Impressive, and gross.

I have been having great success this week. As of this morning, I am down 16.4 lbs from my starting weight, and I can see a difference in my face and midsection. I haven't been exercising at the gym as much because of the car situation due KJ's work schedule. I honestly hate going at night. I am a morning person. I like to get up and get moving. Putting it off until 8 PM is rough. I only have enough energy in me to eek out 30 minutes of cardio, and then I am done.

Because of my personal preferences in exercise, I have been diligent with food and it's really helping. I haven't gone over 1400 calories since Saturday, and they've all been good calories. No junk, no eating out of boredom, and when I do feel like eating, I make smart choices.

One of the things I have been curious about since the fat's been going away is what exactly the amount of fat actually looks like. One pound of fat looks is about the size of a coffee cup, for example.

Gross, right? At 16 lbs lost, I wanted to know what that looked like in a lump. Since I am proportionate in my weight loss and gain, I can't fathom just how much fat I have lost because I lose all over, not just somewhere like my gut. Thanks, Google, for finding it for me:

What a beautiful curio cabinet display...

THAT. IS. DISGUSTING...
I am glad it's gone. I'll be glad to get to 20 lbs gone, and happier still when I get to the goal I'm striving for. One pound at a time.
