Twenty-Three Week Weigh-in
 |
| Looking forward to taking the diminished me on more hiking like this — Big Basin Redwood State Park in California. |
This morning I am 145.2, which is a 2 pound loss for the week and makes me 62.6 pounds down overall. Ooooo and I just passed the 30% (30.12% to be exact) of original body weight lost mark, yay!
So 30% of my former self is sitting on a sofa in another dimension wearing blown-out, elastic-waist shorts, stuffing in the Doritos and HoHos while planning her next giant binge meal — the whole time vaguely wondering why the hell she’s such a chubmeister.
The present 70% of me has completed a 5.51 mile run, eaten oatmeal for breakfast, and is planning her hiking trip to Acadia National Park (we leave on Saturday!) while wearing her new, pretty-darn-cute North Face hiking shorts in roomy size 8. Yeah, I don’t miss that extra 30% at all!
UGH!! So jealous of that picture! And your upcoming vacation/hike. It sounds amazing.
You are doing great on your weight loss. I only wish my dorito-eating, sofa-sitting self would get up off her ass!!
Congrats to you!!!!!!! Such an inspiration!!! Your hiking trip sounds like its gonna be a blast! I’ve never done ‘real’ hiking but I am betting it’s awesome…the exercise..scenery and fresh air..what more could you ask for?!
wow. super duper, good job. the acadias sounds fab. you’re thin as a tree, so you’ll fit right in.
i woke up with a fire under me this morning. i can be skinny by november, and the thought of that is delightful. i saw so many cute sundresses this weekend on vacay; it made me yearn for my lighter past. and my lighter future! it helps to have a superwoman on here like you, too.
keep up the great work!

Wow am I envying you right now. THAT PICTURE!! That looks like it could have been torn from the pages of the latest REI catalog, which totally rocks. Love it!
You look great and envying the surroundings
Awesome job as always at the loss Jo. You inspire me to always keep going. You’re so consistent it is amazing really. I hope the weather lightens up and is perfect for your vacay. I want to hear all about it. And really hope we can meet up when I get there.
Oh I updated my blog with 4 new recipes I made last week
Sorry, am not trying to make you hungry!! I promise 
My good lord Josephine, nice back yard! Jeeze I’m more than ready to go vegan if it’ll do that for my caboose!
Woohoo Jo! You rock!
how the heck do you wear size 8’s at the same weight as me - and I’m stuck in 14’s?!
Holy cow, you’re totally the hiker I want to be…you know, a size 8 is roomy kind of hiker!
Man, those are some darn cute shorts you’ve got on there. The best part is that they’re size 8 and ROOMY for the important 70% of you.
question totally not relating to this post: I saw in your exercise log you went kayaking a few times. Where do you go? And is it a real good workout? Do you have your own kayak or do you rent them from places? There are tours up here by me (i really want to do a bioluminecent in Titusville) but they are expensive.. sort of. Is it worth it? I WANT TO GO!! Wanna come?
You’ve done so great - I am so proud of you!!!
You look so good and sound so happy with yourself and what you’ve accomplished.
sooooooooooooo… how was acadia?
