Alright, I made a decision. I'm going to keep working out and counting calories. I assume I'll keep losing for a while and I'll plateau at some point in the not-so-far future. If I had to guess a number, I'd say somewhere around 138. That'd be about 7 lbs lower than I am now and about 6-10 lbs more than I was in HS. Solidly in the healthy range. (Side note: Steve and I were talking about this and he said, "so you think BMI is BS but you're still going by it?" Um, yes. And no, I don't have a great reason why. The closest I could come up with is because some doctors go by it and I don't want to be happy with me just to have a doctor tell me I should lose a few lbs. I know, who cares? I do.) So that is my plan. Nice and ambiguous, lol.
Okay, week 4 is back to TF cardio! I'm sore but so happy. And then I looked at the schedule for the next few weeks...after this week, there's only one TF WO each week until week 9! Most of the cardio is Burn Intervals or Burn It Off. They work, they're effective, they're not my favorite. My wonderful friend Amy suggested subbing a Fire or HIIT WO for some of those, because she did CLX and it does get repetitive. Brilliant!
In other news, one pair of jeans that I wore at goal last summer are getting a bit loose. So are my favorite pj pants. Nora almost pantsed me this morning. This is exciting news! But I'm a little sad too, when I'm shrinking out of favorite clothes. Looks like I may need to go shopping again soon. Or at least pull more old clothes out of my closet to see what fits. Um, confession: I have clothes packed away from HS. I think one pair of jeans is even from 8th grade. I doubt I'll wear most of them now, but it'd be nice to see if they fit. I'm apparently looking younger now too. My baby sister is 22 and beautiful. She went to a girls' night out with me and people were asking if we were twins and which one of us is older! I'm 27, a full 5 years older than her, plus I've had 3 kids. Talk about an ego boost! Want to look younger? Eat healthy, work out, drink tons of water. I also recently started using face lotion consistently. I think it was a combo of getting older and dry winter skin, but I have this persistent line across my forehead that is getting deeper. The lotion seems to have helped a bit. But the biggest thing that makes me look younger is definitely that I'm much thinner and more confident now.
Go work out! It's an endorphin rush, burns calories, relieves stress, and so many other good things! And it just could make you look younger. ;)
