more pnds to go!   to hit first goal.

and i have to admit , the treadmill has not felt my feet pounding upon it for awhile.  just been eating better and less.  funny how when you watch your intake your actual stomach capacity does shrink.  i knew that already of course but i find sometimes now i will eat a regular helping and other times i am just not as hungry for half of that.  make sense!   well, now 5 more melted AWAY.   yes!  i calculate that since my last journal, 4 weeks, that is 1.25 drop per week from just eating better.  and that is the healthy way to lose it.  slowly and steadily.  when i workout i average about a 2-2.5 drop per week.  that is also the rec. healthy approach to keeping it off.

anyhow i feel the need to get up and run some. so back to the treadmill.  yeh, i KNOW i said that already but now since i am only 7 away from goal, that treadmill will aid toward this attainable victory.

its funny, now i am able to wear my hubbys jeans-  okay backtrack.... he weighs more than me, duh!  BUT he is thin in the hips and legs.  so his jeans now fit me, someone with hips and whatnot.  ha!   and my jeans?  it looks like i pooped my pants after an hour of wearing them cuz they are sagging to the ground.  and i am NOT gangster!

actually now my bmi is at a healthy weight.  and, at my current weight i am on target for my height,
which is 5 ft. 9.   so i am GOOD with it.  in reality i have already reached my goal.  20 pnds was sufficient.

but onward we go.  and i only step on the scale occasionally.  it can lie. did you know that?  yep.  do not step on it for at least one week.  once you see a steady set weight for about 5 days than consider THAT your new 'number'.    i really just judge by my clothes. as i have said before, clothes are the only true indicator of weight. they do NOT lie ;)

so that's that.  all i got to say about it.  i want to get back into cardio, meaning treadmill running/incline walk.  i loved it so much.  i fell of the mill so to speak.  but i feel the desire uprosing again.   once that hits, i am on it with much love. ha!  no, really.  i do enjoy it.  the run!  the sweat.  the feeling of being fit.  oh and the joy i get from the afterglow of drenched hair and rag wet tshirts.  now THAT shows progress.

chow.
