Hi Jane-
I'm so excited to read that you're getting a new baby. I hope you are out of your funk from earlier this week. Shawn and I were talking about this the other night. Ironically, I find that I think about the big stuff like death, when things are going well in my life because the stupid little worries are gone. I'm not worrying about my relationship, my job, my looks or if people like me so I have to find something to worry about.  That drives me nuts about myself. |

Thanks, Leah! You know, maybe you are right about the funk. I really don't know where it comes from. I do tend to overthink EVERYTHING, so it may just be part of my weird brain. The thoughts are less this week, so I am sure it will pass (until next time).

I know, Jill. Maybe if I can ever get myself to do chin-ups and pull-ups I can abandon the cable machine for good!

Don't worry, you will. I only use the cable machine for pull-thrus and face pulls these days, but it always pisses me off when I have to keep adjusting the stack because each one seems to be different. You should do band-assisted pullups. I found those much more helpful than lat pulldowns or a gravitron to get to a chin/pullup. |

I'm going to include my January pics here in my log because it keeps me motivated! So, below are my beginning stats and pics for the August challenge, as well as the beginning January pics and stats
Weight: 5'8" From 160.5 to 137 -23.5 lbs
Chest: From 40 to 36 -4.0"
Below Chest: From 32 to 29 -3.0"
Stomach below belly button: 39.5 to 34.25 -5.25"
Waist at narrowest: From 32.5 to 27.0 -5.5"
Hips: From 41 to 37 -4"
Thigh: From 24.25 to 21.5 -2.75"
 
 
For the August challenge, my goals will be:
Weight: From 137 to 130
Body Fat: From 32.5 to 26.5 (as measured by the BodPod, beginning measurement taken on 6-20 and next measurement will be 9-19)
Pushups: Do 100 consecutive pushups
Swimming: To lean how to swim -- finally!
Plan: I will be tracking calories and will remain on a deficit until I reach 130 and then I will re-evaluate. I will be following Power Training.

I love how you've not only changed your body, but you've changed your comfort level as well. Look at how much you covered up in January! Now look at you - all bikini-clad and smiling. |
