July 1 - 126.8
GOAL - 124 (breaking the 125 barrier would be huge)
loss: 2.8
This morning: 122.8, so goal met and 4 down for the month.
This morning ends a 12 week challenge I was doing for myself. I was tracking calories, macros, sugar and fiber. I don't think I ever really nailed that but it did wildly increase my awareness of how much I was eating. I knew I ate pretty healthy in that I don't do fast foods or fried things or any red meats, but wow -- when I looked at the numbers it was illuminating. Too much food and still not healthy enough. So that was helpful.
Anyway, I started 12 weeks ago at 134.8 so that's 12 lbs in 12 weeks (it didn't come off evenly like that though!).
I'm going to keep going. I left a soul crushing job to start a new one in April and around the same time that I wanted my life back, I also wanted my body back. I started the soul crushing job at 118lbs, so my goal is to get back to that since I used to feel good at that weight. I also need to get stronger and more fit too like I was then.
So I'll see you in August for more until I hit that goal weight.
Hope folks had a good July loss that they worked towards, and see you in the August challenge!
