Week one Results
We are now into a week or so of my new "Trust Plan". I've been asked for updates and am excited to give an update! At the start of this process, we weighed me(talk about ultimate trust), and took measurements of different parts of my body. We took the measurements eight days ago from yesterday so we remeasured last night. We were not able to weigh until Friday of last week due to complications with a scale so the weight loss only reflects from Friday until Tuesday. Here are the much anticipated results!! We measure biceps, neck, bust, waist, hips, thighs, calves, total thigh, total around both of my arms, and I think that is all. The overall results for that was a total of 1 inch lost. I lost more than that in a few places, stayed the same in others, and had more in a few others. Now, obviously this will be better calculated over a longer period of time and will take into account errors in our measuring, such as not knowing the exact place every time or pulling the tape measure tighter or softer. However, I was pleased to see that and it was a good motivation. Weight wise, I lost 3lbs since Friday!! wahoo!!! so that was exciting as well. Overall it seems to be a good start to this plan!
It was funny last night after I finished my Tae-Bo, I was telling Dan that ole Billy seemed to have inserted more pushups and more sets into this workout than any other before. He gave me a weird look and asked if I knew I was doing the same video I had been doing. I said i knew but that Billy was one sneaky guy. :) It was encouraging because what that observation really means is not that I'm going crazy and thinking that my video changes on me but that in fact I am doing more of the push ups and sets! It still kicks my butt but I feel much better after it and can actually walk this morning and am not sore. Overall it's been good and is exciting! I hope I can keep it up.
P.S. This pilates picture is a picture of another one of my tormentors.

Sorry it took me so long to respond, my boyfriend broke up with me and I'm sad!!!!!!!!!
Yay, good job Sam!!! I heard on the radio yesterday that 70% of women who resolved to lose weight this year have already given up their New Year's Resolution. So you are already in the top 30%, which should be encouraging.
I think you should go to the Rec Center, and have them test your body fat with this new infrared thing they've got. It's totally painless, very high tech, AND there's no pinching, de-robing, or embarassment of any kind. You just sit in a room and they zap your arm with a laser and tell you what % you are... That would be a great way to measure your progress. I know you're not a student anymore, but maybe ask if you could pay to have it done. They used to do it on the first Monday of every month when we were in college.
Man sorry about breaking up with your boyfriend! that always sucks! maybe you guys can reconcile it after some time.
That's a good idea about the body fat thing, although I'm not sure I'm ready to face that reality yet :)But i might check into it. Last night instead of doing pilates, since it was so nice outside, i went and walked/jogged the two-mile trail around the schools and that was great because I was having to push myself.
It's been good to experiment more with eating healthy and trying to do "creative cooking". So we'll keep plugging along and hopefully transform into a new me!!
