Progress...

All's good with the eating clean and consistent training....today had a great workout which I'm sure I will feel tomorrow...already do. 

Saturday, we announced our 1st big challenge. For me, I want to lose 12 lbs by Jan. 1st....6 weeks to do it. Technically, I started the weight loss journey 3 weeks ago and I would like to share my progress until now...also where I'm starting at in the challenge...weight-wise and measurement-wise.

3 weeks ago (Oct.30th) I began with the weight of 152.5 lbs. Measurements were as follows:

Waist: 30"

Hip: 43.5"

Bust: 36"

Right Arm: 13"

Left Arm: 13"

Right Thigh: 25.5"

Left Thigh: 26"

Right Calf: 15"

Left Calf: 15" 

As of Saturday (when we announced the challenge) Nov.20: Weight 147.5 lbs (5 lbs lost)

Waist: 28"  (2" lost)

Hip: 41.1"  (2.4" lost)

Bust: 35.5"  (0.5" lost)

Right Arm: 12.5"  (0.5" lost)

Left Arm: 12.5"  (0.5" lost)

Right Thigh: 24.9"  (0.6" lost)

Left Thigh: 25.2"  (0.8" lost)

Right Calf: 14.5"  (0.5" lost)

Left Calf: 14.5"  (0.5" lost)  

I feel less bulky (swollen)...increased energy, high spirits, super motivated...love it.

So...if on Saturday I came in at 147.5 lbs...the goal is to reach 135.5 lbs to hit the 12 lbs goal....hmmm...what should the reward be....other than pure satisfaction and sense of accomplishment, of course...I think I will set a prize for myself...a new pair of jeans....since my weight gain, I've refused to by myself any pants, skirts, shorts, etc...only tops because that doesn't shift too too much...just a little but a medium doesn't seem to bad...it's when you see the # of the size of the pants you now have to purchase that hurts, I find....so, provided I hit the goal, this chicita will buy herself a new pair of jeans. 

Why not reward yourself for the hard work and accomplishment...what would you treat yourself to?
