I’ve gotta stop focusing on numbers, but stuff like this is pretty exciting. I downloaded “My Fitness Pal” to my phone and I’ve been logging (as best as I can) what I’m eating. It gives me a breakdown in terms of how many sugars, fats, sodium, vitamins, carbs etc that I’m putting into my body, too. I’m almost at 160 now (I was near 153 this summer, poop) but I’m just readjusting to school and schedule and when the best time to fit in fitness will be. Needless to say, it’s frustrating. People don’t tend to think that I weigh as much as I do — I carry myself well and I have a pretty tiny waist (30” - down from nearly 40”+) and I also have a lot of muscle that I’ve been working on in addition to slimming down.
And like I said, I need to stop focusing on numbers, but lower numbers make me feel good. Especially when I can see that I get the low numbers not by starving myself, but by being more conscientious of what I’m actually putting in my belly and by doing a healthy level of exercise and work.
I don’t want a gap in my thighs or anything like that (probably not possible with my father’s family genes) but I do want to see muscles in my legs. I’m gonna keep running and keep being good and only eating “naughty” when it’s a special occasion. This is a life-style change, not a sprint to the finish.
All things I just gotta remember. Bah. But this handy little app is kinda becoming an addiction. It's so interesting seeing where my diet lands on the spectrum. :)
