Weight progress

So here is the good news.

I have finally gone below my plateu weight. Woohoo! In the last 2 months of boxing, I've only lost 6 lbs. But, in the last month of eating meat, I lost all of that. Also, I'm down 3% body fat. Heyooooooo. It's not about the scale anymore, it's about body composition. Scale doesn't mean shit. I look smaller. 

In celebration, I went to the mall and bought a ton of clothes. I've never been able to walk into stores and fit into clothes. I'm embracing it. So what.

Side bar, I bought a onesie. For sleeping. Omg comfortable. Can't handle it.
