Inches

After one month of working out, smaller portions and more water here is what happened...

Teacher Arm Flab...-.5
Thighs...+/- 0
Calf...+/- 0
Waist...-1
Butt...-2
Underwire...-2
Under armpits...-1

I am still big, but stronger.
I am still flabby, but shaking it off.
I am still tired, but willing to move forward.
I am still at this!!!! 

Bring it on!

I am feeling it!  Progress is being made!  Whooo-hoo!

Still here...barely

Walking, running, panting, sweating and when it is over I am so happy and feeling great. My friends are there to support me and encourage me and (thankfully) walk and run with me. Week 2 starts on Monday....only 8 more weeks to go!

Day One

Today is the day I started the program Couch Potato to 5K. Running and walking intervals and I am off. Thanks to Hayley (see my other blog The Grateful Daily) and my sister for their support and timing me and running with me! This is turning into quite the adventure. Me? Running in a 5K in two months? Hang on folks...this is going to be a wild ride.

Not a Butt Kicking, But...

...it was a thorough arm kicking.

Yes, my sister has shown me all the right moves to make me sore in the morning...and the next morning and if I am really lucky...the next!

Good thing I am a teacher.
So I can feel the burn as I write on the board.

Yeah.

Weigh In

I weighed in this am...I was prepared for no loss or some gain due to the fact that I spent two nights at the beach with my teacher peeps.  Boy, was I surprised!  Down 1.5 pounds.  My goal was 2, but I will take 1.5 or nothing! 

I am sooooo inspired to work out this week...to keep up this level of intensity. 

February is just around the corner and then I can say that I have been doing this for a month AND that I can do it! 

Yeah me.  :)

Feeling Good

Three weeks in and I am doing good.  Feels good.  My sister worked me hard last week.  Felt good.

I do know how much I have lost last week.  I am not sure if I am going to post right now.

When I first started this blog I thought that I would be posting every ounce lost.  I am not so sure right now.  It is a little personal right now and I am not ready for my blog world (however so small) to know.  I do know that it feels good.  I am more and more ready for the longer haul...Feb is just around the corner and that month too will fly by and I feel good knowing that I am still on the track for 39x39!

How long...

am I going to be able to keep up this pace and do it? I am hoping for a really, really long time.

My Sister...my coach

Learning new workout moves.
Yeah.
Really.

Day 4 and still at it. 
Yeah.
Really.

Update

It is going well. 
It is only day 3.

I am working out at Gym Fast.
I took all my measurements.  (ugh!)
I am making my portions smaller.
I am drinking more water...but not today. 

I am hopeful.
 
I can do this!
