Weekly weigh-in. 1/1/13.

Well, I’ve been MIA since end of October. Life happens. I’m still fighting the fitness fight. I have good weeks and bad (cough, cough. Christmas. Cough, cough.). I thought I’d post an updated pic.

Me. 1/1/13.
Weight: 171 lbs. 3 lbs from 100 lbs lost!!!

Weekly Weigh-in. 10/26/12.

Well, I haven’t dropped off the face of the earth or stopped my exercising and eating right. We went home for a vacation after my last blog on 9/28/12 and I took some time away after we came home. It’s been slow progress but… there has been progress.

Just for recollection:

Me (9/7/12)

Weight: 184.5

 

Me (9/14/12).

Weight: 182.

 

Me (9/28/12).

Weight: 178.

 

And, today…

Me (10/26/12)

Weight: 173 lbs. ONE lb below MY prepregnancy weight!!! WOOHOO!!!

 

The changes in weight and appearance have been small over the past month but I’m still moving forward. :)

I’m also keeping track of my measurements and probably should post them here so I can be held accountable. Today’s measurements:

Hips: 42.25″

Waist: 35.5″

Thigh: 22.5″

Chest: 40″

Anyway, until next week…
