So not the greatest loss. I went off track a few times this week. I know I can lose weight faster if I were more disciplined in my eating. One thing that is important to me is that I keep the weight off. I would rather lose slowly than to lose big quickly and have the weight return once again. There is always room for improvement. This week I am going to do better in my eating!!
Exercise:
My goal is to get in 5 workouts (45-60 minutes) a week. I am proud to report I have done just this! In fact most weeks I get in 6 work outs. I have failed to report my exercise last week.
Water Intake:
Doing well. I make my goal of 80oz. most days. Some days I do fall a bit short, but not by much, a few ounces here and there.
Measurements:
In the past week I lost a ½ inch on all of my mid section including: ribs, waist, belly and hips! Since I have started the challenge I have lost the following:
Weight | 201.3 | 193.2 | 8.1 lbs | |
Neck | 13.5 | 13.5 | 0 | |
Chest | 43.5 | 43 | -.5 | |
Ribs | 39 | 36.5 | -2.5 | |
Waist | 41 | 40 | -1 | |
Belly | 46 | 44.5 | -1.5 | |
Hips | 45.5 | 44.5 | -1 | |
Calf | 16 | 16 | 0 | |
Arm | 15 | 14.75 | -.25 | |

ReplyDeleteJust keep doing the right things and weight will continue to disappear. We really choose how fast the weight comes off with the choices we make. Accountability can be such a bummer but is necessary. Revisit your goals and things will be just fine.
ReplyDeleteThe best thing is you are making progress. Sure it is slow, but it will come off. Have a great week 6!
