I truly believe that I could have the most perfect, healthy diet and it wouldn't be enough for me to lose weight. Now, I can't substantiate that claim, it's just a gut feeling I have ;)
Working out is so important. Especially strength training. And it wasn't until I did p90x that I realized how awesome it REALLY is. I mean, I read the studies, I knew the facts. But, after doing p90x and watching my waist lose inches like crazy, I was a believer.
I started p90x with a waist of 41 inches. And in that first week of p90x I lost 2.5 inches. Yes, 2.5 INCHES - just off my waist!
And as of today:
Waist: 34
Chest: 42
Rib: 34
Belly Button: 35
Hip: 43
Thigh at knee: 18
Thigh: 23.5
(original measurements below:)
Waist: 41
Chest: 43
Rib: 35
Belly Button: 42.5
Hip: 46
Thigh at knee: 19
Thigh: 25.25
That's 7 inches now just off of my waist. I love it! And my belly button area - that's a loss of 7.5 inches too! What I'm finding lately is that my waist/hip area is losing slower but my legs are now starting to tone up. And honestly, I don't care how my body chooses to lose, as long as it keeps losing.
And speaking of losing. Today was my weigh-in. I did NOT lose 3.8 pounds. I lost 1.2 pounds. I'm really happy with that.
How did I do w/ my goals?
I did NOT get my 20 AP. I got in 15AP but I swapped out eating points instead of earning AP. I don't really count that goal as a victory but since I couldn't workout I chose to eat less than normal on a couple of days and I'm happy I had control of everything to do that.
I got my water in! YEAH
I got ONE strength training workout in. Not bad but not a complete victory either.
And I DID track EVERYTHING! YEAH!
50%. I got in 50% of my goals.
Now for this week's goals. I'm going for the same four again. I WILL complete them all eventually.
1. 20 AP
2. Water EVERY DAY
3. Track EVERYTHING
4. Strength train 2 Days
Today's menu:
B: 1 egg + 2 slices reduced calorie bread + Coffee
L: Restaurant: vegetable salad + nacho appetizer (shared w/ boyfriend)
D: Tomato Bisque + Wheat Thins and Cream Cheese
Dessert: Pomegranate and Coconut Pinkberry yogurt topped w/ fresh raspberries
