What can I say... January is going to end very well. I'm on course. I'm motivated and I'm not wanting for anything! I've had sweets, I've had pasta, I've had red meat...
But I know come February 15th, I'm going to hit that wall. I'm going to have to buckle down. I'm going to have to take that next step in healthy eating and cutting out the things I don't need. But I'm ready! Bring it on! I don't plan to end February with anything less than 8 lbs of useless, lumpy fat off this body. 8 lbs... that's alot of FAT.
To get a good idea of what I've accomplished in January alone, I went to the internet to look at things that weigh 10 lbs. (as I plan to finish the month at around 11-15lbs lost, may as well use 10 lbs as my visual). The one I fancied the most was a sack of potatoes. I got a sac of lumpy potatoes off this body in the month of January.
So then I thought... wonder what that really looks like. So I looked up 10 lbs of FAT. What I saw disgusted me. 1 lb of fat equals the size of a coffee mug. So 10 lbs.. OH MY GOSH! So I had my visual on the fat, my idea of the feel of the weight. Then realized that what I had to destroy was 12 TIMES THAT AMOUNT! That is a lot of FAT!
Each month that passes I'll look at the size of what I'm dumping from my frame. I will measure myself as well because, let's face it... weight is just a number. If I build muscle, the scale is no longer going to be my friend as muscle weighs more than fat.
1 month almost down and I have a solid plan in place already that has been more than effective. I feel confident in my ability to change my patterns and thinking about food. Now let's see what the results will be!
