Success!

So, I have to brag a little because I was dreading last week and I feel like I really beat Thanksgiving down to a pulp this year.

Thanksgiving was great. I cooked healthy options for myself and I didn't go crazy. I had a glass of wine and some popcorn to cheat a little. Same thing Friday - I ate well all day but still cheated at the very end of the day. Saturday I didn't eat hardly at all and drank some beer and Sunday I decided I could eat what I wanted as an official "cheat" day.

Well I wish that I was actually supposed to report my progress yesterday and not today. Because when I weighed myself yesterday morning I was 129 pounds! I broke 130! I can't believe it. Then, when I came home after eating bad all day and drinking, I weighed 132 (you always weigh more at night anyway) but my body fat % was like 19%!!!! Holy crap!

So I will report back when I get home after work and weigh myself. I'm expecting that I'm not really going to weigh 129 pounds. But I'm hoping if I hydrate myself all day today I will still have the lower body fat %. People, if I really am 19% body fat, I'm going to be stoked. That was my goal to make by January! I was hoping that I would be ready in January to push my body fat from 19 to about 15% before starting contest prep in May. I am so stoked.

Also, thank you to everyone that told me yesterday how skinny I looked. Compliments are wonderful and really make you realize how much body fat you have lost. I officially was in the skinniest pair of jeans I own yesterday. If I loose more weight, I won't have a single pair of pants in the closet that fit. Darn, I'll have to go to the mall!

And finally, I will have to post some progress photos later today. I took some on Saturday when I found out that I was 130 pounds. I took them for Amy Peters since she is going to help me build an off season diet and she needs to see how I look to start a plan. I look much much better in these photos than the last set. you can actually see my abs coming in and some real definition in my legs. I'm not as happy with my back still, but at least you can tell my shoulders and traps are really built up.
