6 weeks in and I have lost 15.5 inches and  17 lbs.  I am good with that.  Plus, I am eating so much healthier than ever before - not skipping meals - I have found my exercise calling AND I am not starving.

Day Thirty Six - Weigh and Measure


Yes, yes I know I haven't been logging my food here.   I have been keeping close track of it with the 180App so it IS being accounted for.  I've been sticking very closely with the program and staying close to the 1200 cal/day mark.   1250 is the highest I've gone.

Its that time again.  Weigh and Measure Time:



Arms:  Start:  12.5      Last week:  12        Now:  12    
Bust:   Start:  39          Last week:  38        Now:  38
Chest: Start   ??          Last week:  33        Now   33
Waist:  Start   35.5      Last week:  32        Now:  32    
Hips:   Start:   45         Last week:  41.5     Now:  41.5  
Thighs: Start:  27         Last week:   24       Now:  23.5      

Weight:  Start:  195      Last week: 185       Now:  180
(I reached my Disney goal early!  Okay, new goal - 175 by Disney on the 22nd)

Hot damn I love my Power Yoga!   Lost half an inch - in my thighs which is always terrific.  :)  and I lost 5 lbs.   I have to chalk it up to the addition of the yoga - its the only change.

Good lesson learned:  Always Listen to Your Body.
    -  It will tell you what you need.  If you are doing exercise that you don't like, don't look forward to, have to FORCE yourself to do, or don't feel good during or after that is NOT the exercise for you.   Find something you like to do, something that makes you feel good after you've done it, and that you enjoy while you are doing it (even if it is difficult) - not only will you be more likely to stick with it but you will get greater benefits from doing it.
