Not where I want to be yet, but I can get into my kilt and look pretty okay in it.

You look great in them - I have a soft spot for men in kilts. But most of all well done!

I declined the regional treat for Mardi Gras offered at the office today. In Sweden it’s traditionally a large cardamom bun with almond paste and whipped cream. I decided the store-bought kind isn’t tasty enough and passed. Maybe I’ll have a mini home-made one at my parents’ house at a later date, maybe not.

*sigh* me too - the soft spot for men in kilts, that is. Not to mention the blousey, laced shirts and tunics that usually go with them.......lol

I mentioned it in one of my groups, but I had a nice NSV yesterday evening: I saw a dress in the store that I liked, and thought, since there was a sale, that I'd be daring and try on the 22W. Except I ended up needing to go back and get the 20W because the 22W was too baggy in the front! The 20W was just a bit snugger than I'd usually wear, but still looked good. This is for someone who started out in a 30W! Of course, I know that it was the style of dress, but it was still nice!

The day I get into an 18W will be huge for me - that size was always my pipe dream, something that I was wistful about but never thought possible - its a bit mind numbing to realize that I'm actually getting pretty close to that goal.

You're pretty jacked for a regular guy.

I was able to take my wedding ring off today for the first time in 6 years. ( I put it right back on though).

I went to Club Fitness today, where they have a state-of-the-art InBody270 Body Analysis machine. I was gauged via 4-point electrostatic resistance tests to have, , , wait for it, , , SEVENTEEN PERCENT BODYFAT, , , 17% !!! That and although my BMI is 28.1, (overweight) my muscle mass percentage is 124% of normal.

Sometimes I joke about how when I flex my arm muscles they droop and make a sad trombone noise like in cartoons. You know.



Usually my husband feels my arm and says I am not that bad, but yesterday he grabbed my arm and interrupted himself to say, "actually wow, your arms are like steel."

I have been working hard at the gym so it's nice it seems to be paying off even a little.

I just posted this on my feed. I had to have my mammogram yesterday and actually fit in a small gown! I commented to the technician about it and she asked how much weight I'd lost from my last one. When I told her she said the radiologist would think there's a mix-up comparing to my old films. Kind of sad since it's the one place I wish hadn't changed but I thought it was funny!

Totally resisted the siren call of pancakes, bacon, hashbrowns, and eggs cooked in basically lard the other day from a breakfast chain restaurant near me. Opted for a home-made egg white scramble with turkey sausage and an apple. The call was quite strong, I'm still feeling pretty proud from that!

Three days now I have resisted sweets in the office! I don't usually even want them but will grab something as I'm walking around just because it's there, for me it's all about mindfulness and paying attention to what I'm eating and not just eating out if boredom or convenience.

Someone bought a box of donuts for the office and I grabbed my rolls of lard on my stomach reminding myself I'm so close to goal, walk away!!! I walked away so fast they didn't even get to open it in my sight. It's so easy to "treat" myself with freebies shared daily. The real treat though long term is good health. I need to think long term rather than short term sugar high. Is this food I love going to love me back?

I bought a new work suit 4 months ago, and then the holidays happened and I went off script - today I can fit into it again! Feeling very well put together today.
@holli1ch today I GET to go for a short run on my lunch break and I feel pretty blessed by that.

Yes, now I'm nearly back to GW, the difference between my rib cage and my bust is 1.5 - 2", depending on whatever. I'd never thought I'd be a flapper, and there's still a bit too much at the back to properly do that, but yes.

And congrats on the small gown (and possibly confusing technicians in the best possible way)!!!

Just got back fro hospital where I had an eximination
The biggest problem was my heart monitor It kept bleeping as in full rest my HR sometimes goes below 40 and well that machine thought it not good.
Also noted It was hard to find good vein - they are sunken in between my finger bones
Nurse was saying I was so healthy all over that the equipment could not cope it it anymore. She also suspected my blood pressure would low just on looking at me (she was right).
She mentioned they do not often get patients that are in such good physical shape. I am actually proud of that :-)

Awesome job! I just cooked for the homeless and was in charge of refried beans one night. The head cook kept dumping beef fat in it, grossed me out as he ruined perfectly good beans but it made it easy not to eat! At my gym there's about 6 restaurants and the smell of grease is disgusting when I get there but after a hardcore workout it smells pretty good when I'm leaving. Out of all the restaurants the one I'd be least likely to eat at is a waffle house but I stare longingly at it craving a Belgian waffle with strawberries and whipped cream. Luckily I discovered it's closed when I leave!

I dumbbell bench pressed 90 pounds yesterday. I never thought I would be strong enough.
