stats update: week 4

It's that time again. I wake up, it's Wednesday and I know that the report must be done. I weigh myself, ok It cuss is not getting any worse. Then the measuring. I try to accurately measure everything as best as I can. DONE! phew, it's over. Comparing, comparing, and already I can take that. Then it's over. Time to start another week of trying to keep my eating goals, trying to find time to work out at least 3 times a week, and trying to stay on top of my food journal. 

I have recently found a liking for running. I like pushing myself to run just one more lap, or just one more turn, one more block. It's awesome! And I like that it just gives me time to think. For example I was thinking last week while I was running my normal 2 mile path that I want to try and run a half marathon this summer. It was at the end of my path that I decided I was going to train to run that half marathon. And you know what??? It was also in that moment that I decided that I was going to run that 2 mile path 2 times in a row, right there! So last Saturday I ran 4 miles without stopping once! I was so proud of myself. It was awesome! It was so tiring! But I plan on doing it again this weekend. 

Now for the stats from week 1 to week 4

            week 1            week 4
Weight-        149                 146
small waist-   31                   29    
large waist-   34                    32
hips-             37                    35 1/2
arms-            12                   11 1/2
thighs-           22 1/3              22
mid butt-       40 1/2              39 1/3

So after a month I was hoping that the change would be slightly more drastic but it's good for now:)

Thanks for reading:) 

progress!

Yay! The stats are in for week 2 and 3! I have been trying to work out at least 3 times a week and eat healthier for the last 3 weeks. I take pictures and measure myself every week, usually on Wednesdays. So here it is!


                   week 2            week 3
Weight-        148                  146
small waist-   30 1/3              30    
large waist-   33                    33
hips-             36                    35 1/2
arms-            11 1/2              11 1/2
thighs-           22 3/4              22 1/3
mid butt-       39                    39 1/3 (what?)

i'm happy with it:) I have also been keeping a food log to see what it is that I have been eating. I like it because it helps me see that good things that I am eating, the times in the day where I am most likely to have a moment of weakness, and of course all the crap I use to eat and have really cut down on, namely Juniper food. If you aren't aware, I have been an employee at a restaurant Juniper Take-Out for just about 3 years. And oooooooh their food is GOOD! Fried, grilled, and buttery stuff they have there. And extremely fattening!   Oh MY! That was a crucial thing that I had to do to start seeing results after my work outs.

My work outs consist of running, usually about 1-2 miles right now about twice a week. Yoga 1-2 times a week, and I attend a aerobic kick boxing class on Mondays. I'm trying to do the best I can with the little time I have available in the middle of school. I think i'm doing alright for now.

Anyways. That's it for now. Thanks for reading!
