*drum roll please*

Hey! Guess what?! Today's WI day!

Oh boy, I was a little nervous, but I stepped on the scale and BAM! 157.6 this morning! Heck yes! I haven't lost this consecutively umm... *runs to check my WI page* EVER! This. Is. Incredible! I am *so* proud of myself, I can't even believe it. I have tracked everything that goes into my mouth, although I do need to work on accurate portions. I've been working out, although I need to work-out more.

The only thing I want to complain about (just for a minute) is the amount that I'm loosing. Before someone gets mad at me and lets me know that I am in the healthy weight lose for each week, I know that. And I have no one to blame but myself for slowly loosing. I need to work on my portion sizes. I really would like to get a food scale so I can see if my potato I eat each morning is actually a small potato in the tracker, and that my guesstimation of 3 ounces of chicken breast is accurate. I might pick one up this weekend actually. I never rewarded myself for my 160 goal, so that might be it.

All things aside, another positive thing has come out of this WI: I'm not longer obese! I never really felt obese, even when I was 180, I just felt fat. Alas, according to my BMI -- which I think is kind of full of balogna -- I was obese. My BMI was 34.0 when I started my WLJ last May. Today, I am 29.7 - a full 0.2 under the highest for my height. I am quite proud of myself for sticking it out.

The highest healthy BMI I can have and be considered healthy is at 132. That's really little. I don't know that I could get down to that. My first goal is going to be 140 and we'll see how I look when I'm there. I don't have a certain size I want to get down to, heck I'm already in a size 4, and I don't even have a number that I want to see on the scale, but I want to love how my body looks. I want to be comfortable in clothes that fit me, and in a bathing suit. I want to wear skirts and dresses in the summer, and shorts! Ahh well, I'll just keep trucking along.

Stay tuned for my February goals this afternoon!

Happy Hump Day!
