Week 8 in progress!!!

Wow, I cannot believe that this is Week 8 of the Challenge. I am just stunned at how fast it has gone. Just little more than 4 weeks to go!!! A brief summary of my own ups and downs of the Challenge until now:

*The original goal was 6 days a week in the gym. I am regularly working out an average of 4 days a week.
*The original goal was 3 days of cardio alternated with 3 days of weights. I am regularly doing both cardio and weights in the same visit to the gym
*The original goal was to alternate upper and lower body workouts. I am regularly doing both upper and lower body in the same visit to the gym.
*The original goal was to eat 6 times a day. That has gone right out the door. I AM making more sensible choices 60% of the time. Weekends are my downfall.
* I started the Challenge as a size 12. I am happy to report that I am between an 8 and a 10, depending on which brand I am wearing. The 10's are all pretty loose though.
*I have lost 10 pounds of fat
* I wish I knew how much muscle weight I have put on!!!! I am seeing definition.
*I have lost inches everywhere, but no record of starting point. :(
* The original goal was to wear a bikini by the 4th of July. As of right now, I am still incredibly self-conscious in a bathing suit of any kind, especially a 2-piece. I have body issues/ low-self-esteem about my shape, so not sure if I will ever rock the 'kini, but I will faithfully post a pic in 4 weeks. And then crawl under a rock. ;)

So that's where I am right now. Definitely seeing progress! Thanks to all who have followed along so far. The end is in sight!
