Numbers

Weight loss is all about numbers.  Not just the number on the scale or on the waist band of the pants your trying to squeeze into but the number of hours number of calories number of days.

I am happy to say that at the 5 week mark on Monday (see a number), I am firmly above the 5% (another number) weight loss for this mini goal.  I so want to increase the goal, start the 10 weeks over, loose 10% starting from here.

But I’m not,  I am sticking with this number for now with this original goal.  Still trying to loose 10% of my body weight (FAT weight) in 10 weeks.  I am officially at 15 pounds (11 in June).  I want to tell everyone.  But really I saw the video of me crossing the finish line and hell I can’t tell by looking so what is someone going to say,  to be polite….oh really, (eyebrow raising), good for you.

Although I do have to say recently my friend Katherine did say “I can tell you’ve lost weight I was walking behind you and there wasn’t as much butt as before.”

I tracked my calories every single day in June.  The average for the month is 1568 a day.  Some days less, some days more but that is what the average is from June 1 to June 30th.   It is exactly in the range I was shooting for.

So my exercise Totals for June is about 21 hours and over 80 miles in cardio EIGHTY  I think that is the number in this post that surprised me the most.  Now I wont have a 13 mile run in July so I am sure I wont make these total again this month but for June I am quite pleased with the numbers.  (break down in separate post)

I also got to go to About and change  the number 50 to 40.  Its all about the numbers, and today’s number is 14.  Thats’ what size pants my ass fit in today!

    Weight loss is often about the numbers – and there are so many to keep track of! However, one’s beliefs and emotions can have a huge impact on the ease with which one can lose weight.
