WHOO HOO!! "NEW" OLD LOW OF 141.0!!!! THAT'S A 22.08 BMI, FRIENDS!!!!
How have I been doing it? By being HUNGRY sometimes
Fucking sucks but at the point of my cycle, it's easier than say, Day 22
At work if I get hungry for snacks, and I already have had some, I drink green tea. This won't work forever, and I dunno if I'll be 141 tomorrow, but I haven't seen 141 since August 2007, and that was a brief interlude before my weight climbed back up to the mid 140s, then the upper 140s, then back to 155 in December. Nonetheless, yesterday I ran when I didn't feel like it, and was happy about it later. My scratchy throat is getting better, and Chris came over to comfort me after my painful facial
This morning I was stoked at my naked reflection in the mirror
Fuck yeah! For whatever reason being 4 pounds away from my lowest goal for my desired range is way cooler than being 7-5 pounds away. Don't ask me why. Anyway, I was stoked because (and you women can totally understand why I was stoked about this) my actual breasts aren't deflated or much smaller. The chest area and upper back is thinner, which means, yeah, if my arms are out to the side you can sort of see my ribs in the middle of my chest, too--so my cleavage ain't what it used to be. Whatever--this is a fair trade-off for the fact that my thighs are slimmer, and I can see the muscle definition of the inner part. My belly is looking really flat, and my love handles are receding so that my butt looks even more round, since the lower back is getting smaller. I don't think my butt is any smaller, which is great. I love my butt and I've never had any complaints
But yes, I've had complaints about the backfat
No prob, I don't have a boyfriend so I don't have any drive to seek adulation or reinforcement of my attractiveness
Soon, I'll be looking for a CATSUIT to sport--LMFAO!!!
Ok here are some pictures of me in my running clothes, sans makeup, all sweaty or post race. One is of me winning the Santa Cruz Mountains 10K Trail race in September for women; I think I was 146 that morning but I don't remember. Shit. I bet if I went back to that date in this thread I could find out.....and the other one is me and my grandpa and my 2nd cousin posing for a shot in my grandparents' backyard, after we all took 1st place for the San Ramon 5K race on July 4th this year; I think I was 144 that morning.
In the one where I'm running, I was having a difficult time and the race really was strenuous and mentally difficult. But I'm a ham for the camera and a showboat--no fucking way was I going to look all strained and pained for the picture. Note the bar stamp on my right inner wrist from the night before
In the group shot with my Boss Tycoon Male Family Members, my mom specifically told me to collapse my chest because my boobs were sticking out too much, in her opinion. It reminded me of ANTM--Sam would know what I was talking about! LOL
No sweating allowed for 2 days, so no intense cardio until Thursday. BOO!
Glad you could stop by! Thank you so much, it was a fucking STRUGGLE fraught with PLATEAUS to get here, damn! Thanks!
