Day 1! It’s a new day!

I started this journey 365 days ago.  Well actually a little longer but life put my weight loss on pause for about 6 months, so when I got back on the bandwagon it was 365 days ago.  I call today Day 1 because I am putting away what I did this last 365 day cycle and put focus on what I can do to make myself healthier & happier the next 365 days.

So this is the last blog that will say that I’ve lost 10 pounds.  Because I’m starting back over from zero.  This is the last time I will say I never made that mini goal because I have new mini goals in mind.  I won’t harp on what I didn’t get accomplished.  I will work to accomplish whats in the works for today.

One year ago and now stats:

Weight was 169 lbs now I am 159, a loss of 10 pounds in one year!

Waist was 38 inches now 30 inches a loss of 8 inches!

Hips were 45 in. now 39 in. a loss of 6 inches!

Chest was 44.5 in. now 35 in.  a loss of 9.5 inches!

Thighs were 29 in. now 24.5 in.  a loss of 5 inches!

Calves were 18.5 in now 15.5 in. a loss of 3 inches!

Biceps were 14.25 in now 13.25 in. a loss of 1 inch!

Neck was 15 in.  now 13.25 a loss of 1.75 inches!

Jeans size 14-16 now size 9-10-and depending on the brand 11! had to update this I’m in a size 8 jeans!

Body Fat was 47% obese now 33% healthy range a loss of 14% body fat!

BMI was 33.1 now 31.1 lost of 2.0 body mass.

How amazing are those figures!  My weight loss could have been better.   I’ve had a lot of ups and downs this year and a lot of maintains but despite it all my nutrition choices have helped me drop off that body fat moving me from obese to a healthy range.  Now I sit at the verge of overweight and healthy 33% is the cut off. But its a mass improvement from last year.  As far as my body mass I’m still technically obese but I’m knocking at the door of success.  Just a few short weeks ago I was down to 29.7 so I know a lower number is achievable, I’ve done it once and can do it again.  This is were the actual pounds count.

All of us who are cringing at the scale, I hope you are taking your measurements too.  My progress has not been wavering even though the scale has.  I am so proud of myself.

I’m aiming for

127 weight

24.9 BMI

25% body fat

Here’s to a new year!!!!!!!
