And so the time is up. Birthday was celebrated successfully, in a nostalgic fashion, and the deadline for the challenge has been reached.
I was also curious, thus I stepped on the scales on the morning of the 26th to see the following number:
One could think I was disappointed - but to be honest, it went according to my expectations.
There is one quote I have adapted from Paul Arden, when it comes to the topic of personal goals:
Most motivationalists will tell you something like this. In order to achieve something, you have to dream big. So even though losing 45 kg would be amazing within 7 months, I am not disappointed with it being 37 - considering the efforts and how little I actually had to change throughout this time.
To put it into perspective - what do 37 kg actually mean when your weight is 100+?
T-shirt:
XXL, tight fit - > XL, comfortable fit (L, tight fit)
Shirt:
Size 18.5 neck - > Size 17 neck
Pants:
44 (tight fit) - > 38 (comfortable fit) - 36 (tight fit)
With these numbers, I am down to the weight I was before I left for Ireland for the first time in 2007. Those of you who remember me in high school, this is my size once again. But a somewhat more fit shape.
Thus, it means I got another present - my old wardrobe of clothes that have not fit for a few years!
As well as this makes shopping a lot more fun nowadays, as most shops now have more items in my size. :D :D
But this is no way to say that it is over, just because the target time has passed...
More on this once I am back from Oslo.
"So what is the verdict?", you may ask.
