Weight 158

Posting this here for posterity.

@EmilyQ

Starting weight this morning was 158, which is only a pound lower than last year’s starting weight. My pics look a great deal like last year’s, too, but I don’t feel the same at all. I’m stronger now, and feel much more athletic. My goal is to do more of the same stuff. I want to continue to build strength and endurance, which makes my primary goal consistency.

For the start of the challenge I’m hoping to drop weight. I did lose 10 lbs last year, but then switched my focus to strength, so let myself eat more, which was healthy and good. My weight has been pretty steady at 154-155, so I’m hoping the first 3 lbs will be low-hanging fruit from the holiday, and I’ll be able to drop that quickly. (Probably lying to myself, lol.)

Not sure what a weight goal would be for me right now that makes sense, as I’m more muscular and am taking creatine, but ten pounds to start would be good. Then I’ll reevaluate.

Last year’s overarching goal was reduced inflammation and better overall fitness, which goal was successfully achieved. So I’m viewing this as the next phase of a longer transformation. Lean down; build up.
