Down another 0.2 this week, which is, as the title says, better than a poke in the eye. I’m at 182.8, down a total of 103.4.
I’ve decided my goal weight is somewhere around 165. This is 10 lbs higher than the BMI recommends for my height, but as you probably read, the BMI is bogus for a number of reasons. I don’t think it’s a realistic number for me, anyway; I want to be comfortable and not starving all the time. I’m fairly muscular now, and rather small on top (actually fit in a small shirt last week at Macy’s) but have a lot of junk in the trunk. With all the squats I’m doing now I’d like to think the fat is covering lots of muscle, but it’s hard to be sure!
At the rate I’m going, it will take me way over a year to accomplish this goal. Yikes.
We still have a substitute leader at my meeting, and the ranks have been very thin; we miss our cranky leader, and aren’t happy about all the perkiness this substitute leader brings. I hope she comes back soon!
