One Pound.

One little tiny pound. That is all I have left until I hit 100 pounds lost!

I remember getting to ONEderland, which was my first goal. Then I set my next goal of losing a total of 100 pounds. I think I will get that pound off in the next few days so I have already set my next goal.

My next goal - lose half of my size. That means another 40 pounds.

In another 40 pounds I will be in the healthy weight range for my height.

I looked up my BMI from when I was at my heaviest and I was Super Obese... WHAT? I actually had no idea the category super obese existed. That is fatter than morbidly obese..... and NOT super.



I have now gotten my BMI from 52 to 32!

That means I am in the Obese category BUT look how far I have come. I am not Super, Morbidly, or Severely Obese.  I weigh the least I have weighed in probably 18 years or so. SO that is phenomenal to me. I am so addicted to this process and to Whole30 and becoming strong that I know nothing will stop me. I will see 140 and have an ideal BMI.

Yesterday I returned some size 14s I got at Old Navy that were too big. I grabbed size 12s and couldn't believe it. They fit great! One cut was even big in a 12 so I tried the 10 and it fit. SERIOUSLY? Now I know Old Navy runs SLIGHTLY big, but still I bought at size 10 y'all.
For me this is absolutely HUGE. I am so freaking proud. When you start feeling proud and motivated and the people around you see the hard work and dedication it continues to push you.

I bought this shirt yesterday to help me get to my next goal.



My new motto! 

So I have ONE pound left and ONE month left since I started this journey. 


Here is my current photo comparison. 






This got me thinking I wonder what I look like in my before clothes!!! 






The pants don't even stay on my hips anymore. If I wiggle they fall off. SO CRAZY!!! 

I seriously credit my success to Whole30. It has completely changed my life. It is an easy lifestyle change that clicked with me. I don't think it's hard to eat this way for the rest of my life. I don't find myself feeling deprived. I have the energy to workout everyday without ever being hungry or feeling like I am being denied anything. I SWEAR TO YOU if you have not tried Whole30  and you want to get fit - this program will get you there. Eat clean and whole and get your body moving. If you don't give up in a few months but give it TIME you will see the reward. 

I am succeeding but I haven't finished the story of my success! I am going to keep persisting.

FITSPO

So maybe I have been under a rock but I just heard about this whole "thinspo" ban from pinterest, tumblr, instagram etc. I was never into "thinspo" because I don't want to look like a stick. Example of thinspo BUT NOW they are talking about if fitspo is also a negative thing. Example of fitspo  There are mixed emotions about fitspo. I personally think that it is beneficial to me. I don't beat myself up and it doesn't make me have an unhealthy view of my body or make me do crazy things like starve myself. It motivates me to go to the gym which I need to be doing. This is from the new york times about fitspo being the new thinspo " But in our rush to focus on health -- or at least the perceived appearance of health -- we’re simply setting up a new idealized figure to chase after, and not necessarily one that is any better for us. What kind of monster is against health? This kind, I suppose. While I mightily dig the notion of ind...

Crossfit and a sex doll.

I have been working out pretty consistently and have been weightlifting for a while, but I decided that I wanted to do something more. I have been thinking about trying CrossFit but I am scared to do it alone. I mentioned the idea to my husband and he said he was interested in trying it too. I am really interested in lifting heavy and getting more physical strength.  I am really proud that I have lost over 100 pounds, but I will say my body isn't exactly how I imagined it would be. I pretty much feel like this...  It's weird how your body just kind of deflates. My skin is weird. I am not really comfortable with my arms or thighs - hello short and tank top season. I also hoped my stomach would go away and while it is smaller it's just a smaller deflated version of what it was. I was morbidly obese and had a child. My stomach will probably never be viewed by anyone and that is fine, but when you look at this as motivation  and then you get...

Health and Beauty

This morning after my multi hour internet health blog and pinterest binge I was wondering should I be taking supplements? My husband drinks protein powder after he works out but he is big and not trying lose weight but build muscle. I want to build muscle too because ultimately I want to actually have a fit body not just lose weight. I wonder if I am supposed to lose the fat first and do weights obviously while I am losing weight but then once I get most of the fat gone and want to be a more serious muscle builder THEN take supplements? I don't even know if I want to take supplements. For some reason I feel like taking pills and powders is unhealthy. Maybe because I have a past with the whole diet pills, meal replacements etc. I don't think those work and I think they are a waste of my time and money. I want to do something that is good and right for my body. I want to eat FOOD not take short cuts that eventually fail me. There isn't a magic powder or pill thats going to ...
