Well, this is the first time in many years that I am not " clinically Obese". My BMI is under 30 for the first time in probably 20 years. I do not put too much stock in the Normal, Overweight and Obese categories simply because I felt as good last week as I do this week. The only thing that has changed is I lost a couple more pounds and medically changed categories. Do not get me wrong, I am excited to be out of that Obese category but my goal is to be healthy, not in a " normal category".
The good news is I am still losing a lot of inches, much faster than my weight loss at this point. I am down to a size 40 pant now, that is amazing to me considering I was in a size 52 just about 5 months ago. This makes shopping a lot more fun.
I have finally reached the point of hiring a personal trainer. I have been working out on my own for several months now to lose the majority of my weight. I wanted to make sure I was completely recovered from my surgery before I committed to a more demanding workout program. My first evaluation is tomorrow and then have committed to meeting with the trainer twice a week. I need some help in getting rid of this last 30lbs to reach my final weight loss goal. Wish me luck.
Congrats on just being "overweight"! It's a good feeling isn't it? I was so happy to be out of the obese category, even if I never get to the "normal" range I am happy with over weight.
