I have not been too good at keeping this updated... but I really do like keeping track of inches and pounds on here, if nothing else. My current weight is 227. I'm now 5 pounds from weighing what I did when I got pregnant with my daughter in Sept. 2008. I am thrilled to be at this weight, but I am definitely not done yet!
Measurements:
Feb'10/Aug'10/Oct'10/Jan'11(total)
Waist: 50"/48"/46"/41"(-9")
Hips: 54"/53"/52.5"/49"(-5")
Right Thigh: 30"/29"/27"(-3")
Bust: 49"/48"/47.25"/45.25(-3 3/4")
Right Arm: 18"/16.5"/16.5"/15.25"(-2.75")
I've noticed that my thighs and arms are not changing as much as I'd like, and I know the way to change that is to make a better effort of getting to the gym. I really want to start doing some Yoga classes as well as regular gym work outs. I told myself when I started this (40lbs ago) that I would start doing yoga once I had lost 30 pounds... and now I keep telling myself "maybe after I lose 20 more". I need to stop doing that and just go do it. I used to love Yoga and it strengthened my body in places regular work outs didn't seem to.... example: arms, back, and overall flexibility. If I can turn some of my flubber into muscle then I think I will start feeling a lot better about myself. So, my goal this week is to go to the gym 4 times.... and one of those times I want to go to a yoga class!
So I have almost reached my first BIG goal: getting back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Some future points that I would like to reach are: (1) getting to my wedding day weight (approx. 30 pounds to go) and (2) getting to the weight I was at when I met my husband (approx. 60 pounds to go). It is going to take me a while to get there, but in the end I would rather it come off slow because the weight tends to stay off better that way.
