My Virtual model
I have found a really fascinating Google gadget. It is a virtual weight loss model. You can select a before model and a goal weight model. It is amazing to see how you would look at your goal weight.
My weight loss challenge seems to be going well so far. I am eating better than before. And I have started to see some changes in my physique already. My jeans are starting to get baggy on me and my clothes are starting to just fit better overall. And for the first time in years I was brave enough to pick up a tape measure and take my measurements.
My measurements were not all that bad.
Bust 42″ Waist 42″ and Hips 48″
I must admit I am mystified as to how it is possible that my chest and my waist are the same. But I suppose that will change as I lose more weight. Now as far as the scale is concerned, I am avoiding it. The last time I did one of these challenges I was obsessed with the scale. I weighed myself everytime I was anywhere near the scale. And I was devastated when I didn’t see changes in the numbers. So this time around I am more concerned with how my clothes are fitting me. Many of my weight loss mentors, have said that the way your clothes fit is a better indicator of your weight loss. And if that is the case I have lost a on of weight. And I feel like I am thinner also.
Now my exercise regime has been fun to say the least. I have found a new way to do squats. I throw my 5 yr old son on my back and listen to him giggle while I do my squats. I enjoy hearing him giggle so much I always end up laughing also. And I don’t think I would mind doing bench presses, if I could get kisses from my babies at the same time.
I has been almost three weeks since the challenge started. Only five more to go. I hope I can hold on that long. I can’t lie it has been rough because when I feel stressed I want to eat everything under the sun. But I have to remind myself that I have a goal.
Keep praying for me to be strong willed.
