1 Month

It's been a month.  I hit it hard for the first two weeks and then I lost my job and got super depressed and only semi-tried.  I'm back at it though!  I got my new Jillian Michaels dvd and started it last night.  It's 35 minutes of abs.  It was tough, but weirdly I'm not sore... that worries me a little! LOL

January 31, 2012

Hips- 44 1/2 (-1 1/2)
Waist- 37 (-1 1/2)
Arms- 15 (-1/4)
Thighs- 25 1/2 (-1/2)
Weight- 184.5 (-5 1/2lb)

My one month stats aren't too bad for someone who barely tried.  I lost 5 1/2 pounds and 1 1/2 inches EACH on my hips and waist.  Let's see if I can do that in February too!

I slacked

My only change this week was losing half a pound.  I only worked out once and I was dying of cramps and a migraine this week so I'm surprised I even lost that.  Measurements are the same.  I ordered the 6 Pack Abs in 6 Weeks dvd.  It should be here next week and I'll start some hardcore (hehe) ab training!

Week 2 Measurements: 1 1/2 inches on my Waist and Hips so Far!

Here are my measurements for the week with my loss so far!  Waist, hips and weight are doing fabulous!  Arms and thighs are a little slower.  They'll catch up though!  I'm excited that my pants are fitting me better!  Now let's just keep going!

Day 6: Measurements (I couldn't wait until Monday!)

Still going!  I've done pretty well.  I've managed my eating well and worked out daily!  Yesterday I did Level 3 of the 30 Day Shred.  My legs are burning!!!  I went out to eat on Wednesday night and took half my dinner home for lunch the next day!  Here are my measurements this morning!  The purple is my loss this week.

January 6, 2012
Hips- 45 1/2 (-1/2)

Sweet huh?!?

Week 3: Angie's Measurements

January 24, 2011: Week 3
red is total lost so far

Hips- 44 (-1/2)
Waist- 36 (1 -1/2)
Arms- 14 1/4
Thighs- 25 (-1/4)
Weight- 180 (-5 lb)

This week there was a 1/4" loss on my hips (HOORAY!), a 1/4" loss on my thighs and a 1 lb weight loss... another good week!  I was hoping for more on my waist, but I'm pretty happy with the results!  Friday I stuffed myself on all-you-can-eat sushi and this weekend was that time of the month, so I wasn't sure how the measurements and especially the weight would go, but I'm happy.  I still haven't lost anything at all on my arms even though I work them daily.  I have issues with bulking up when I'm trying to slim down, so the new muscle forming may just be equaling out any fat lost there.  I HATE my big arms... hopefully they start slimming soon.  I hate trying on shirts that fit everywhere but I can't squeeze my upper arms into them.

Another week down!

oh my gosh!!!

I measured and then measured again and then grabbed a different tape measure and measured and measured again... I lost a full inch on my waist this week!  I lost a quarter inch on my hips!  Perhaps my goal should have been more than the waist and hips though since that's all I'm losing! LOL  I think I'm building up muscle under my fat arms and thighs and that's why I'm not seeing a difference in measurements yet, but hopefully as the muscle gets bigger the fat will drop.

I'm very happy with these results!

January 17, 2011- Two Week Weigh-In

Hips- 44 1/4 (-1/4)
Waist- 36 (1 -1/2)
Arms- 14 1/4
Thighs- 25 1/4
Weight- 176 (-4 lb)

I got a new digital scale which says 181 lbs, so after this week I'll be using that.  I'm not happy about going up 5lbs. hahaha

Week 1: Angie's Measurements

Here it is.  The moment I've been dreading all week... measurement day.


Hips- 44 1/2

Waist- 37 (-1/2)
Arms- 14 1/4
Thighs- 25 1/4
Weight- 177 (-3lb)

I'm super happy I lost 1/2 an inch on my waist!  I'm down 3lbs as well.  I haven't lost anything anywhere else, which I find crazy with the exercises I've been doing (I thought I'd lose 1/4" in my arms and thighs), but I'm going to guess that a loss on my hips will come next week.  It seems like that's usually how it goes, one week waist, one week hips.  I'm half an inch into my 6 inch goal!!!  Happy day!  Now to just keep it up! :)

:)

I did really well this past week! I did two good work-outs and did great with my food! Woo-Hoo!

I have SO slacked on this blog, but even worse than that I've slacked on being healthy, at all!

