Inches lost this week: 1.25 inches

TOTAL inches lost since starting CFP: 25.5 inches!!! D

TOTAL inches lost since 2/28/2007: 41.25 inches!!! D

**Updated Results**
GRAND TOTAL Fat Lost: 30.52 pounds
GRAND TOTAL Lean Mass Gained: 9.52 pounds
GRAND TOTAL Weight Lost: 21 pounds

So… there it is. Not much of a difference again for this week. Weird how you can go down on scale weight yet stay the same in body fat & basically all measurements. The “weight-loss” might of been water weight or maybe even lean muscle… :?

I was feeling a bit discouraged so I included the stats where I was at my heaviest ever. Man, have I made some progress! :D Seeing the comparisons really helped me feel better about what I have accomplished till now.

====================

Sunday (Day 56): My 1 year wedding anniversary! :-)

Decided to make up for not being able to workout yesterday. I got up early in the morning (6 am) and started my day off by walking 3.17 miles in about 45-50 minutes. My neighborhood has lots of hills, so I LOVED it! Clap

Here is my run:

http://www.mapmyrun.com/walk/united-states/tx/el-paso/419380790

And the rest of my stats:

  • 3 hours of sleep (** not what you think!!!) :D
  • Exercise for the day- walked 3.17 miles
    • TOTAL time: 50 minutes
    • TOTAL calories burned: 400
  • Steps walked -10,991 steps
  • Water - 5 (32 oz bottles) = 160 oz.
  • Eating - NOT good (in the evening-ate CiCi’s pizza - ugghhh!!!)

** about those 3 hours of sleep. Hubby and I went to bed around 01:00 am or so and got abruptly woken up by a LOUD knock on our door around 4:00 pm. It was our next door neighbor asking for help because her husband had beaten her. :-( We let her in, called the cops and by the time it was all over, it was about 5:30 or so, I just couldn’t get back to sleep.
