change you can believe in
so I’ve had an okay last month and a shitty last week in terms of diet and exercise. coming back to tumblr after a month of absence because well, it worked. the number of the scale wasn’t moving much, but I fit into smaller clothes and feel more athletic.
more good news came from the lab today. this is super timely since it made me feel gross about the amount of sugary carbs I consumed this week, cause look:
compared to my last results from December 2011 (right before I started eating better and working out) my cholesterol is lower (I am now right below the maximum for a healthy level), my triglyceride level is lower (that one is thanks to the exercise) and my liver is doing much better.
getting back on that oatmeal tomorrow.
I literally spent the last night of 2011 (well into the first morning of 2012) discovering fitspo tumblrs. This is one of the images that stood out for me. So here we go.
Reblogging myself mid-April for a reminder. Need to go back to writing things down, planning ahead and holding myself accountable.
