A very quick update (8 weeks)

After two weeks of no gym time and 10 days in Arkansas with lots of fast food stops, I came home expecting to have gained a little weight back, but I weighed in this morning at 114.4.  WAHOO!

I am not able to get to the gym every day now that Mark is home, but I have been 3 times in the 6 days we have been home.  Not too bad.

We leave Friday for a week in VA.  If I can just hold steady until after that I will be happy!

Monday Measurements 3 week update

It's been 3 weeks since I started my plan and here are today's measurements.  It's hard to know if you are measuring in the same exact place and the same exact way each time... but there is a definite downward trend so that is good.  My weight was up from last week which I totally expected since I think last weeks reading was way off.  I am not too focused on weight though, and I can see a difference in my mid section so that's what matters.  

All the differences are from my original measurements not from week to week.

Bicep 10.5 (-.75)
Chest  35 (-2)
2" above navel: 27.5 (-1.5)
AT navel: 31 (-.5)
2" below navel: 32 (aka the muffin top!) (-1.5)
Hips: 35.5 (-.5)
Upper thigh: 20 (-.5)
Mid thigh: 17.75 (-1.25)
Top of knee: 13
Calf 11.75

Fat %: 30.9 (-1% from last weeks reading)

Monday Measurements: 2 Week Update

So, it has been two weeks since I started my quest to abolish the muffin top.  Here are today's stats.

Bicep 10.75 (-.5)
Chest  36 (-1)
2" above navel: 27.5 (-1.5)
AT navel: 31.0 (-.5)
2" below navel: 32 (aka the muffin top!) (-1.5)
Hips: 36
Upper thigh: 20..25 (-.25)
Mid thigh: 17.75 (-1.25)
Top of knee: 13
Calf 11.75

Weight: 114.0 (down 3.5)
Fat %: 31.9

That weight was kind of low compared to weights I had been getting all week, so I stepped on the scale a couple more times and got the same thing... so we'll go with it, but I won't be surprised if next weeks drop is just a little or none at all.  I also don't believe the fat % to be totally accurate but am just using it for tracking purposes.

Monday Measurements: One Week Update

My weight this morning was 117.4 lbs.  I also started my period last night and you will see that the measurement at my navel actually went up.  THANKS bloating. My leg measurements went down a bit in a couple places.  Not sure if it is just because of how I measured or an actual decrease.  I don't think weekly measurements will tell much until I actually get SEVERAL weeks behind me.

Bicep 11.25
Chest  36.25
2" above navel: 29
AT navel: 33.0
2" below navel: 33.5 (aka the muffin top!)
Hips: 36
Upper thigh: 20.5
Mid thigh: 18
Top of knee: 13
Calf 11.75
