C4 – Week 6, Day 42 of 84

Weight 124.0

I’m somewhat surprised that I’ve stayed within a half pound of last week since my eating has been somewhat off.  Some great days and some not so great days.  My workouts are going great…even though I’ve had to do many/most of them without Jodi.  Working on getting my head a little more in the game, but I am so distracted these days.  I’m thankful for journaling… helps to keep me on task.

C4 – Week 5, Day 35 of 84

Weight 123.5

I was down a pound and a half again this week.  I’m a bit off focus these days… I think it’s having so much going on personally, but I’m working out hard.

It’s high hormone time again… so we’ll see how the next couple weeks go.

C4 – Week 4, Day 28 of 84

Weight 125.0

One word…”relaxed”.  That’s what I did this week and the end result is a gain of one pound.  Just being honest and letting y’all know that not tracking like you should and eating extra handfuls of yummy candy corn can easily lead to weight gain.  So, I’ll try this week (again) to be more disciplined in my eating.  We also haven’t been working out as much as usual since we’ve had to change our workout schedule.  I’ll try harder to get all my workouts in.  It’s just not like me to miss very much time at the gym. 

Maybe it was just a good time to take a little break.

C4 – Week 3, Day 21 of 84

Weight 124.0

I knew it would be the case.  I was up on the scale 1.5 pounds.  It is Cycle Day 3, so I’m not surprised at all.  I will say that I have been busy, busy lately so I haven’t tracked my food as strictly as usual, but I did eat very typical for the week.

I’ll be back to tracking – or at least trying real hard – this week.

C4 – Week 2, Day 14 of 84

Weight 122.5

Don’t ask me how, but I was down 2.5 pounds this week.  I’m on cycle day 26, so I look for this week to be more on the upswing this week with the high hormones.

C4 – Week 1, Day 7 of 84

Weight 125

I just looked back and I’m a full 10 pounds lighter than week 1 of my last challenge. Yay, me!  I’m down a half a pound from last week.  Not sure if I should slip into maintenance or see whether I should come down to 120.  Any opinions? I’ve enjoyed watching the scale be nice to me for a change.

We’re quickly approaching the holiday season, so keeping track will be important.

Our workout schedule has had to change in the past couple of weeks and that has complicated things a little, but we’re making it work.  And we’re not playing near the tennis we were playing due to LOTS of rain.

C3 – Week 12, Day 84 of 84

Cycle Day 12, Buffing, Weight 125.5

I finished this challenge down another half pound.  That’s a total of 17 pounds since the second week of June.  Here are my Challenge 3 stats (12 weeks):

  • Weight: -10.5 lbs (from 136 to 125.5, with an average of .88 pounds per week)
  • Neck: –1/2”
  • Chest: –3/4”
  • Waist: –2 1/4”
  • Abdomen: –2 1/4”
  • Hips: –2”
  • Thigh: –1 3/4”
  • Knee: –3/4”
  • Calf: –1/2”
  • Ankle: –1/4”
  • Bicep: –1/2”
  • Forearm: –1/4”
  • Wrist: –1/8”

I’m pretty happy with those results.  I’m back in a size 4 (and some are a little big).
