I love squats!

Really, I do!  I don't know why I always avoided them in the past, they are great!  They work wonders on your upper legs!  I also love to sweat!  It makes me know that I am working hard, and that my body is being pushed.  I think that my sweat was even sweating today, I worked out so hard!  I did Jackie Warner's Total Body Circuit, and I worked harder than I ever have before!  I even did the oblique crunches, modified, but I have never been able to do them before.  I am already feeling sore, and that feels good!

I weighed in at 200 pounds even today!  I am less than half a point away on the BMI Index from being just overweight, and not obese.  My next goal 0f 198 pounds will hit 2 targets, being out of the obese category, and being the weight I was when I graduated college.  In looking at the BMI chart, I realized that the upper range for normal for my height is 158 pounds.  Gak!  I used to say that that is too skinny for my height, but truth be told, I weighed 155 pounds in high school and was not too skinny,  As a matter of fact, I was always dieting.  Just another excuse so that I don't have to work too hard.  Not anymore!!  So, my goal for my birthday, which is New Year's Eve, is 185.  I am going to say my goal for next summer is 155.  Take that, excuse making part of my brain!!!

By the way, I am wearing my size 14 jeans today!!!  The last time I wore that size, I think may have been my sophomore or junior year of college.  Yep, that was the late 90's.  I am feeling pretty good about it!  I have to get a new pair of jeans for work, and I am kind of looking forward to it!  I will not be looking for the biggest size on the rack.  That is crazy!  I am really proud of making it this far, and I am optimistic for what is to come.
