Week One Results

So it's been an interesting week, that's for sure.  I was able to stay within 200 calories of 1400 Calories a day for eating.  I was able to eat right 6 times this week, in fact I ate right all 7 days on a caloric stand point, but I wouldn't say it was a perfect six days.  A Big Mac Meal got in there as did a donut and pumpkin cupcake with icing.  So not horrible, but not excellent either. The teacher in me gives me a B-, I have a lot of stuff to tighten up if I want to be successful in the long run.

Week two's short term goal is to do cardio 5X a week for a minimum of 30 minutes a day, 3 toning exercises a week for 15 minutes, and to eat right 6 days a week in order to lose 1-2 pounds.

Now let's see how I did in the weight and measurement category.


Beginning measurements:                                                        Week One Measurements
Weight 1XX (no I am not saying that number :P)                     Weight: 1XX   -1
Neck: 13.5 inches                                                                   Neck:  13.5   no change          
Shoulders: 42 inches                                                               Shoulders 41.5    -0.5
Bust: 43 inches                                                                       Bust  42               -1
Chest (under armpits and across) : 36 inches                           Chest: 36 no change
Thigh: 25 inches                                                                      Thigh: 24.5       -0.5
Calf: 15 inches                                                                        Calf: 15     no change
bicep: 13 inches                                                                      bicep: 13 no change
Hips: 45 inches                                                                       hips: 44   -1
Waist 1 (smallest part of waist): 35 inches                                waist 1: 34  -1
Waist 2 (over belly button): 39 inches                                     waist 2: 37.5   -1.5

Well I have lost a total of 5.5 inches in the first week, that's very encouraging!!!  And I lost a pound which means I am on track to be losing 6-10 pounds in the next 6 weeks.  


Through last year when I was losing weight, I didn't really lose a lot of inches in my neck or chest area those areas pretty much stayed the same so I am not suprised to see no movement there.  I also didn't see much more than an inch shift in my calf or bicep so those aren't surprising. What I find the most encouraging is the loss of inches in those areas that are so problematic for me, my hips and waist!!  I always identify those areas as my problem areas with my thighs, but hopefully this will start dropping and I can begin to feel like I have no problem areas!! 


Bring on week 2!!!!!
