Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,
Here were my goals from before: lose 5% body fat, lose 6 inches overall, or drop 5 lbs. I said these numbers were low but in reality, they were a little high. Still, I came pretty close! I lost 6 inches all over. The most inches lost were in my shoulders, chest, and thigh. I went from 28.54% body fat to 24.53%; this measurement was done using skin calipers (I'm curious to see what a Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis would say). I was just 1% shy of my goal but that's okay! I also lost 3.5lbs.
Overall, I am happy and proud of myself for achieving one of my goals. Mostly I am proud of how I look and feel and that I stuck to my plan. Like I said in the previous post, the goal is to maintain. I will still be counting calories to make sure of this but hey, at least I get to eat more while still feeling/looking good!
In health,
Lauren
Congratulations, Lauren! My current fitness goals are not clearly defined, like yours were, but I agree--pride in meeting fitness goals is a great feeling. I'm more confident than I've ever been, I'm happier with my appearance than I've ever been, and I just feel plain stronger and healthier. You're inspiring!
