Tara, it's great motivation for me! That's why I post it.
LOL Ogun. It's difficult to measure some of those spots by yourself! Mutt, I think I maybe don't always measure in the exact same place. I can't imagine that my calves & waist have gained while something like my bicep lost a LOT. -------------- ~Jennifer http://www.gwindalyn.com If you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything. |

Not much progress at all. No excuses. I have been lazy and not sticking to my exercise plan and I've had too many cheat days the last couple weeks. Plain and simple. And this morning at the gym it was painfully obvious. I must say I'm quite disgusted with myself over it. This week, it's time to get back to it.

Don't get disgusted with yourself ever. That is a trip of guilt and eating cycle which leads to nowhere. We all have off days. Just keep your journal and make sure it does not turn to habit. Use these kind of days as a learning experience. You are losing I see and I bet changing will all that exercise. Keep it up. I read your bio and am impressed.

You still managed to lose 2 lbs and that is progress. Don't beat yourself up about it. I am starting over today too, as I was vacationing last week and fell so far off the wagon it almost ran me over.

Dunno if the competition thing is still on, and it doesn't matter really. What's most important is that I keep on track for myself. I'm going to keep posting to this thread with updates until I get to where I want to be.
Height: 5'7-1/2" Weight: 205lbs Body Fat: 27%(According to the FT calculator) Chest: 38-1/2" Bust: 44-7/8" Waist: 37-1/2" Hip: 43-1/4" Calf: right-17-1/2" left-17-1/2" Thigh: right-24-1/2" left-24-1/4” Forearm: right-10-1/2" left-10-3/4" Biceps relaxed: right-14-3/4" left-14-3/4" Biceps flexed: right- 15-1/4" left-15" Wrist: right-6-3/4"- left-6-3/4" Neck: 14-1/2” No change for the last month at all really. I'm no where near where I had hoped I'd be. I know it doesn't go fast, and I WANT slow results so that I know it'll stay that way. I started tracking on April 16. So in 102 days (14.5 weeks), I've lost 5lbs, 2%BF, a total of 3-5/8", and 1 pant size. I am VERY happy about losing the pant size, and I'm not paying much attention to the actual weight. I've made progress, but I personally believe I should have had better results in almost 15 weeks. And I won't make any excuses. How I progress is my doing, and only my doing. It's a direct reflection of how much effort I have put into it. My goal was to be able to wear a size 12 jeans by the last weekend of September. I now wear a 16. I have 8 weeks to go. At the rate I'm going, I wouldn't be in a size 12 by Christmas, much less September. Obviously, my losing has plateaued off. Going to try reducing daily calories by 250 and making the cardio more intense. I'm going to add jump rope to the cardio also. -------------- ~Jennifer http://www.gwindalyn.com If you dont stand for something, you will fall for anything. |
