I HIT MY FIRST GOAL!

I LOST FIFTEEN MUTHAFUCKIN KILOS Y'ALL!!!!

Went from 81 to 64.8 (weighed in this morning!) Didn't expect a good number today because I drank and baked cookies and ate a luxurious meal with a friend, but it happened!!! I hit my first goal weight! I saw it happen, and somehow still didn't expect this.

BMI is just over 23, but I'm trying to get it to 22, so next goal is 60 kilos. But I did 15, 5 more is nbd (I hope, hahah).

It's taken me a little over a year, and progress has been slow, and 15 kilos isn't thaaaat much, I know, but I'm still really proud of how much fitter I am today than in August 2019. I only seriously started counting calories and working out in Jan 2020, and watching the graph on MFP go steadily lower has been a great joy in my life.

How I've been doing it:

1. BMR is ~1400 kcal, I burn at least 300-400 extra by taking long walks every day, which generally brings my TDEE to at least 1700 kcal.
2. I try to eat 1200 kcal a day, but I don't beat myself up if it goes to 1300. (At 1400 the guilt kicks in hahah)
3. Breakfast and lunch are rigidly planned out. For breakfast I make overnight oats with all my favorite things (chocolate, chia seeds, pomegranate/blueberries) and it's super filling. For lunch I almost always eat two breakfast sausages, boiled egg whites, and assorted salad veggies (steamed broccoli/tomatoes/cucumber/tinned corn/kidney beans - generally 3 or 4 of these). Dinner is a bit more varied, since I really enjoy cooking, but I restrict myself to ~150 kcal of starch and the rest in meat or veggies.
4. At-home workouts 4-5 times a week, generally focusing on glutes, abs, and upper body. I'm sick of looking fat, so I'm going for the opposite feel lol.
