20%

So I did some math last night (shocker, I know). I have lost 20% of my original body weight. How crazy is that?? 20%?? WOAH!!

I haven't reached my goal weight yet (haha), but there definite changes that I have noticed in this body reformation of the last 5 months. And since I'm right around the corner of hitting another milestone I thought I would share them with you.

Go here for the inspiration to this post.

I love my collarbones and actually being able to feel them.

So they're not quite there, but close!

I love being sore from a good gym workout. Yeah it sucks not being able to lift my arm all the way over my head for a day, but I know that the next day it will be better and I will be stronger for days, months, years to come.

I love being able to do things that I wouldn't have thought possible just 5 months ago i.e. hike with sister, regular push ups (a whole 10!), assisted pull ups and dips, walking into work without getting winded.

I love being able to make better choices in my eating without feeling like I'm missing out.

I love the way my clothes continually hang on me.

I love trying on clothes that I wasn't able to fit in to a month ago and have them actually fit or even loose.

I love the space between my arms and body when I'm standing in front of the mirror.

I love knowing exactly where my hips are. (don't put hips into google image search on your work computer)

I love not losing a finger in my belly button.

I love flexing my muscles and actually seeing the change

I love stepping up to a challenge because if I've done this I can at least try doing that. (Next challenge, TRX training.. I'm laughing just thinking about that)

I LOVE seeing my before picture and knowing without a shadow of doubt that I will never be back there again.

I love all of the support, encouragement, love, and cheerleading from each of you.
