So today was the day…weigh in and measurements at Curves.  Well, it’s that time of the month for me, so she said she would weigh me next week.  Anyhow, she went ahead and measured me and I am going to share the changes so far with you.

Now keep in mind, I have only went 10 times.  I planned to go at least 5 times a week…well this horrid pain and some other stress crap messed me up.  But now, no more excuses.  I feel better after I go anyhow!  After dreamstimefree_2060244working out I am in way less pain.

Here are the results of my first check after 10 workouts:

  • Bust: No Change…those girls are not gonna budge.
  • Waist:  3/4 inch lost
  • Abdomen: 1 inch lost
  • His: 1/4 inch lost
  • Thighs 1/2 inch lost each leg = 1 inch lost!
  • Arms: No change
  • Body Fat lost was 2lbs
  • Weight lost, not sure.  I will know next week after Aunt Flo has went home.

I know it doesn’t seem like a lot, but after only 10 work outs seeing a change is a big boostWho knows, my measurements may be different next week as well.  I am always puffy during my period.

I really enjoy going to Curves.  The owner Marnee is super nice and helpful.  She is more than willing to give advice or a push!

I’m making changes.  I’ve been stuck in this rut for too long now.  I thought for sure after Emma quit nursing last year that I would just start dropping the weight like before.  I budged a little and then got stuck.

My eating habits are really good.  I eat a lot of vegetables and I try to have a lot of foods raw.  I go for walks and try to stay active with the kids…so what the heck is wrong??

I was talking to a friend and she made me realize part of the problem.  I am drinking my calories! I do good on the eating part, but I am blowing the limits with the things I am drinking.  I really had no idea, but now I do and it’s changing.

livestrongI started using the Daily Plate at Livestrong.com.  They have a free version and I like it a lot better than the other online food trackers.  This one has a ton of items already in the database.  When you choose a food that you ate that day it gives you an alternative.  It will tell you what you could have had instead and how many calories you would have saved.

Holy cow that will open your eyes!  Check out the drink I normally order at Starbucks:

Java Chip Frappuccino Blended, with Whipped Cream.

Serving Size: 1 Venti

  • Calories: 650
  • Total Fat: 25g
  • Carbs: 99g
  • Protein: 10g

650 calories….seriously??? So Daily Plate opened my eyes to this and now I know that I can go to Starbucks and get something much better for me such as:

Iced Venti Skinny Mocha

Serving Size: 1 Venti

  • Calories: 110
  • Total Fat: 0g
  • Carbs: 17g
  • Protein: 10g

logoThis is what I have going on…
I’m tracking my foods….everything! I am trying to up my protein, this is an area I am lacking a lot in.  For 2 weeks I am on a max of 1200 calories to get things started.  I also joined Curves and will be going 6 days a week, 30 min a day.  So wish me luck!  I have a goal and I plan on reaching it by September, hopefully sooner though!
