Someone Less Fat Happened!

I broke the 10 pound plateau! I have lost 10.5 lbs. since January 3! What? January 3 of this year, of course! Yes…. 2012.

This was me before losing 10.5 pounds:

It’s the Stay Puft Marshmallow Maggie

 

I attribute my weight loss success to a few things.

Doing two sets of these strength training exercises twice in the past two months:

• 30 Jumping Jacks
• 5 Pushups
• 25 High Knees
• 7 Burpees (I didn’t do these the last time because they’re hard)
• 10 Crunches
• 7 Squats
• 5 Pushups
• 10 Crunches
• 5 Pushups
• 7 Squats
• 30 Jumping Jacks
• 1 Minute Wall Sit (this is my Wailing Wall)
• 5 Pushups
• 25 High Knees

I’ve been running.

I ate this once and it was really good:

15 Minute Creamy Avocado Pasta

• 1 medium sized ripe Avocado, pitted
• 1/2 lemon, juiced + lemon zest to garnish (I used lime b/c the lemon had fallen out of the fruit bowl and I couldn’t find it)
• 2-3 garlic cloves, to taste (I used 4 and it was quite garlicky, but if you are not a big fan of garlic, then you are weird)
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt, or to taste
• ~1/4 cup Fresh Basil tightly packed
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 servings/6 oz of your choice of pasta (I used whole grain spaghetti)
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Bring several cups of water to a boil in a medium sized pot. Add in your pasta, reduce heat to medium, and cook until Al Dente, about 8-10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, make the sauce by placing the garlic cloves, lemon juice, and olive oil into a food processor. Process until smooth. Now add in the pitted avocado, basil, and salt. Process until smooth and creamy. CREAMY

3. When pasta is done cooking, drain and rinse in a strainer and place pasta into a large bowl. Pour on sauce and toss until fully combined. Garnish with lemon zest and black pepper. Serve immediately. Makes 2 servings.

 

As of this morning, I look like this which isn’t thin but it is less fat:

Please note flowers and dogs so you don’t think, “I can still see side fat.”

 

Side view shows less side fat and that I have no ass.

I’m still working on a larger post for tomorrow. Heads up, if you are not a WordPress Blogger, you will probably not want to read but now that I’ve said that you will and you’ll be pissed off that you did. Just sayin’.
