Today was my final weigh-in for Challenge 1. My weight was down 2 pounds for this week!! That has NOT happened to me in, I dunno, YEARS. That comes to a total of 7 1/2 pounds lost in Challenge 1. I didn’t make my 10 pound goal, but I’m pretty happy with the 7 1/2 lbs. that I did lose. They were hard fought.
I also took measurements, which I hadn’t done in 4 weeks. Here are my overall results.
- Scale weight – down 7.5 pounds
- Chest – down 1/2”
- Waist – down 3/4”
- Abdomen (at naval) – down 1”
- Hips (at hip bone) – down 1 1/4”
- Hips (at fullest part) – down 1”
- Thigh – down 1”
- Knee – down 3/4”
- Calf – down 1/4”
- Ankle – down 1/4”
- Bicep – down 1/2”
- Forearm – down 1/4”
- Wrist – down 1/8”
My next challenge, I am planning to track cycle days and plan my workouts based on where I’m at during my cycles. (It will be a mini science experiment for me to see if my body responds to this type of training.)
I will also be posting my weight/measurement stats in numbers from here on out. Just keepin’ it real.
On to a week of rest and recovery and eating at maintenance or more. Then back to business – Challenge 2!
