Measurement Update

I'm sorry to be 12 days late with this - but I have also taken a 12 day break from working out so the measurements should still be accurate.  I did The 30 Day Shred 4-5 times a week for 30 days.  That was combined with watching what I eat with Weight Watchers.  Since I'm breast feeding weight loss has been slow (although in the 12 days since I stopped working out I've lost 5 pounds so the muscle is working!) but there has been a definite loss in overall mass.  So here's the verdict:

9/5/09:

Waist - 32
Hips - 41
Thigh - 24

10/17/09

Waist - 30
Hips - 39.75
Thigh - 23.5

Not too bad overall.  I'm going to start another 30 day stretch today or tomorrow and see what happens.  I'll keep you up-to-date.

Halfway There

It's been a little over 15 days since I started the 30 Day Shred.  Level 2 is still kicking my butt and I don't think I'll graduate to level 3 before the 30 days are over.  That's okay though, if level 2 makes me cry I have a feeling level 3 would have me on my knees gasping for Jillian to spare my life. Anyway, I've done the shred 5 days a week and I workout with a friend on Thursdays.  This gives me one day to miss during the week - it's randomly chosen depending on how a certain day went. However, after 15 some odd days I find myself making more and more excuses not to give my best.  So I took my measurements and I have already lost an inch off of my thigh, an inch off of my hips and a 1/2 inch off of my waist.  You would think this would be encouragement enough, but it's not - especially since the scale is not budging (Turns out losing weight while BF is a lie).  So here I am, posting on here so I'll get motivated.  Promising you, my precious few readers, that I will give my best so I can give an honest evaluation at the end of the 30 days.  That, and I'd love to lose another few inches.  And if a few pounds disappear as well, that'd be a great bonus.  The words that are inspiring me this week: I look better than you taste.  So here's to 14 more days of trying to kill myself while jumping around my living room like an idiot.
