I am down almost 50lbs and while I have gained some weight here and there, I have consistently been around the 190 zone for the last couple of weeks. I have also only lost 9 lbs in the last 3 months...even though I have increased my workout and continue to watch what I eat (I am attributing it to muscle gain). I think this is a good place for me to maintain at the moment while continuing to workout. Trust me, I am not going to go back to where I was in January and I am going to continue the healthy course with my workout and food intake. If I lose more weight...GREAT...but if I dont its okay as long as I am still transforming my body by adding muscle and definition. I am absolutely happy with my current achievements and body transformation!
Let it be...for now at least
What I am learning is that obsessing about the "number" is not a good thing, because ultimately you will disappoint yourself and do something bad for your body. I would rather tell myself that this is where my body wants me to be at the moment. I truly believe that your body tells you when it needs to lose, gain, or maintain and mine is saying stay here and lets take a breather. So here I stay stable and balanced until its time again to drop the last 20-25 lbs or so.
Currently, I am fitting into size 34 waist pants comfortably...sometimes 32s, wearing size large shirts and on occasion size mediums. In my recent photo below I am wearing a very "cut small" large shirt and size 34 shorts...both felt great and I was comfortable to be in them. Its nice that I can shop and pick nice clothes again and feel like I genuinely look good in it. I feel great, I feel healthy, and when I look in the mirror I really like what I see. So...for now...I am happy to be where I am. Its such a drastic change from the size 40+ waist pants, XXL shirts, and my doughboy (bloated) look, that I was at, when I started this journey on January 17,2011! I love that my pectoral muscles are starting to develop and my chest actually protrudes out further than my stomach now! I know...little changes makes me happy. My tummy is starting to flatten too...working on it still and trying to eradicate the love handles...at least its not longer muffin topping on my pants..well maybe a little but not as bad as it did before!
