I am down 17 pounds since this whole damn journey started. (That's 5.86% of my weight ( Read more... )

I stayed even this week and that's OK.

I took my measurements yesterday and I could NOT be happier to report that I have lost 3% of my body fat and have shrunk 2 inches in my waist, 1.5 inches in hips, 1 inch in my upper arms and 1 inch in my thighs. :)

To keep up my momentum, Amanda and I went grocery shopping. This week I begin following the ( Read more... )

I found this webpage this afternoon and I'm pretty excited about it. I think I'm going to try to do everything on the list. A lot of the items can be done right here in CT. While I would LOVE to travel anywhere and everywhere, we're all always talking about trying new things around here. Here's our shot!

Tomorrow is my weigh-in. I think I've worked hard enough to drop those added pounds from last week. I don't know how much more I've dropped, if any. But no matter what, so long as it's a negative number, I'll be happy ( Read more... )

Just got back from the gym with Amanda. GREAT first workout back!! I'm realizing how great this journey has become already. Even with a week off from workouts, I am stronger than before. I'm lifting far more than before (with ease!). My knees are becoming stronger each day. I'm up to 70 pounds on my leg curls. I know that that's small change to ( Read more... )

Unfortunately, I have not been back to the gym since I got sick. It's been over a week away and it's killing me. Amanda and I are heading out there in a few minutes, though, so I'm just going to hop right back up on that horse and get to it.

I gained weight this week. I expected that, though. No movement, no nothing. I tried to keep it all together ( Read more... )

So, as I posted, I'm down 10 pounds from where I began this journey. 12 pounds from my highest. I'm seriously.... THRILLED.

Unfortunately, I've been sick since Thursday. I haven't gone to the gym since Wednesday. It's actually pretty depressing. I had a pretty bad head and chest cold and with every breath, my chest rattled. There were times this ( Read more... )

 I haven't weighed myself this week (tomorrow is Weigh Day), but I am setting a new goal for myself. The app that I downloaded for my phone really won't let me aim for anything more than 16 pounds by my birthday. I'm upping that goal for myself. I'm going to make it 23 by 23. This year, I'm turning 23, let's see if I can lose a solid 23 pounds by ( Read more... )
