January 2013 rocked! I totally kicked butt this month! I had zero days where I went totally crazy and ate and ate and ate! ZERO! That’s huge. Like monumentally.
This morning I weight 183.2 pounds, with a loss of 7.4 for the whole month.
Wow!
That’s a good month for me. Like it took me 12 months to lose 30 pounds last year… So as you can see I really kicked butt. In total inches I lost about 7 inches. Mostly from my belly, hips, and chest! I lost an inch in my hips, which is so exciting because I’ve been wearing a belt with a few pairs of my size 8 jeans, maybe, just maybe, I will fit in to a 6 soon. That will be a great day!
As for February 2013… I’m ready to kill it!
The How and Why…
– I mentioned the 28 Day Blog Challenge yesterday, everyday this month I will be making some changes to the blog to help improve it!
– I’m getting closer and closer to my goal weight. Officially on the BMI chart my ideal weight is 160 which still feels so far away, so I’m working towards 5 pound chunks. At each five pound increment, I’d like to access where my I’m at how I feel, if I want to lose more and then finally settle on a happy weight for me and my body. Another 5 lbs in February is perfect to help me reach these goals, of course no complaints if I lose more!
-I’d like to get to the point where I do some yoga, even just a short flow on most days of the week, so I need to start building be habit slowly. I set reminders in my phone for every Monday and Wednesday to do some yoga. This will help me start the habit!
-I don’t think I will have any problem sticking with the insanity schedule, but it important enough to me that I want to include it on the list!
-Somedays I drink 100 oz of water, other days I only get about 30 oz. I think tracking will help me stay consistent and get more water on average!
That’s it! What are your February goals? Anything exciting planned this month?
Living Made Healthy 
Dang, girl! You DID rock it!
I need more water too. A LOT MORE!
Hehe Thanks!
How tall are you? I think it’s crazy that you fit into a size 8 comfortably at the weight you’re at.. I’m only 5’5″ and around 150 and I am uncomfortable in size 10! I am only saying this because I think it’s interesting how different women’s bodies are .. As you know I have been put on a hiatus from exercise for a little while.. and right now my biggest problem with regular pants is the rigid waist line. I am wearing sweats every day! I feel like I have gained 100 pounds or that my stomach is distended or something.. I am so proud of your success! I know you have worked very hard and I am so glad that you are finally seeing changes. You look great! I commented on one of your photos.. your body looks very different from the photos this summer. Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to get moving again myself! :-)
I’m 5’7. It’s totally crazy about how different women’s bodies are! My sis weighs about the same as me, she is wearing a size 10 but overall she looks bigger than me, I think she is about 5’4. I have no hips, and I like to wear my pants down below my belly button-completely against my mothers wishes! Also there is only one women’s clothing
store in my town so I have to buy my jeans there. When I go other places I will have to figure out my size.
Something really changed in me after this fall with the miscarriage and surgery. I can’t tell you what it was but I really started to get serious. It all became so much easier. Plus I started doing those DVDs at home which have more weight lifting than I was doing. That’s really helped. I’ve seen more change in these last 4 months than ever before!
As for you, I know how hard it can be to wait patiently but keep up the good work! You will be back to training in no time! Also I only jeans to work, otherwise just yoga pants! Haha, my husband said something about it the other day, and I said what’s the point in getting my jeans dirty! ;)
I didn’t know you had surgery.. just a D&C? Or something else?
A lot has changed in me too.. and I am being patient.. I don’t feel well enough to run yet but the desire is growing, so that’s good. I am really excited to put 3 years of pain BEHIND me! And I am really looking forward to getting back to the body I had three years ago, when it all started going downhill (NOT GETTING INVOLVED IN THAT TSFL CRAPOLA DIET AGAIN) – It was one of those stupid bait & switch things, I was desperate for a job.. It’s one of those things I consider to be a public failure in my professional life. OH well! Live & learn!
Yep a D&C. It was quick and painless. Nothing like yours. yikes! it will be nice to have that in the past!
I didn’t mean “just” a D&C.. I did that even to myself.. “it’s just a simple procedure” .. and before I knew it I was in a gown with IVs and hairnet and a breathing tube. I am glad you were able to get so much positive out of it!
PS . I definitely have hips!
