Week 54
Another week of plugging along. BF% pinch up a mm, nothing to get too upset about. Weight was 169 again for a couple of days. The BF% pinches aren’t showing it, but in the mirror it sure looks like the BF% is down a bit more. My obs and serrats are (I think) showing the best that they have so far, and there’s an ever-so-slight hint of an adonis belt at times.
Gotta love people’s attitudes about getting fit and weight loss and all that. Today after Sunday brunch at our local Sunday brunch spot, we bumped into a neighbor from the "old neighborhood," an 80-something woman who’s the mom of my best friend growing up. After catching up and chatting she takes a good look at me and asks if I have lost weight. I said yes. She asks, "because you want to?" and again I said yes. "Why?" she asks. Geez. I just said, "Because I was getting too big." Why should this be such a mystery to people? I guess we are so bombarded with food and a stuff-your-face culture that getting fit is viewed as something out of the ordinary, despite the endless infomercials for the latest get-fit-without-the-effort-or-dedication widget.
Bought myself some new jeans this week and was really pysched that I was able to get them in the 33-in waist size, and they fit! They’re snug without being uncomfortable. Gotta be the first time in a LONG time that I have been able to fit into that size. Also tried to get myself an athletic cut dress shirt this week, but they didn’t have my neck size in the color I wanted, bummer. Have to keep trying back. I am just so enjoying this shopping for "better" sizes in my clothes, rather than having to look for the chunkier sizes.
Now that I am investing in the new clothes, I really gotta keep liftin’…
