Back when I did Weight Watchers (and gained weight – one of those signs of insulin resistance that I didn’t quite recognize), before setting a final goal weight, they had a first goal of losing 10% of body weight.
I started out at 245, so my goal was 25 pounds. Today, I stepped on the scale, and it said 220. So that’s 25 lbs. in three months. The better part is how much I feel, physically. Maybe its kind of like when I used to go walking with my son in a baby backpack, when I took it off, I practically felt like i was floating. My muscles, straining under 245, find 220 a breeze, when 220 used to be a struggle.
However, I do think there is more muscle there than the last time I saw that weight, and that helps.
A vacation is coming up, so I don’t know how much I’ll be blogging, but I’m hoping to get more into the nuts and bolts of what I am doing and why it is good later. And, it will be garden time!!!
