Because My Life Is Boring...

It's that time again! The day of the week where I update on my weight loss goals.

Tuesday: 
- 30 Day Shred

Wednesday: 
- 30 Day Shred
- 3 Mile Walk

Thursday: 
- 30 Day Shred

Friday: 
- 30 Day Shred

Saturday: 
- 3 Mile Walk/Jog (week 3 day 3 C25K)

Sunday: 
- Oops! :)

Monday: 
- 30 Day Shred

Measurements: 
Waist: 30" (no change from last week, down 1" overall)
Hips: 41" (down .5" from last week, 1.5" overall)
Weight: 161.5 lbs (down 2.5 lbs from last week, 31.5 lbs overall)

I do think that part of the loss in my hips is my body naturally re-shaping itself. I also think, however, that this process is going a little bit faster than it would if I were not exercising on a regular basis.

I need to get better about walking and jogging, but lately it has just been so dang hot that I have no desire whatsoever to go outside. YUCK!

Anyway.... that's that. Still making progress, which is awesome. I'm really, really proud of myself!

Check In (AKA Lazy Bones)

Guys. 

This past week was not so great for the workouts. I guess I'm happy that I did anything, considering the fact that we were on vacation, but here we go:

Tuesday: 
Nada. Zero. Zip. Zilch. I sat in a car for 20 hours.

Wednesday: 
Nada. Zero. Zip. Zilch.

Thursday: 
- Walked/Jogged 2.2 miles with Elsie for C25K

Friday: 
- Walked/Jogged 2.1 miles with Elsie for C25K

Saturday: 
Nada. Zero. Zip. Zilch.

Sunday: 
See Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday.

Monday: 
- Walked/Jogged 3.2 miles. I did C25K plus a little bit of extra jogging.

Waist: 31 inches
Hips: 42.25 (down .25 in)
Weight: 167 (down 1 lb)

Taking it OFF!

Happy Tuesday!! 

All right, folks. This is the part where it gets real. This is the part where I share the stuff that every woman hates sharing - measurements and weight. I can't fit into my normal clothes and money is super tight for us right now, so a new wardrobe is out of the question. Heck, even a few new staples are out of the question! I've been wandering around in too-tight t-shirts and Mike's gym shorts for a couple weeks, and that needs to end. I need to be held accountable for my weight loss/measurement goals, so this is it.

Pre-pregnancy Measurements (GOAL): 

Waist: 28.5 inches
Hips: 39.5 inches
Weight: 148 lbs

Current Measurements (picture to come... I don't have one right now): 

Waist: 31 inches
Hips: 42.5 inches
Weight: 168 lbs

To Lose: 

Waist: 2.5 inches
Hips: 3 inches
Weight: 20 lbs

Note: 
- I do not think I'm fat. I just know that I'm not at a level that is healthy for me and my body type (I am aware that I am 6'1" and you may think that my goal weight is too low - it's actually a very healthy weight for my small frame - please keep your judgmental thoughts to yourself).

The Plan: 

Up until the 6-week postpartum point: 
- Walk at least two miles every day
- Do at least 50 squats (30 normal, 20 wide leg - minimum) each day
- Do at least 40 leg lifts (2 sets of 10 each side) each day
- Do C25K running plan from start to finish (this is in addition to the two mile daily walk)
- Eat 3 servings of veggies and 3 servings of fruit each day
- One "treat" a day (chips, sweets, etc)
- Drink at least 80 oz of water each day

6-week postpartum point and after: 
- Start Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred
- Continue all of the above

GOAL: 
I hope to have the inches and weight off by September. That gives me three months to lose 20 lbs and about 3 inches. I figure that it's definitely doable!
