Day 32 (day 4 / week 5)

Today I started to do "Burn It Up" but I just felt really achy and exhausted. I decided to to my "Slim in Limber" video to stretch, and then 20 minutes of strength training, with my 5# hand weights. I did, lateral shoulder raises (2/28), tricep extensions (2/28), bicep curls (2/28), push ups (3/15) and for my lats, upright rows--I think that's what it's called--(1/28).

Some of you might wonder "why 2 sets of 28 reps?" I did this because I do 20 reps normally (for muscle endurance), and then I hold the 20th, and then I do 8 reps fast = 28 :). My plan was to do the same with the push ups, but I just cant do that many at one time. I can do 15 at one time, but I'm toasted and burned after that.

I did a lot of lifting boxes again today.

I almost forgot! My measurements! I did them the same way I did a month ago, and I added some, because I...well I'm anal like that (lol). I want to know everywhere that I am losing inches. I wish I would have taken them last month because this month I am disappointed with the numbers, but they are only numbers and will continue to drop, so I wont trip out about it. I don't know if I want to post my pic, but I guess I will. I am not comfortable with it at all, but I guess I'll get over it eventually, because it will only get better...

(not really any difference)



Everything is measured at the thickest part, unless previously or otherwise noted.

Measurements: (day 30 / day 10) (- "/# lost)

Wt: 213.4 / 215 (-1.6#--probably water weight)
Chest: 43.5" / 43.75" (-.25")
Waist: 39" / 41.5" (-2.5")
Hips: 47.75" / 47.75" (-0")
Neck: 14.25"
Under bust: 36.75"
1" below belly button: 47.5"
below my bottom (above my thigh): 44"
R Thigh: 27"
L Thigh: 27.5"
R Calf: 14.5"
L Calf: 15.5"
R upper Arm: 14"
L upper Arm: 13.5"

so I lost almost 3 inches total. That's great! yaay! I'm not worried about, or thinking about my weight, because I know it means absolutely nothing. I haven't even been doing this for 6 weeks yet, so I am happy to even see any results! :)

Hope everyone has a great superbowl Sunday and workout if you can fit it in :).

I can do this. I am a star missing almost 3" lol.

Thank you for that! I definitely don't see a difference in the pictures, but I can see one in the mirror when I'm putting my makeup on. I wish it was Nov/Dec already!

I totally see a difference in your face...your chin has more definition and your cheekbones are appearing. YOu should be so proud of yourself. I am fighting a nasty cold and haven't exercised since last Tuesday...I actually miss it (a little). I am so proud of you! You are a star!
