It's been 2 months since I've started this blog about my goal of losing weight for 2009. So far I have lost, begin the drum roll.......................20 pounds and 4 percent body fat. Yep, I've gone from 170 pounds to 150 pounds and 33 percent body fat to 29 percent.
I'm really proud of myself for starting a routine and sticking to it. However, I must note that 10 of those lost pounds were during my bout with mono. The fact that I was able to go back to the gym after a 3 week absence and still perform at the same level is a miracle. And though it sucked, the way I got mono was kinda fun. :D
And people are noticing. I work / talk to 2 trainers at the gym and they noticed the day I got back that the weight was gone. And today, a complete stranger who I've noticed but haven't talked to said "You're looking good. I remember when you first started and the weight has come off." OMG, that totally made my day. I'm pretty much a no one when I work out. I've got the hair pulled back in a messy pony tail, a pair of baggy shorts and tank top on, and my pink MP3 player going. It felt good to have an 'attagirl' in the middle of this lackluster weekend. :)
Be prepared, one of my blogs / rants is going to be about people who wear jeans / jean shorts to work out in. Seriously, WTF?
