20 Pounds GONE BYE BYE !!

I know its been a while since I posted. I have been struggling this month. Not that I have been eating crappy. Well maybe a crap food here and there but nothing like I used to eat. I have been struggling with eating enough calories to keep up with my activity. I lost 3 pounds in July and ALL of it was lean muscle mass!! Not good. I have been doing a lot in the yard. So I am sure that was a lot of it. But I just get so busy I forget to eat. Which is not good. So this month my goal is to not loose any muscle.

On the brighter side. I am down 20 pound and 4.5% of my BMI since I started this journey. I have learned a lot about myself and my body. I was at the dentist office the other day. We have been going there for along time and they are all practically family. I sit behind the desk and talk to the girlie's there. Well they are all on a loose weight kick. They had a scale and I just jumped on it. Didn't even think twice about them seeing how much I weigh. Because I think the number has now become a number and it doesn't matter how much you weigh its how you feel about the way you look. I still don't feel 100% good about my self but I feel a lot better. I also feel more energy and want to actually do things. Other than sit and watch TV.

I took KayDee school shopping the other day and I tried on some pants and I am down from a very tight 18 to a comfortable 16 which means soon down to a 14. I would love to just be a 10. Like I have said before I am not looking to be a tooth pick just a healthy weight for my hight and my body frame.

I have also been reading this book "Eat Right for Your Blood Type." Its pretty interesting. I am seeing that some of the food that is not for my blood type is food that makes my tummy upset. Like Dairy! Its pretty interesting I recommend reading it.

Well I guess I will get back to work or at least start to work on painting KayDee's room.
