Since my original post June 27 (A Pound a Month For 13 Months) - I've tried to reign in some of my poorer health habits.
Namely more movement and less indulgence.
August was a better month for movement - September's been good, too. The key to my happiness (and the change in the tightness of my pants) is MOVEMENT.
Cut to the chase.
I haven't weighed myself as I don't own a scale. If I did, I'd be on it every time a went for a pee and beating the hell out of myself daily.
My trusty tape measure says (which I can already feel in the way my clothes fit):
Bust 39" (down from 40")
Waist 33" (down from 37") This is the one I am most pleased with.
Hips 39" (down from 42") It's the running that seriously kicks my butt. I'm working on it. I don't believe I'll ever be a marathon-er.
I even measured at the end of the day. So I am doing okay.
More importantly - I feel like I am doing something about my health. For me, it is all about daily conscious choice. Somedays I choose good. Somedays I choose bad. I just have to make sure I choose good again - sooner than later.
Let's see how the winter goes... when I may not feel like braving the chill.
