UPDATED: Holy Sugarpants!
July 17, 2008
A mere six days from when I told you I was freaking out about the size of the bridesmaid dress, and a lot has happened.
Monday and Wednesday night I spent at the gym doing my strength training routine TWICE, with Homie G. We did every exercise twice with a short rest between. It was amazing to both of us how quickly I bounced right back into it considering I hadn’t seen her in about a month. (I had been working out regularly, but she gives me that extra push kick in the ass) I see her again tomorrow morning.
Tuesday, Wednesday and this morning, I walked for an hour. I’ve been mostly careful about what I’m eating and making sure to fuel my body more often as per the book I didn’t buy. I flipped through it in Chapters and opted not to spend the $30.
So after I left the gym today, I was sick and tired of all my pants and capris falling down and hanging weird like I was one of those punk ass kids with their jean crotch down to their knees. So I decided to try on a pair of jeans.
I took the size I’ve been stuck at and the next size down (which happens to be the dress size) and you know where this is going, right?
I tried on what I thought was my size. Too big. Wait, what? Too big? Oh. Em. Gee.
When I tried on the next size down, they fit no problem! I’ve reached my 1st goal weight!
Now, I’m not stopping. My final goal is a few sizes more which would put my BMI in a healthy range.
Finally, something is working!
Update, 11:00 p.m. OMG you guys - how nice to come back a few hours after posting this to all this support!!!!
Thank you so much. To celebrate, the boys and I had the healthiest baked nachos I could muster (whole wheat chips, grilled chicken, lots of veggies, blah blah) and watched The Golden Compass and Jumper - it’s 11 and I just tucked them in.
What a great day all round! I’d better hit the sack though or I’m going to be pretty darn tired for my morning workout with Homie G!!
Thanks again - your comments and encouragement is so heartwarming and motivating. *smooch*

Way to go!! I knew you could do it!
Did that flush thing have anything to do with it? I didn’t think so. It’s all that exercise that you do. Keep up the good work!

Congrats!
You are seriously an inspiration to get my lazy bum to the gym (I’m not overweight, just too young to be out of shape, oi).

Well done.
Just remember that the BMI can be misleading. Before I got sick (and actually became fat), my BMI said I was obese at 5′6″ and 185 lbs (1.67 M and 83.9 KG) despite having ~8% bodyfat.
‘Course, not everyone’s a musclehead like I was…

Sorry.
