Okay... today I read about how sometimes, God gives us exactly what He knows we want just so we can see what happens when we put ourselves in charge... this actually answers a lot of questions I've been asking myself... like "did God KNOW I was gonna do that?"
All I know is... I don't like what happens when I'm in charge, lol ...
Weight is continuing to come down steadily!! I'm 136.6 today, and I bought a new bathing suit! I was trying to figure out which one I liked best of the two I purchased (I'm taking one back), so I had Mom take pictures of me. Then it clicked-- hey, I can post these to my blog!
I am just under 137 right now, which is my "happy" weight according to Self.com's Happy Weight Calculator ... which means it's the weight that I'll finally start noticing the changes in my body. And I do!! It's exciting! I'd like to get to 130, but not so that I'm smaller--I'm happy with my size-- but I'd like to turn about 6 more pounds of fat into muscle.
SO... PICTURES!!!!!
Here's me (left) in early August in Key West... I think I was about 145 right here... a snug size 8. I like to excuse the pic on the right as simply a bad angle... and it was, but there's more to it than that. (NOTE: click on the pics to make them larger).
And here I am at the history center downtown... photo courtesy of viktor. Shorts were tight and I kept having to pull them out of my butt, lol... and check. out. those. thighs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And here I am with Viktor mid-August in St. Augustine... I don't want to talk about it. I was about 148 at this point I believe. Maybe even more than that! And a REALLY tight size 8.
And one last pic: a pic of me in my workout wear (with a crab leg... weird, yes-- but I wanted to show my friend how big they were lol).. about 144 here. After I stopped eating all the junk food, 4-5 lbs dropped off of me really quick. But I was really really flabby. (note thighs!!)
...............
AND HERE I AM TODAY! over 12 pounds GONE! I say "before and NOW" pics, because it's not really "after" yet...
Here's me at 136.6 (almost 12 lbs down from 148) in my new tankini... still need more work on the thigh area, but there has been a lot of improvement!
And here I am in my workout gear earlier:
So you guys know I've been doing kickboxing and lifting major weight... I thought this pic really shows the result of some of that work (see left arm ;-)) I LOVE KICKBOXING!!!!!!!!!
My shoulders are sculpted and I have biceps. WHOA! (ignore the silly look on my face, I was really busting a few moves for my mom when she had the camera, lol... got pretty into it!!)
Here's to continued progress!!!!!!!!!!!!!
