Nothing much to report which is why I haven't reported. No great movement on the scale and I'm still plugging away at the gym 4 days a week. My body still hurts after my sessions but not nearly as bad as it did the first few weeks.
I have not noticed any significant change in my body but I will press on because I actually really do enjoy going.
Now if I could just get S to go with me!
The weather is glorious but they are calling for a bit of rain this weekend. Boo....
R is out of school now so he will be home with me everyday. We need to get him a job so he's out of my hair or he will drive me batty. He sleeps until noon everyday! UGH.
That's it....

Plugging on
Weight stayed the same this week but I'm actually ok with that. It was my TOM this week and it was a doozy and also I have been working my leg muscles at the gym and they are sore.
Been doing some reading online and it's very common to retain water after work outs for days to weeks to repair muscle tears. So that's what I'm going with!!! :)
Decided to take some measurements yesterday as I start this newish journey and then compared them to the old measurements that I took a year ago.
Here they go:
June 13 - 2018
Weight - 200
Waist - 41
Hips - 45
Bust 43.5
June 6 - 2019
Weight - 167.5
Waist - 36
Hips - 41
Bust - 40
R Thigh - 21.75
L Thigh - 22
R Arm - 12.5
L Arm - 12
The workouts have been going well, I try to do 15 minutes of interval running on the treadmill which seems to be good and really gets the heart pumping. I tried the elliptical but I hate that thing. I just feel awkward on it.
Then I move to strength training. Trying to work either upper body or lower body in a session and I do about 10 different exercises. I'm going to incorporate one full body day as well on either fridays or saturdays because I know I will have a good rest day the next day.
Then I finish off the workout with 5-7 minutes of bike and a full stretch.
I do my upper body workout on the ladies side of the gym because it's mostly free weights and the lower body on the mixed side of the gym. I actually feel more comfortable on the mixed (men's side). It's a larger space and I really feel like nobody is watching me. On the women's side, you are being watched. I know this because I watch as well.... women love to compare, it's just in our nature I think!
So plan for this weekend is good workout tonight and then trip to the pub. Tomorrow S is working all day so I'll do a full body work out in the morning and run some errands at the mall in the afternoon. Sunday going to visit a friend that just got home from the hospital and then maybe a trip to the nursery to replace a bunch of plants that have died on me!
Here are two pictures that I wanted to take of my arms.... Left one I'm not Flexing, Right one I am!!! LOL.... What a HUGE difference, NOT! One day...
