It makes me feel good — it makes me feeeeel good.
(with apologies to Lyle Lovett)
Today is the halfway mark in the contest, and for someone who had a seriously slackerish May, followed by a VERY short-lived pregnancy (ie, chemical pregnancy)…I’m tickled. I even wish I’d taken my measurements a week ago today, because they would have been BIGGER than my starting measurements. But, c’est la vie, I didn’t — it probably would have discouraged me last week anyway.
Here’s what I’m looking at now:
Bust: 38.25 (-1.25)
Waist: 30.5 (-0.75)
Abdomen: 39 (-1.00)
Hips: 43.25 (-0.75)
R Upper Thigh: 24.5 (-0.25)
L Upper Thigh: 24.25 (-0.50)
R Lower Thigh: 16.25 (-0.25)
L Lower Thigh: 16.25 (-0.25)
R Calf: 13.5 (n/c)
L Calf: 13.5 (n/c)
R Upper Arm: 11.5 (+0.25)
L Upper Arm: 11.5 (+0.25)
Not too shabby. Obviously, I’d love to see that ^%$# hip measurement (oh, and the upper thighs!) go down several more inches, but you know what? I pulled back on my size 12 Levis 515s today, and they fit — unlike last time I tried, when they squeezed the life out of me and gave me a muffin-top. Much better!
On with the photos: I’ll so side-by-side comparisons of the starting pics with the midpoint pics.
May 12 ——————– June 12
Hey, they’re not huge changes, but they’re changes…and the challenge is giving me a great impetus to develop the habit of consistency. Tomorrow, I leave Santa Fe for Colorado, and Saturday, I leave from DIA to fly to Tokyo. The laptop and copies of my T-Tapp workouts are coming with me — without a 2-1/2 year old to hang on my legs, and with no work commitments, I have no excuse to not at least do BWO+ or SATI each day. If I combine that with the lovely, clean food of Japan (mmmmm, sushi!), maybe I can make even more progress while on vacation!
A girl can hope, right?
