Here's the scoop! At my 6-week appointment last week I weighed in at 175. That's a 19.5 lb drop in 6 weeks. Yahoo! I haven't weighed below 170 since I was like 19, so I'm just a couple of lbs away from that. Who knows, that was a week ago so I may already be there!
Also, we measured my body! I'm going to type below what I measured on day 1, and what I measured at the end of 6 weeks:
..........Date: 7/10.........8/20..........Loss
Neck..........34.5 cm........33 cm.........1.5 cm = 0.59 inches
Shoulders......126 cm.......117 cm...........9 cm = 3.54 inches
Chest..........104 cm........97 cm...........7 cm = 2.76 inches
Waist...........86 cm......78.5 cm.........7.5 cm = 2.95 inches
Hips...........120 cm.......112 cm...........8 cm = 3.15 inches
Thigh...........72 cm........66 cm...........6 cm = 2.36 inches
Calf............40 cm........37 cm...........3 cm = 1.18 inches
Bicep (unflex)..36 cm........32 cm...........4 cm = 1.57 inches
Bicep (flexed)..33 cm......31.5 cm.........1.5 cm = 0.59 inches
So that's a total loss using those 9 measurements of 47.5 cm, or 18.7 inches, or 2 inches per spot on my body. Not bad, eh?!?!?
That's the progress report.
This week I've been bored with eating well again. That's pretty bad, I know. I've been keeping a pretty intense record of everything I eat and when, and this past week I haven't been tracking almost at all, because it feels tedious. I just want to live life normally, and it's hard after 6 weeks to want to be all hard-core about it.
I did the Jordanelle triathlon on Saturday (under my sister Sunny Jo Lawrence's name - which is against the rules so SHHHHH don't tell). I took 3rd place in the Athena division, which means women over 150 lbs. There were 17 women in the division, and I took 3rd. Yahoo! The 1st and 2nd place winners both finished 10 minutes ahead of me, which is a HUGE gap, lol. Next year I'll take first ... that is, if I still weigh over 150 lbs. Hmmm....
The swim was 800 meters, or 1/2 mile. It took me 25 minutes. The bike was a 20k or about 14 miles and took me 49 mins. The 5k or 3 mile run took me 30 minutes. My overall time, including transitions was 1 hour 50 minutes. We'll post pictures as soon as my sister sends them over to me. It was SO MUCH FUN!
Yesterday we had a picnic in the park, me and one of my sisters and her family. We bought a watermelon, and when we weighed it at the cash register, it was a 20 lb watermelon. I handed it to my sister and said, "Feel how heavy this is? See how BIG it is? This is EXACTLY how much weight I've lost." Folks, it was one big, heavy watermelon. I thank God that I'm not carrying that weight around anymore.
Umm...so I think that's about it. I'm feeling fine, kind of tired still, but that may be because my landlord keeps turning off the A/C and it's still really hot. I still love food. And I love being the President of the "Holly Sue and Her Relationship With Food Committee." I've gotta thank O3 for bringing such a kickin' opportunity into my life. The lifestyle that comes with using the Fixx and Form products matching my body's needs perfectly.
Oh, and one more thing ... wait a minute ... what was it? Um ... oh yah! My sister-in-law brought over a bunch of clothes that her neighbor was getting rid of and we were going through them. Now, when we started this thing, I was SQUEEZING into size 14 pants. Well, I tried on a size 10 skirt from Old Navy. I could fit in on my body and over my hips, zipped up and everything. I'm not claiming it looked good. It looked pretty tight lol. BUT the point is that I fit it onto my body. I'm saving the skirt (also because it's flourescent green and how cool is that?) and I'll try it on in another 3-4 weeks. I'll take a picture if it's smoking hot :D
Ok that's all!
