Once upon a time my waist was so small that I could literally tie a kitchen towel aron it in lieu of an apron. Sadly, that was a long time and a lot of pounds ago. Though I'm not quite ready to post a current pic of myself on here - I am ready/willing to post my starting weight and measurements.
Today is Sunday, January 8, 2012. At the beginning of this week I weighed 171.5. My measurements were as follows:
Height: 5' 8"
Bust: 42"
Waist: 36"
Hips: 42"
Thighs: 23" (yes, each!)
Upper Arm: 13"
According to the health risk assesment I took at work, I need to lose 7 pounds for my BMI to move from the 'over weight' category to the high end of the 'normal' category, so my initial weight loss goal is just that -- to lose 7 pounds this month. Not that I'd complain if I could lose ten or 15 or more, but I'll be beyond happy to lose 7. I managed the entire first week of January without any cokes, Taco Casa (or other fast food) or any junky snacks. My 'splurge' for the week was an 8 ounce serving of sweet tea and a couple of Mozzarella sticks from Sonic... followed by a couple more. So for this week the goal is to be more disciplinied with my 'splurge'....a small serving of somethign sinfully delicious is a good thing, in my book. Following a small serving with a normal sized one, however, is NOT. I've got to keep this in mind this week.
I also cleared a spot in our den yesterday for P90X...I'm only committing to the ab-ripper workout and the yoga for now, but I'd like to work my way up to being able to do all of the workouts included.
