Michelin Woman

Ugh.  This is a hopeful, but ugly day.  While preparing my blog for this journey, I weighed in and took "before" pictures ... so not flattering.  The before pics are on the right, below my goal picture.

I feel like the Michelin woman.  Sitting or lying in the same position for a length of time is uncomfortable.  Various areas of my body go numb.  Movement is clumsy and awkward.  Getting up off the floor is challenging.  At some point in my journey I will loose a significant amount of weight and still be discouraged by my physical appearance.  I'm writing this to remind myself about the vast improvements in MOVEMENT, COMFORT and HEALTH.

So ... I unofficially weighed in at 12:05 AM.  I say unofficial, because I usually weigh in after I wake up, after voiding, and before eating or drinking anything, for less error.  Tonight's stats:

Weight:                            242.4 lbs
Body's Fat Percentage:       48.7%
Body's Water Percentage:   37.5%

I'm going to continue with preparations for starting.  I need to restart my time management system.  I need to plan meals and grocery shop.  I'm thinking I'll be able to make Sunday or Monday my official start date.
