141! I Can't Believe It!

I got on the scale this morning and lo and behold I was 141lbs. That doesn't seem real! I have been counting my calories and tracking my protien intake and working out. So I guess it makes sense. Half a lb more and I'll be able to say I've lost 65lbs. That is just crazy! Especially since I still feel so fat.

I been using a site called my-calorie-counter.com and its been great for tracking everything I put into my body. I did have to do quite a bit of research to figure out how many calories I should be getting in. I guess anywhere between 800 - 1000 is where I should be. So I aim for 900 and 65g of protien. Although, I am pretty sure the nutritionist might want me to up it to 70g if I can.

I've been enjoying going to pilates or working out at home. I can see the beginning of a six pack emerge on my tummy. I still have a good inch of fat layering the top of the muscle, but its getting there. My legs, however, are not. I mean they are getting thinner, and more muscular, but they are still huge. My arms are also getting more muscular, but I have the hanging fat still.

Well I guess that's all stuff to keep me motivated. I haven't weighed in the 130s for over 10years, so I am really excited about seeing 13something!

I thought I was alomost done losing weight. I was 147 when I went to GA for Christmas and I worked out there and saw 146 at the gym, but when I got home I was 147 again. Then in 2 weeks I've lost 6 pounds. WOW! I am just in shock...
