Results for last 12 weeks!

 12 Weeks ago I started a 12 week Challenge with some friends, It was a way for us to motivate each other to work hard through the holidays. My goals were to loose minimum of 20lbs and 5% body fat! Here are the final results!

                       Starting Stats           Ending stats                  Total Changed
 Body fat:             31.1%                   26.1%                              -5%
Fat Mass:             60.7 lbs                 45.1                                 -15.6                        
Lean Mass:          134lbs                    125.3                               -8.7
Weight:                194.8                     170.4                                -24.4 lbs
Hips:                    48.75                     44.5                                 -4.25
Waist (ABS):        42.25                     37.5                                 -4.75
Neck:                   13.25                     12.75                               -0.5


I was a little disappointed to loose 8lbs lean mass, but there is a possibility that my body fat was a little off today due to dehydration or other things that can cause inaccurate results. However I did reach both of my goals.

Here are the before and after pictures that I took!

I have not done well at posting this week. We were without internet last weekend when we  moved and since we got it back on Tuesday I have been busy doing other things.

I did work on my water consumption this week and did do much better but still have room for improvement. I still have a lot of work to do at our house but this week should be somewhat back to normal with most the packing undone (especially kitchen and food items). I plan on keeping up with the intensity of our workouts! I will be getting my Body Fat done later today, I will add it to this post later.

Here are some pics from Jeans I have had for the past few years, the Capris I haven't worn for a while but I used to wear them all the time about 3 years ago. The jeans were jeans I was wearing this summer after I had Tioni.


Starting weight: 175 (gained 1lb last week possibly just from moving stress)
Ending weight: 170.4
Total weight loss: -4.6 lbs!!!

Today went really good. I did really well on my diet! Workouts were great this morning I did Legs, Arms and abs and tried to really push the weight and reps. This afternoon we did a circuit called "the gauntlet" It was a HIIT type workout that included, jump rope, lateral jumps, Mountain climbers and a few other things. Each one 30-45 seconds and then a 30-45 second break. We went through that 5 times and then we did Ladders and sprints on the basketball court. It was really intense but definitely worth it!

Wow it has been awhile, we moved from our apartment into a house on Saturday, last week I was busy doing that, I worked out really hard, but needed to be better on my diet. I am not sure if it was stress related but I was up about a pound up from where I was last week. This week I am going to kill it.

Yesterday 1/21 I lifted legs and arms in the morning with 30 min Cardio, and 45 min HIIT Cardio in the evening. I was super busy during the day over at our apartment trying to clean, I didn't really eat until in the evening and only had about 1000 calories.

Today- I did Chest, back and shoulders today. I intended to go to spin this evening at 5:30, but conflicts with work and babysitting made me unable to go. I should have gone in this evening, but I have so much to do and I really feel that I accomplished a lot including making some of the meals for the week.

Total weight loss:-3 lbs!!!

Honestly this week has been a little rough on the emotional level. I had someone ask me how I felt about myself and what I had accomplished. I know I have accomplished a lot and I have totally physically changed from the person I was. However I realized I need to work more at feeling better about myself. I don't know if that makes sense but it is really different when you change from being a fat person to a fit person. Sometimes I still feel like I am that fat person I used to be, I am not where I want to be and number wise I still am considered obese but I have changed my life. I have changed so many habits to make me a healthy person. I guess I just came to realize this week that weight loss is both a physical and emotional change. I have done really well with the physical aspects but I have yet to really tap into the emotional aspects of my weight and weight loss. One thing I do know is I don't want to feel like the fat kid the rest of my life. 

So for those of you who don't know me or haven't known me very long here are some of my change pictures over the last few years (I don't have a lot of pictures of me for obvious reasons so these are what I have). Or you can read more about me by clicking here A little history.

New Years Resolutions!

A NEW YEAR AND A NEW ME!

So currently my weight is: 180.4
           I have a hard time saying I want to be a specific weight, so this is something I am going to take month by month. By Feb 1st I want to be 170!

Currently Body Fat is 28.4%
          Goal Achieve 15% to 18%!

My Selfish Goal: Look good in a bikini!
                   I am not one that has ever really wanted to wear one and I really feel a lot of women who wear them don't really rock them, But I want to rock it! (I already have a few of the raw materials others lack..) One of the things I always said is I really want one really good picture of my abs, so I want to feel comfortable enough with my self and my body to feel sexy in a bikini IN PUBLIC. (it is easy to feel that way in a dressing room but how many of us can feel that way in public, well I think that's a good goal that will really make me learn to love my body!)

Pull ups: I have yet to actually really do a pull up, But I will work on that this year! By the end of the year I want to be able to do Pull ups! (we will see how this goes)

I am going to commit now to work out 6 days a week and follow my weekly diet!

I really wanted to set up a few more goals so if you have any ideas let me know! It is great to have things I can document or track!
