Monthly Measurements

Today is December 2nd. One month ago today, I started my weight loss journey to lose the baby weight and shape up!

My goal is to work out 5 days a week. It was rough today. I hadn't worked out since last Monday, and splurged a bit more than normal. I had my alarm set for 5:00, so that I could go run before Michel left for work at 6. Let's just say that 7:00 rolled around and I was just getting out of bed! :) I was going to just forget about working out today, but my sister (thanks for the motivation, Janette!) posted on FB she was looking forward to 5 a.m. for boot camp, and that inspired me to change my clothes and get to workin' out. I didn't get to do much cardio today. Sadly, my jogging stroller that I have is only for kids who can sit up by themselves, so I couldn't go jogging. I figure some type of workout is better than no workout, though, right?

Anyways, I've been keeping track of my weight and measurements. I started logging my weight loss in mid-October (before I started really watching what I was eating), and I'm happy to report that, since mid-October, I have lost 5.8 pounds! Since November 2nd, when I started watching my food intake, and working out hardcore, I've lost 3.4 pounds. I'm just glad to see the numbers going down...maybe not quite as quickly as I would like them to, but they are going down, and that makes me happy.

Weight loss: -3.4 lbs
Waist: -1 inch
Hips: -1.5 inches
Thigh: -0.5 inches
Bicep: -0.5 inches
Chest: -0.5 inches

I've lost a total of 4 inches and 3.4 pounds in a month. Not too shabby, especially considering Thanksgiving was in there, and for me it lasted from Thursday through Sunday! :)

And December 2, 2013:

I know I can see a difference! Can't wait to see what happens January 2nd!

Btw...if anyone (who is more blog-savvy than me) can tell me how to make pictures line up side-by-side I would appreciate it. I tried making one go left, and one go right (like in the Nov. pics), but they still weren't side-by-side.
