So I've been sick lately and just feeling generally rundown but I was feeling pretty good today! I ended up exercising a little with weights, taking progress pictures and even cooking a delicious healthy dinner! I just wanted something to remind myself that every little bit DOES count. I realized that I'm just a little over 30 lbs from my goal right now and it's time to step up my game! Here are my progress pictures from last year at around 200lbs and then tonight at around 182 lbs. I know the angles are a bit off and it's not a ton of weight but I feel like I even stand straighter now! :) I lost about 5 lbs last year by starting to watch my sugar and carb intake (and learning about GI for foods) due to high glucose tests. Then in January I joined MFP and have lost another 15 more lbs by really being dedicated to tracking my calories. I'm just starting to get the fitness bug now too so I'm hoping the weight loss will only improve! :happy: :happy: :happy:
