i think i'm going to start something like this.
I actually have noticed results!! Everyone keeps saying how I look like I've lost so much weight (14 lbs as of today, whoo hoo!!). My friends, family, even my realtor!! I can tell that my body feels different, not so jiggly. I know I've lost inches, I just wish I would have measured before I started. My size 14 ( :evil: ) pants were falling off my a$$ all day long today. And honestly, the best thing, my ghetto booty has firmed up quite nicely. It's still quite out there-- but at least it looks hot now! I'm very excited. And I feel great-- those endorphins are better than drugs!
And so, for today,
Elliptical-30 minutes resistance 5, 310 calories. (I remember when I first started the elliptical I couldn't do 5 minutes!)
Ab machine- 80 reps on #6
My normal arm back routine from Dec. 17. I'm going to name this arm/back set so I don't have to type the whole damn thing out.
Ate really well, I think. Last night I had chicken and vegetable stir fry with some rice.
Today- breakfast- protien shake lunch-chicken and yogurt with granola and blueberries, snack- clementines, and dinner will be pasta and marinara. Didn't do so hot on the water intake- so I'm going to have to do better with that.
To quote wild_sasparilla:

All 2 reps of 20:
Back Extension with ball
Crunches on ball
Seated Triceps extension 5lb weights
Calf raises on step
Low mount adduction with band
3 reps of 20 each: Lat pull- 50 lbs
4 reps of 20- Ab machine on #6
Better with water today- breakfast-protien shake, lunch-roast beef, peapods, potatoes (no gravy), snack-clementines, dinner- leftover pasta from yesterday.

eta,
eww, do i sound creepy? i don't care. post pics!! btw, lovely hair.
I had an icky downer yesterday--I got fitted for my bridesmaid dress. Yikes. They ask, "What size do you want us to order?" and I'm like-- uhhh... a 0! Unfortunatly that was not the reality. I took today off from working out too, cuz I had a hellish day at work. So as I sit with my Bloody Mary, I'm not gonna let it bother me tonight!
Anyway- here are my current measurements (can't believe I'm gonna post these suckers) 40" bust 33" waist 44" hips. Yeah, that's right, JUNK IN THE TRUNK!
I'm going for a good run tomorrow while the house is being shown, so until then, Bloody Mary's it is!

Frau, you're not a loser! You look great.. I wish my issue was to eat what I want and GAIN weight. Hell, I need to lose 20lbs! I'm also 5' 8", but I weigh 180lbs. :? My goal is 165lbs...hopefully we'll both get to our goals!
I must say though... Megara is quite the motivator! You go girl!! 8)
