Lets talk people

I haven’t been around much lately so you know what that means; eating …. and W.A.Y. TOO much!!

I was thinking about where I have landed in my weight loss 135-141 and what I have settled for and how I have relaxed

so these are my thoughts… rambling ahead I am sure…. warning…

I wear a spanx EVERY day to work… why? I have bra fat and I have settled … my trainer says this will go away if I lose weight… I think “he’s wrong” Maybe he isn’t and I still have a ways to go

wear spanx because I still have a bit of a belly … In my mind I think “Karla!!! You wear a size 6… you don’t need to lose any more weight” 

but I am not happy with where I am

I have too many lumps and bumps and it is not because I am so lean that it is hanging skin… it is because I could go lower…

my BMI is on the high side of normal

BMI Categories:

• Underweight = <18.5
• Normal weight = 18.5–24.9
• Overweight = 25–29.9
• Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

I am at 24.1 … after a food fest but usually at a 23

which is still on the high side of normal

also, I have always said losing weight was/is easier that maintaining so I am going to go back to ‘diet mode” …. but let’s just keep this between us, okay guys?

I don’t need to hear stuff like

• oh, you are fine, you don’t need to lose any more
• In your 50’s what more do you expect?

(so if those were going to be your comments… please don’t)

This is what I am striving for Jody is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She may have YEARS behind her in the fitness world, but I DON’T CARE if she can have such an amazing body, why can’t I? Jody is LEAN and strong so that is my goal now…. I am going to lean out, keep going to the gym 2-4 times a week, work with my PT twice a week and do my cardio 5-6 times a week and I am in diet LOSE mode, not maintain mode

Nothing crazy… no starvation, to lean out I have to eat… sounds crazy huh?

6-7 small meals

eat every 2-3 hours, clean food… no more processed junk easy on the fruit but here we go

My official before picture’s:

OMG that’s awful…. now you know why I spend money on spanx…. sheesh

ok there is a treadmill with my name on it so … I gotta go
