  I have lowered my blood pressure to a healthy score.  All of those things are so much more important to me than a silly number on the scale.

Weigh In and Goals

Today's weight is 170.8.  I have joined a Thanksgiving challenge on 3FC with a goal of 140-160 by T-day.  The 160 is easy enough, but I would really like to hit the 140.  Since lowering my carbs I have been losing an average of 2.2 pounds each week, so that should be achievable.  I have a personal challenge of getting down to a size 6 by Christmas as well.  I am currently in a 10.

Lowered carb

I've gone low (ish) carb.  I went to the doc and got my labs done.  The doc was happy with my numbers, I was not.  They were all within normal ranges, but they were not as good as my last results.  That is not the direction I want to be going in.  My solution to that and to the slow weight loss is to lower my carbs.  I am doing it with percentage, not grams.  I allow the amount of food I take in to vary as needed, so my carb gram count would vary with it.  I am aiming to keep my carbs at or below 40%.  I started this last month and lost 13 pounds in 16 days.  Then I went on vacation and off plan.  I gained 10.6 pounds.  I've been back on plan for 4 days now and have already lost 5.8 of those pounds.

Today's weight: 173.6
