Skin NSV - I had a belly button piercing for a number of years before I got pregnant and then took it out for good. Ever since then, I can always tell when I'm finally losing weight because of the way the stretch marks around it get wrinkly before my skin adjusts/tightens. This time I'm trying to lose the weight slower so my skin has more time to process!
Editing to add - lose the weight slower and keep it off!
Wearing a purse of mine crossbody. 45 lbs ago it barely went over my shoulder and boobs. Now it hangs down properly and is comfortable to wear that way. Woohoo!
My Tuesday/Thursday morning workouts are cardio, and the warmup is always the same - shuffle, jump rope, squat to knee strike, lateral lunge, sumo squat walk. When I started the program 8 weeks ago, I could barely hold the sumo squat, let alone step forward and backward like the trainer was telling me to; the best I could do was a wide-legged stance shifting from one foot to the other. This morning I managed to stay low (knees bent almost 90 degrees) and take 8 steps. My hips still don't love it, but they're getting better at it!
I was going into the office today and ended up having to wear jeans, all of my proper trousers were baggy or otherwise weird looking.
I also had a bunch of polite feedback so that was nice affirmation especially since I haven’t really lost weight since November. I sort of decided to maintain over the holidays in order to slow my roll a little but also went on a slight candy bender that wasn’t supposed to happen... I’m holding steady at my all time low again now and will see if I can slowly lose a couple of more kg this spring to bring me into the healthy BMI.
Took chip out of bag. Looked at it, put it back in. Made a salad, with some frozen blueberries and a little cereal for crunch in unsweetened vanilla coconut milk for dessert.
I can get my wedding rings off my fingers again! They had been stuck on there for about a year. Scale hasn't moved this week somehow, but getting the rings off and on my finger is a great victory.
