Day 30
Where to start?! Haha!! Today has definitely been a good day. I took my measurements, and pictures, and did a little math ...
Yeah, it's all good.
Friday, I had a delivery slip in my mailbox from the post office, today, I finally had time to get over there and pick the package up. It was my yoga DVD (Tony Horton's "Ho' Ala Ke Kino"), and Turbo Jam DVDs. So, instead of doing sweat 3/4, you know I had to check out the new DVDs!! Haha! ;) The yoga DVD is good, got some serious stretching in my lower extremities, mostly. TJ will definitely take time for me to get used to! You know, getting the hang of the moves. (That is one thing about Tony, you can figure out what you're supposed to do pretty easily. On the other hand, TJ is more fast-paced, so, she can't go slowly through the movements.)
Something really cool happened on my HR monitor. I got a screen I've never gotten before. Apparently, when I achieve certain success with my HR monitor (I was at 79% of my weekly calorie goal this week.) I get a trophy!!
I thought that was kind of cool! I don't know if it'll stay on there for the day, or the week, or what, but, I'm impressed! Normally in that spot is a little picture of an EKG.
For the measurements, I'm also quite proud of my accomplishment. I haven't particularly noticed a change in the way my clothes feel, or fit, other than that the low-rise jeans zip up without me needing to "suck it in." I have been getting complements lately of "apparent weight loss" by coworkers, and fellow Weight Watcher attendees. I had also noticed that my stomach was a little flatter, so, I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised at the changes in my measurements.
Measurements:
body part-----day 1-----day 30
Neck----------13--------13
Chest---------39--------37.5
Waist---------37--------33
Hips----------44--------42.5
R. Upper Arm-12-------12
L. Upper Arm-12-------12
R. Forearm----10.5-----10.5
L. Forearm----10.5-----10.5
R. Thigh-------25-------24
L. Thigh-------25-------24
R. Calf---------15-------15
L. Calf---------15-------15
Weight--------160.8----158
Body Fat %----45.6%---39.6%
BMI-----------29-------28.9
Body Fat percentage calculation was from Body Tracker. I plugged in my weight and measurements into the form on their website to get the number. I come up with 9 inches lost in the last 30 days.
The pictures were taken from different angles, one definitely closer than the other (camera turned sideways versus regular). I am wearing the same clothing, a spandex tank and bike shorts, however, in order to show my abs, I rolled up the tank top for the Day 30 pics.
Front:
Side:
Back:
Yes, I realize the back pic is blurry, but I really didn't feel like retaking after I'd gotten dressed back into regular clothes!! The one I took with the shirt down isn't blurry, so, I suppose I could use that one. On Day 60, I will remember to stay out of the frame when I push the shutter so that it can auto-focus on the bookshelves for my auto-shutter, instead of my chest.
Goal for tomorrow: More of the same! ;-) Actually, my goal is to complete the sculpt 3/4 workout, with the same reps as I did on Sunday, except this time, I'm going to make it all the way through, and do those MAX push-ups and squats at the end (19 each ... gotta add to my previous number).
Yeah, it's all good.
