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!
Hey ya'll! Welcome to the reboot of my blog. My short story is this: I love food, wine, and desserts- and I love to work out. It's all about balance. I lost 30 pounds over 5 years ago and I have kept it off. I love to inspire others to strive for a healthy lifestyle while still having balance and enjoying life.
