Ok so I'm going to complain here for a second before we get down to business, why? Because I'm sick AGAIN! Third time so far this fall/winter. I was only sick twice last year! Ridiculous really.
Anyways.... On to the good news! My personal trainer tested my Body Fat % again today. We were both very surprised and happy to see how much the number has changed in such a short amount of time. When we checked it for the very first time (which I wish I had my numbers from when I first started this journey, but I wasn't very good at keeping track of everything) I was at 199 pounds.. my body fat percentage was a staggering obese 36.3%...... YIKES! We tested it a second time at 184.4 pounds and my body fat was at 33.9%... still pretty freaking ugly. But... drum roll please.... hahaha.. at 173.0 pounds it is at 30.0%!! I am now in the "average" percentile!! YAY! [at 24% I will be in the fitness range]
I also changed my waist measurement by quite a lot, when I measured for my wedding dress (I was still in the 200s) it was 46 inches and now my waist is 39.5 inches. Also my pant size, in the very beginning, was a very tight fitting 22/24 and now (depending on the brand) I fit into a size 10 or 12. My size 12 New York & Co. Jeans are soon retiring, they are getting too big. I actually had to steal my husbands belt to keep them at my waist.
All the news really made my day. Especially with being sick, I needed something to cheer me up. It really helped me get through my workout today.
Thanks for reading everybody!
