Whole 30 Day 21!!!!!
I started this journey about a month ago at 282 lbs. I was so close to 300 that I really wanted badly to never see that number. It was terrifying. So I got crazy. Took some before pics (I will post at the end of this post, so do not look if you dont want to vomit, lol!) and some pix along the way. Here is a current status of where Ive been and where Im at
I measured myself before and again last night. Suffice it to say, Im down 17+ inches all over. An inch from the wrists (funny that this is where I see the biggest difference; I can actually see a wrist bone!!), and a few inches from my waist and hips (almost five each!!). My calves and thighs got a 1/2 inch thicker, which makes sense given all the freakin squats we are doing!!
Im now at 263.6. Thats a total loss of almost twenty pounds in a month. Thats three days a week of going to crossfit killing myself and eating very strict. I think the eating is what has made the biggest difference; honestly. I can see a total change in fat distribution, muscle tone, and the way my body stands. Im also seeing a chiropractor to make sure my back is holding up, and will continue to see her to make sure I can continue to do crossfit.
I know everyone is tired of hearing about it, but honestly I dont care. Really. I spent a few years so frustrated and disgusted everytime I had to walk by a mirror naked, and unable to lose weight; really at the mercy of my stupid thyroid disease. Now I can see changes, and while I am still disgusted by what I see, its really disgust at what Ive done to my body in the past, and hope for the future. I know the change is happening from the outside in, so Im being patient, but it sucks.
I cannot believe that I am going to post this picture, and I hope you click away if you dont want to see, its pretty gross, but it is what I am, and in the interest of full disclosure (and the fact that very few ppl read this) I am ok with it. Hell, when I get to my goals, and I can look in the mirror and be happy with what I see, Ill probably want to post this everywhere!!!!
The picture on the left (blue) is me before Whole30 but after about 2 weeks of doing crossfit. The picture on the right is me last night, Whole30 day 20. Its hard for me to see a big change, but Kira said it was markedly different. I can see how I fill up less of the room I guess, and the fat distribution is different; you can actually see my underwear, not just the fat hanging over it!~!!
