my WAG
I anticipate 9 weeks from now. Not that i am wishing away precious time or anything…it’s tough visualizing my svelt-self. Literally because visualizing even an orange in technicolor is not my forte. Feelings and words seem to affect me the most: That’s why i’ve come up with a ‘photoshopped’ concept of what is to be.
How long it takes me to get there is directly proportional to the fervor with which i approach the fitness aspect of my life.
Despite the curve balls thrown in between dropping off kiddo at school, working, prepping dinner, reviewing schoolwork. I have been going at it. And i know it is simply a matter of time.
But how much time? I wish I knew the answer. I haven’t been at or below 20% bodyfat since i was 14 years old: I will try to be realistic and technical about my WAG (wild a– guess).
Being that it’s taken at least 3 years for me to accumulate the sizeable stash of lipid energy that i currently carry on, it’s a matter of more calories out than in. Ok, if i were to burn at least 1 to 2lbs of fat per week, it would theoretically take between 14 and 28 weeks to have incinerated that much in fat cell stores.
Considering:
1)I’ve been eating nothing but what’s good for me (including those "you can cheat" days) for the last 38 out of 45 days, and
2) So far bodyspace bloggers affirm that i have been making decent progress, and
3) My jeans are starting to fall past my hips[!]
These things weighed, leave me with a WAG in line with my Memorial Day goal. Still wish i could ’see’ it in my mind’s eye. Guess for now i’ll print out and pin up a few copies of the obviously doctored photo of me head atop a muscular work of human art and smile…
=D
