Pics

Ok, so I'm still huge but I feel great. I had Ainsley take some pictures of me in the same shirt as the September pic. I want to document these changes. I am going to lose all this weight. I've decided my goal weight is 140. In these pics I had just finished riding my exercise bike for 30 minutes and took a shower.

Crash and burn

Went to C-bus to see Coral and ate at Wendy's twice. French fries, frosty, and double stacks. Then tonight was my Mom's birthday party and I figured what the hay, diet's already blown, so I ate cake too. Have not exercised Saturday or today. This is a minor set back and I will do better tomorrow.

Step Aerobics: I figured it out

The Kathy smith video I want is called Step Workout. I had been doing the Great Buns and Thighs workout. I just bought the dvd of the step workout on Ebay and hope it will arrive soon. This workout is more aerobic and longer than Buns/Thighs but also has a toning segment. Ate salad and mesquite chicken for lunch, and my scales are saying I weigh about 203. So can't wait for Friday's weigh in. tomorrow Mom, Vicky, and I are going for pedi's and then to Ulta for a beauty haul. Looking forward to girl time but wonder when I can fit exercise in tomorrow.

This is my husband and me last September (2010) for Coral and Greg's birthday party. Check out that thick middle! Somehow when I look in the bathroom mirror, I don't think I look this huge, but whenever I see pictures of myself, I am!

Step Aerobics

Ate chicken stuffed with broccoli and tater tots. Could've eaten more tots but left some for Brianna. I thought I would feel hungry but I was ok. Had to wait a couple of hours then I did my Kathy Smith Step Workout. Did the whole thing. Amazed myself. But it wasn't what I remember. The third segment was a floor workout and the second segment was mostly a bunch of squats. I remember (years ago) a Kathy Smith step workout where the first two segments the step was turned parallel and the third segment the step was vertical, and it was more aerobic than a bunch of squats. So what video is that?

Cheer myself up

Since this week was disappointing after all that exercise, I decided to look at my Second Start Stats and compare to now. I have lost 4 inches off my waist! That is an accomplishment. I've lost 2 inches off my bust, which I hope means my BACK is losing fat, not my boobs. I've lost 2 inches off my gut. I am making progress, the rest of my measurements are all less, just not significant amounts, like just .25 inches. I will keep trying and I will do better on my diet.

Friday weigh in and stats

I weighed the same, 208. I see a pattern developing. If so, I should lose 2 pounds this coming week for next Friday's weigh in. I have been exercising, some days doing double sessions because of 2 hour delays. Friday I had some chocolate and M&M's, but not much, the chocolate didn't taste good to me. Saturday I ate 3 yeasty rolls and munched on Tostitos while waiting for the Taco meat. Otherwise I have been good with my diet. I am starting to drink distilled water. I researched the process and distilled water is the most pure water without all the dead bacteria and pollutants. So we'll see how that goes. Here are my weekly stats.
Neck: 16.25 Hip: 42.75
Arm: 13 Thigh: 23.5
Bust: 44 Calf: 15.25
Waist: 40.5 Ankle: 9
Gut: 43
Inches lost is disgusting 248 - 247.25 = .75 I will keep trying because I feel better and I know losing fat takes time. Here's to a fitter, healthier me, in time!