Instead of making this posting a confession time, I'm instead going to make this a I'm-back-on-the-wagon-and-from-here-on-out-going-to-be-better posting :)

2:30pm- 30 minutes on exercise bike (did 6 miles of rolling hills), 15 minutes weight lifting
3:30pm- banana & boiled egg
4:30pm- 1 can Healthy Request soup
7:00pm- mug of Pero w/2 tsp sugar & a bit of skim milk
9:30pm- 4 celery stalks w/ff dip made of cream cheese, cottage cheese & sour cream
all day- drank lots and lots of water (and peed like every 30 minutes LOL)

Measurements 1-14-10

I seem to be right at my standard measurements... I sometimes go up and down, but when I'm not working out and eating right then this is where I am. I've packed healthy food for lunch and dinner again, so today should be another good day. I'm also planning on working out again tonight, even though I'm way sore.

I'm trying to avoid carbs for a week to work the cravings out of my body and then I'll introduce whole grains back in. Wish me luck!!!

Haven't done much....

Well... I set my newest goal about a week and a half ago. I've done well at avoiding junk food and pop (until I fell off the wagon this weekend... way off), but I haven't been working out yet. I have GOT to get my stupid gym pass asap. I'm definitely not going to make my goal at this rate. Today I'm going to swing by and sign up at the gym. Then the trick will be finding the time to go. I work 5 days and 4 nights a week through the whole month...

GOAL TIME!!!

I'm not a big one for setting and keeping weight-loss goals... I usually just try to do my best and hopefully something works LOL

BUT... I am determined to drop a pant size by Jan. 1st! Here are my measurements today and they better start shrinking :)

11-22-09

waist: 36"
hips: 44"
right thigh: 25"
left thigh: 24 3/4"
right arm: 14"
left arm: 14 1/2"

To meet my goal I'd like to get to 34" on my waist and 41" on my hips. Time to get working!!!

I'm getting a gym pass next week and I'm going to try and get down there at least twice a week. Yesterday for breakfast I had a big bowl of oatmeal and for dinner I had a salad at the California Pizza Kitchen. This morning it was peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat toast for breakfast and water, water, water....

I have several reasons for this goal... one is I freakin' have 20-something pair of size 10 pants that I'd really like to start wearing, two is I have a fun photo shoot planned for January and I'd like to look a little slimmer and three is I've been talking quite a bit to a soldier in Afghanistan who will be stateside in December and on leave in February and I'm hoping to look good when I meet him in person in February :)

Wish me luck!!!

:(

Well...... almost no change :( I've been working my abs for 10 minutes most days, but my eating has been crap. I have a hot tub date on Wednesday, I'm really sad I'm so blobby, but whatever. I do well at dressing flattering, but you can't hide much in a swimsuit.

I've been extremely depressed for two weeks and haven't been eating well or drinking enough water. I need to get over it and start doing better.

This pic is me on Saturday.

I haven't had any motivation to work out for two weeks because I've still been losing, but for the first time in months I've had a 1/4 inch gain both on my waist and hips, so there's the stupid motivation LOL

Measurements :)

This week it was a 1/4 inch loss everywhere except my thighs!!! (stupid thighs) I'm way happy with my measurements... gotta keep it going.

I put a pot of water on the stove for hot cocoa this morning and then ran in my room to get my measurements while it heated up. When I saw a loss I decided against hot cocoa and switched to Pero. LOL

I get motivated when I'm losing, when I'm not then I figure who cares and eat whatever. I didn't exercise much this week, so I'm glad I'm still shrinking. HOORAY!

Mondays are Stupid

I lost another 1/4 inch on my waist this week. Hooray! But my dang hips just keep looking even bigger since my waist is getting smaller. My pants are starting to fit me better though, so that's a good thing. I think 2 3/4 inches lost off my waist in two months is pretty good progress. No complaining here about that, but I really need to lay off the crap food when I'm sad.

Friday night sucked. I totally got stood up, THEN met up with some lame guy I used to know and oh boy I'm not even gonna tell ya how that went. I didn't eat at all Friday because I was so in-the-moment stressed, but then Saturday when I was just sad about it all I ate crap. I had a Cherry Coke and big chocolate muffin for breakfast. Soooo not the way to start the day. Oh well... it made me feel happy for the moment and since the only other thing that would have made me feel better was running over the stupid guys I guess a Cherry Coke and chocolate muffin was better than going to jail. So... anyways... here are my measurements for the week :)

Not a huge change this week, just a small loss on my arms. I didn't eat very well this week, so even though I worked out all 7 days I didn't see a big change. Next week will be better!!! I am noticing I'm toning a bit, so even though I'm not getting smaller I am getting a bit fitter :)
