Well the numbers for this month are all really good. I'm almost down to a 22, from a 26 size jean. I've lost like 20 inches overall. I've lost somewhere around 10 pounds.
But, after taking these pictures I feel down about it. I can't see any difference. The only difference I can see is that I'm a little smaller around the middle level with my elbow. I know I shouldn't care, but its bumming me out. I think I'm going to start taking 4 or 5 measurements before the next month's check in, and averaging them out. There's too much possible statistical error without doing that. 20 inches seems like a lot to lose without being able to see it in pictures.
I'm hoping to start working out at this new "personal training studio" here in town. The guy that runs it is a body builder, and had pix of women lifting on the website, so hopefully he'll be supportive. And hey, if not, I'll find somewhere else.
Its getting to be fall, which is my favorite time to run. And recently I've been having a burning desire to run. Probably because when I started running freshman year it was fall, and IU is the most gorgeous campus in the fall. But anyways, why don't I on those occasions you ask? Because I can't breath and then I get all kind of discouraged. I think I'm just going to have to get over that. And ya know, quitting smoking might help. lol. Thats my goal for the week. To go for at least one run.
I'm stealing my bro's bike, so I'm excited about being able to bike the three miles to campus while the weather is still ok. I'm sure I won't be able to do that once the snow comes, but for now it will be nice.
Ok, thats about it. Hope everyone is happy with their progress in the challenge!! I'm just going to try to stay positive and take it one day at a time. :-D
