Wow,
Down at 151.2 this morning. I've never seen the scale dip that low!
Granted it was after a 10k run - but still.
I'm not trying to lose anymore weight but I won't lie that I would be personally more content to be hovering at or around 150 vs 154.
Some observations I want to note:
- my belly is really firming up - with fat reduction, muscle toning and skin firming. I'm gettting a lot closer to not having any belly "hanging" anymore.
