Well, as usual, I got busy and I did not post last week (the week of Thanksgiving!)
The day before Thanksgiving I weighed in at 191 lbs., 3 lbs. less than the week before! This week, I did not lose weight, but I did not gain weight either. (I guess I didn't over do it on Thanksgiving!)
This month I lost 1" in my bust (yea!), 2" in my waist, 2 1/2" in my abs, 1" in my hips, 1/4" in my thighs, 1 1/4" in my arms, 3 lbs., 2 lbs. of body fat, and 4 1/2 points in my BMI!
YEA! ME!
However, my biggest victory was when I got on the eliptical machine a few days ago. In May I got on the eliptical and I literally was set to do 30 min. and after 2 min. I was like okay, maybe 15 min, then I'd get to 5 min. and be like okay 10 min. I think I made it to 7 min. before I quit. 2 nights ago I got on the eliptical and I had run 2 miles in 22 min, and it was about 22 min. before I got to that "maybe a few minutes more." Now, 2 miles in 22 min. translates into an 11 min. mile, which isn't great for in-shape athletic people, but considering 5 months ago I couldn't run 10 min., I will take the 11 min. mile! Small steps! I am also looking into a "Couch to 5K" program.
Weight Watchers just launched its new program, the "Points Plus" program. Some of the changes seem a bit daunting, but I really like that all fruit and almost all vegetables are no points value! Some things now have higher points values, but they are basing their science on fiber, fat, protein, and carbs now as opposed to the old system which was essentially calorie counting. SO, I am excited to see how the new program will go!
So, it is my goal to be more diligent in keeping up with this blog as I have had such great feedback from followers and non-followers!
Thank you for your continued support!
