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.
