Something very strange was happening with my stomach/gut last night and this morning, so I'm not sure how accurate this weigh-in is, but I still lost so I'll take it! The official weight this morning was 194.2lbs, which is only a 0.6lb loss from last week BUT....that marks the 40 lbs total loss since I started this journey in last June! FORTY POUNDS. (I did a whole picture post on MFP of my progress if you want to see that.)
But for this blog, I want to take a second to really think about how much 40 lbs is. When I was born, I weight 8 lbs and 6 oz. I LOST MORE THAN FOUR BABY MEs. I use a 10lb kettlebell in my workouts. I LOST FOUR OF THOSE. My boyfriend's cat is about the size of a 20 lb turkey. I LOST TWO OF STRETCH! I know these sound silly, but sometimes when you have a long weight loss journey, 40 lbs can get lost in the thoughts of "but I still look fat" and "I still have so much more to lose" or "how come when SHE loses 40 lbs, she looks like a f*&$ing model." Forty pounds is a lot. BE PROUD OF YOURSELF, ME!
Anyways, enough of that. I am proud, even though I do know I have so much more to go. And going off of that, I am starting the 100 push-up challenge today. I vow to do 100 pushups everyday for 30 days! I took some starting pictures of my arms in hopes that they will be BALLER AWESOME when I finish this! Ha.
Weight=194.2lbs; BMI= 27.86 (Overweight); Body Fat=26.65% (Acceptable)
Time to get moving for the day. Cheers!
