As much as this is about making me feel better and my body functioning better, it's also about getting some fat off this body. So I dusted off the scales and the tape measure and came up with:
- Weight - disgusting.
- Hip Measurement - gross.
Yes, so I'm wimping out and not putting the numbers up. But let's just say that I've got 20kg to lose to get to my ideal weight, and 10kg to get back to the weight I was about this time last year (when I was just starting to feel good about how I looked). And I've taken my hip measurements because my stomach has always been my problem area so even on the weeks where I don't see scales movement (especially since I'm getting back into strength training - more on that in another post) I want to see that hip measurement go down. I have no idea what it should be, but according to one of my favourite online shopping sites I need to get rid of at least 15cm to get to the size I want.
So that's the end goal - 20kg and 15cm. Goneskis.
Right about now that seems absolutely freaking impossible, but the first focus is 5kg and 4cm lost. As with any new change in eating I'll probably lose some weight/cm just from being less bloated and improving circulation, so I'd love to think this can happen in the next four weeks. Which would bring me up to Christmas... and we all know what happens at that time. But at least I'll feel better about heading out for New Years Eve looking and feeling healthier.
