So today I was waiting on some laundry to finish and decided to do my measurements. Now, this is the first time I've taken them since I started my weight loss quest about a month ago. I was so shocked! 3 inches!! One off my waist, hips, and thighs!
While I'm still stuck at only 3 lbs lost this means that I must be toning up! And I'm ok with that. I've always told myself that the number doesn't matter as long as I look good, feel good, and am healthy. So, this is what I've decided: even if I don't lose one more pound as long as I keep losing inches I'm ok with it! And as everyone knows muscle weighs more than fat anyway! Now, with my current revelation, I'm ready to share my weight. I've been him-and-hawing about doing this for a while, but after seeing my new measurements, I'm going for it!
January 1st, 2011 I weighed 170 lbs.
Shocking for such a small person right? But what's more shocking than that is that since having Elliot I've lost 30 lbs! The day I went in to deliver I weighed 201. . .Holy smokes that's a lot for a lady measuring only 5' 2". Take away my almost 9 lb baby and I've still lost 20 ish lbs. So, I still have 25 lbs till my pre pregnancy weight. We'll see how far I get! Today I'm only at 167 but those 3 inches mean I'm doing something right! So there you have it. My new confidence for the day : )
