So I was a little disappointed this morning... I weighed myself, and I only went down .2 lbs... and everything else stayed the same for the most part....

weight 143.6 lbs
body fat 29.2%
body water 48.7%
bone mass 7 lbs
muscle mass 42.9 lbs

Although I did have a little issue this morning which made things slightly different... I went to bed last night with my stomach growling and when I woke up early this morning I felt like I was going to get sick, which often happens when I go to be over hungry rather than just slightly hungry... So I had to drink an entire bottle of water and eat a piece of bread in order to curb the sick feeling. Which could have thrown off my results slightly. I'm debating on reweighing myself again tomorrow to see if it did. Not sure though, Although it is a little sad that I've worked my butt off and i only lost .2 lbs...

I did take my measurements which I will only be doing once a month... And they are as follows from the top of the body down...

Neck - 12.5"
Arm - 13"
Bust - 37"
Chest - 32"
Waist - 31"
Hips - 39.5"
Thigh - 22"
Calf - 14.5"

Hopefully on October 16 they will all be down lower... My fingers are crossed

Wish me luck

those favorite red shorts

So, back in high school Nikki and I split the cost of these red shorts from anchor blue (back then millers outpost) and we shared them, later on she gave them to me and said to keep them. I tired them on today, and they fit, they were snug, and not quite as comfy as I remember them, but they zipped up and didn't have anything hanging over the top! I was excited, so I then tried on all of my jeans and shorts, my other shorts are still a little snug, but I can zip and button them up now, before I couldn't, but I still got about another 5 lbs before I can wear them again whereas the red ones maybe just a pound or 2 till they are comfy again. As for my jeans, all of them fit comfortably except 1 pair, which are still a little tight in the thighs and waist, maybe another 5-7 lbs till I'm in those, but it was really exciting to know that all the clothes I have right now fit me nicely except 2 things, which is something to look forward to. I weight myself tomorrow, and I'm going to add measurements to that too, I bought myself a tape measure so we will see where my measurements are at, not that I really remember where they were at before, but regardless it will be nice to start keeping track of. Just another thing to judge where I am at =] Over all I feel really good about myself today. I feel prettier than I have felt in the recent past, and I feel better about myself, which is always a good thing. I'm keeping myself busy with reading magazines and a book, to keep my brain active. Overall I am content right now... That is all. Oh and keep your fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Wish me luck!

So, I've been continuing to kick my butt on a daily basis with my workout. I'm almost to day 30 on power 90, Dave and I will be taking photos to see where we are compared to where we were, and I'll be sure to post those on here when its done.

I've noticed myself being bad at work, eating a lot of sweets... I've cut out all the fried food from work (except last night I was starving and had some fries, and man did I regret it, I was bloated and hurting all night) I seem to want some chocolate a lot, which is weird cause usually chocolate isn't my thing, but I like sweet stuff and when thats all I have near, I'll go for it, which isn't good cause its really fattening.

I'm really trying to do better though. Its just really hard, I think maybe I should bring a sweet snack to work with me so when I want something I have something there for me that is better than nutella or chocolate. Just have to find something that i can bring with me.

I have a total of 22 pounds to lose... 123 ending weight seems like a good number, right in the middle of the average bmi. I'm excited about it, Sometimes I feel like my goals are a little outlandish, so for right now I'll keep focused on my 140 lb milestone. Only a couple pounds away from that. I'm determined to be healthier this week than I was last week! I'm determined! I'll do it!

Wish me luck!

Finally got a scale!!!

So, after 2 weeks of waiting, I finally got my scale!!! And I finally weighed myself this morning! And...... drum roll please....... I lost another 4 lbs! And another 2.5% body fat! I haven't been able to weigh myself in a long time, since the day after i got back from the wedding, and then I was up 3 pounds from the vacation! So, really I am down 7 lbs from then, but 4 lbs from my recent lowest =]

We got the taylor scale that does weight, body fat, body water, bone mass, and muscle mass, and although I'm not sure what I need the last 2 for, it will at least give me a few more things to keep track of every week.

Weight : 143.8 lb
Body Fat : 29.2%
Body water : 48.6%
Bone Mineral Mass : 7lb
Muscle Mass : 42.9lb

So, I am at the half way point to my 2nd goal of 7 lbs. I've been kicking ass in my workouts, doing power90 sweat every day and sculpt every other day, and on the occasion a biggest loser workout, like I did today.

Dave has been doing good too, he is down about 10 lbs! Its nice working out together, although right now we are on opposite schedules because of 1 random day where I did both and he only felt like doing one, which is fine, it makes for some entertaining workouts!

So, here's to 14lbs down, 3 more to go on this mini goal, then another 5, then another 5, but thats getting ahead of myself, down to 140 first!

Wish me luck!

Well I wanted to be really good and do a double workout today, but after I got home I was waiting for Dave to finish eating, and then he didn't even want to work out in the end... Although his sister worked out with me instead, by the time we were done with just the weight lifting it was midnight, and I didn't wanna do an hour of cardio after that, it would keep me up all night... So instead I'm going to do 2 workouts tomorrow, 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening with dave's sis again so she can see the other power 90 work out.

I feel a little better today, hopefully tomorrow with a double workout I'll feel even better about myself, and hopefully I get my scale soon so I can find out what I weigh finally, fingers crossed for under 145!

Wish me luck!

ugh...

So this new job is killing my healthy eating habits! I can make myself 1 meal per day for free, and I'm trying to keep it healthy, like today I had a 1/2 turkey sandwich with egg and cheese, which is relatively healthy, but then I had to try making a crape, since I'd never made them before, so i had 1 filled with strawberries and bananas and topped with cinnamon and vanilla glaze, not to healthy... Although it was either that or stuffed with banana and nutella... which woulda been way worse... I'm trying though, I really am and after putting it into the daily plate, I'm right on target, technically i have another 40 calories left for me today, but I'm not going to use them. Still have to workout tonight, I'm doing double duty, both an hour of cardio and a 30 minute weight lifting... It will be my first full day in a long time, but it is definitely needed. I still don't have a scale to see where I'm at, but I ordered one for super cheap on amazon.com, and i should have it tomorrow or tuesday, my fingers are crossed. Either way, I'll keep you posted - for those of you if there are any, who want to check out where I work, go to www.thecheekymonk.com

Wish me luck

Super sore today...

So yesterday I did the biggest loser Cardio Max workout. I did a warm up, level 3, level 2, level 3 and then a cool down. And it kicked my ass beyond belief!!! I hurt so bad this morning. Kinda felt like I got hit by a truck or something... I didn't let that stop me though! I did the power 90 sweat workout this morning with dave, and kicked my butt again. I didn't slow down during the whole thing, I'm proud of myself for doing now 4 days in a row... Looks like it will be 9 days in a row before I get a day off, since Dave insists on taking Sunday's off, and I didn't quite feel like taking Sunday off, so that means 9 straight days for me. That means I'll be kickin my butt!

Wish me luck!
