Progress report

Day 18 of the challenge

I haven’t blogged since day one of the challenge. I really just didn’t want to be a downer. The scale has hardly been moving for me. I didn’t want to get on here and rant and throw myself another one of my amazing pity parties. So I waited and waited until I started to see a little progress.

I posted my Game Plan on my last blog, and guess what?! I’m totally doing everything I said I would! I’m really really proud of myself. I’m actually getting up at 6am to workout! This is a huge deal for me. I’m definitely not a morning person. I’m not going to take all of the credit though; my hubby literally drags me out of bed every morning. I’m like a little kid, I fight him everyday… but I asked him to do this.. go figure…. LOL

So, with my doubles and eating clean, I was hoping to lose 2-3 pounds a week. I thought for sure I’d be seeing fast results. Not the case. Not the case at all! Today is day 19 of the challenge. I’ve lost 2.8 pounds. Total. I understand what’s happening. I’m building muscle; my body is adjusting to the shock of two workouts a day. I understand, but it still gets me down some days. Even though I know it shouldn’t.

I took my measurements last night, and am really happy about them! Here are my stats:

2/12 --- 3/1 --- loss
Weight--- 157.6--- 154.8--- -2.8
Right Arm--- 12.5--- 12--- -0.5
Left Arm--- 12--- 12--- 0
Thighs- -- 24--- 24--- 0
Under bust--- 33--- 32--- -1.0
Waist--- 30.5--- 30--- -0.5
Belly button--- 35.5--- 34--- -1.5
Hips--- 40--- 40--- 0

So yeah, my arms were different sizes when I started. Not sure how they evened out in 19 days. LOL Most of my inches lost are in my tummy area, which is GREAT. If I would have taken measurements a week ago, I’m sure my legs would have actually grown. My jeans were actually fitting tighter than normal last week. This was not so great with my motivation, but again, I understood that my legs had to of been retaining water.

So there we go. This is where I stand right now. Definitely moving in the right direction and really excited for the end results!
