Day 174 - Week 25Its been 24 complete weeks now and here are my latest numbers:
Weight: 180.8 down from: 184.4 started at: 261
BP: 98/54 down from: 106/63 started at: 153/92
Pulse: 46 down from: 50 started at: 88
BMI: 24.5 started at: 35.4
Total weight lost after 24 full weeks on MWL - 80.2 lbs! WhooHoo! I've met another goal. I am officially no longer an overwieght statistic anymore. I am now at a "normal" weight Another 3.6 lbs down this week. Definitely dropped some stored water I was holding on too. Which is why I do my official weigh-ins once a week. The daily variability is just too great (or too little depending on your expectations
). I probably held onto 1.5 lbs of water bloat the past week alone. I've lost on average 0.46 lbs per day since I started MWL, thats amazing I think
And look at my BP and Pulse! Both are new lows! Some might even say they are too low. But I know from experience that they are now in my normal range
Now I have to set another goal and that will be to get into the "thin" healthy BMI range, (18.5 - 21.9). I will reach that range at a weight of 161 lbs, which is just another 19.8 lbs away. At my current weight loss that will take about 3 months. So my prediction is just after Thanksgiving Day I will reach this next goal.
B: oatmeal with flax and cinnamon
L: mixed veggies with salsa
nectarine and clementine
D: baked potato and sweet potato
grapes
S: baby carrots and nectarine
E: 45 mins walking - 5,362 steps. Stair climbing - d/u/d/d 17 floors. Total steps for day - 10,857 steps.
M: 10 mins
TM: none
Felt great today. My stair climbing has started to become routine. I'm no longer wiped out after I climb 17 floors. My legs don't give out anymore. And I know I have plenty of energy to do a few more floors. I'm definitely getting stronger and healthier everyday. What more could I ask for
In 4 days I take my next bloodwork. I'm hoping for some great results based on all my efforts and current stats or at least to have all my numbers in the normal range instead of wildly out.
I feel real good today about where I'm at. My mood is decidedly better and I just feel happier. Isn't that what this is all about?!
Even work didn't get me down today, what more can I say
I just feel real good now!
