fisme_nasuTime just goes way too fast. Ben will be 6 months old in two weeks.
Anyway, time for a progress report.
Bust - 51" - lost .5" - total 2"
Waist 41" - lost 1.5" - total 6.5"
Hips 62" - lost .5" - total 4"
Under belly 57" - lost 1" - total 3"
Thigh 28" - lost .5" - total 2"
Upper arm 18" - lost 1" - total 2"
Well, so far the saying "last on, first off" is true - I've lost more in my waist and upper arms percentage wise than anywhere else. It doesn't seem like I'm making much progress in the hip area, but actually, I am. My horrible "apron" is lifting itself up and it doesn't touch the top of my thighs when I stand or spread so far across my lap when I sit. It's still a pain in the ass to manage while trying on clothing, but whatever.
I'm actually very surprised at the progress this week. I missed two of my three gym visits. Friday was the Katie drive, and Bren got sick, so I didn't get the chance to make it up this weekend. And Wednesday, *I* was sick. I'm going to see how I feel today, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to go. I also ate a lot of crap - chocolate cake anyone? But I'm still trying, so that's a good thing. Usually by this point, I've thrown in the towel. But I have seen progress, and the threat of wearing white and having lots of pictures taken looms largely in my brain. I do need to buy some new bras soon. My old band size is 46 and I just measured and I'm 41 there now. But the breastfeeding is still going on... sigh.
I am getting close to my goals for most of my measurements.
Bust - 47 inches = 4 inches away
Waist - 39 inches = 2 inches away (I'm going to pass this one, I think.)
Hips - 50 inches = 12 inches away (7 under the tummy)
Upper arm - 15 inches = 3 inches away
Upper thigh - 24 inches = 4 inches away
The hips are going to be a pain to get. I better start doing some ab work. Bleah.
Oh, and I still hate going to the gym. But I always feel good when I'm done and walking home. Weird.

Date: 2008-02-15 08:12 pm (UTC)you're making awesome progress though, and it's great that you haven't let bumps like illness completely derail you. that's where i get stuck. if i get sick or have to deviate from my exercise routine it throws me completely off, and i end up stopping altogether until i can motivate myself to start up again. it's bad, and i've gotten better about it, but the temptation is always there to just stop.
and of course you feel good when you're done...those exercise endorphins kicking in ;) not to mention, doing something good for yourself *should* make you feel good.

Date: 2008-02-15 08:39 pm (UTC)As you can see by my goal measurements, I'm not looking to be skinny at all. I've always had big hips, too. Yay Germanic heritage! In fact, Bren likes my butt more than my breasts, which is really weird to me. So I'm resigned to having a big butt. :)
