61 pounds down! Yippee!

Finally broke the 60 pound mark. Came within half a pound once before, so this feels really good right now. :)

Been re-evaluating my goal weight. I am still going to keep my max goal as 130 pounds, I really don't want to go any heavier than that ever again. I know that health wise my body weight could go down to 110 pounds or even less, I'd just prefer not too because to me, it just sounds too low. Now that I am 121 pounds and I'm feeling what's left to lose, it's starting to seem like I will end up finishing in the teens rather than twenties.

In case anyone is worried, no, I am not taking this too far, I promise, I have a very healthy body image and definitely want to be on the fit and toned side rather than skinny and practically boney side.

For my small frame size and height, even 121 pounds feels slightly uncomfortable, the top half is great, the stomach, hips, butt and thighs on the other hand, are still carrying too much fat and I notice it while I walk, sit or am active in anyway. It still gets in the way and I'm not happy or comfortable with that.

I'm still technically wearing a size 6, though with the inches lost from Insanity, I'm probably in between a 4 and a 6 right now because my pants have gotten a bit droopy in the butt area and have a bit more slack in the thighs. I'm not aiming for a particular size, although I do have a preference of losing another 2 inches per thigh going from 23 inches each to 21 inches each, measured at the widest area. As well as losing another inch or two on the stomach. I have a layer of visceral fat that needs to go. I'm hoping restarting a round of Chalean Extreme again in October will help me achieve my ideal body shape preference.

Anyway, rough day other than that. My cat is not eating his food and for a diabetic cat who has chronic pancreatitis, this is not good. Spent a good chunk of the afternoon at the vet, got lots of tests done, dropped a load of money more than we can afford and from the fact that he only a ate a bit of the new food this evening that was prescribed by the doctor this afternoon, we are more than likely to be spending some time back at the vet again tomorrow.

Doesn't help that when we were there, he had a bit of a fever. We were all hoping that it could have partially been due to the stress of the construction going on, on our street, as well as the trip to the vet. I need to call with an update and find out where to go from here tomorrow morning, as soon as they open. Fingers crossed he is willing/able to finish all his food in the morning. I need my baby to be alright, I can't handle anything happening to him. He's my precious baby boy and has been for more than 12 1/2 years. I don't know how I'd deal with that and my great aunt's passing.

I hope everyone had a good day and had a nice weekend. :)

Monday Weigh In:

Down 2.5 pounds. Bringing me to 121 pounds from 123.5 pounds from last week. (I think this was just catch up from last week because I gained 0.5 pound from the complications of missing so many birth control pills before. Likely it was an actual pound loss last week and 1.5 pound loss this week, like I aim for every week. Things are just finally sorting themselves out.)
