Finally an update

So it has been forever, or at least feels like it, since I last posted an actual detailed update and whatnot. We went out of town for the holiday and we weren't home for a week. And then this past week I have been trying to get back into a routine, well a slight routine. I still have a class two nights a week so i needed to make sure i'm on track for that.

Anyways, I am here with an update on my stats and if i met my weekly objectives i made nearly 2 weeks ago. I didn't have time to take pictures but I will try to do so next week.

Lets start with my weekly objectives:
1. To workout at least 3 times: I do believe, if i remember correctly, that i did manage to workout 4 times before we left on vacation. And I've worked out once since we've been home, i would've like to exercise more.
2. To eat one healthy meal a day: While I did not manage to eat completely healthy over the holiday, I am proud to say that I did make responsible decisions! I only had a soda a few times while most of the time i drank water or juice.

So overall I believe I did fairly well on my goals. I could have worked a little harder in the exercise department, but I am still happy i did not just sit around and watch tv the whole time. I did also manage to walk around my neighborhood more, especially over to the little plaza just down the road from us.

Now, for my stats:
--I actually looked back and my previous stats post and I realized that I didn't post my starting weight. Oops. So my starting weight was actually 152.

Weight: 143 (I think, those dial scales are really hard to read! I need to invest in a digital one.)
Left Arm: 12in
Right Arm: 12 1/8in
Right Thigh: 20 5/8in
Left Thigh: 20 6/8in
Upper Waist: 31 4/8in
Lower Waist: 35 2/8in
Hips: 38 3/8in

I lost 9 pounds. Which is great. When we first got our gym membership I started at 159. So since started my weight loss journey I have lost 16 pounds.  Only 8 more pounds until my goal weight of 135!! 


 I think the largest change from my other measurements is with my hips where I lost a full inch. 

So, now that I have completed my update, I need to make new weekly objectives to work towards. 


New Weekly Objectives: 


1. Workout at least 3 times: I know I just had this goal, but i think setting it again might get me back on track to working out. 
2. Organize one small area of the house: This works towards getting my house in gear. I'm thinking this one small area might be my side of the bed which happens to be a catch all for things that don't exactly have a place for. 
3. Fill a box to donate to goodwill: This is another goal towards getting my house in order. If I can get rid of some clutter it might be easier to organize what needs to stay. 

Lack of Posts

I'm sorry I haven't been able to post my updates, I went out of town for the holiday and I haven't had any Internet access.

I am going to post an update on Saturday as planned, it will just include two weeks instead of one. I will also post a new objective for the week.

However I haven't been good this weekend. I wasn't in charge of the food so I didn't have healthy food exactly.

So this week I need to work hard to get my exercise and to eat healthy.
