So today, Sunday, is weigh in day for the X-Weighted Challenge. I was a bit shocked to find that I'm now weighing in at 166 (down two pounds from last week's 168)!! I'd been home, sick, for most of the week and it really didn't feel like a good week for my food intake - for me when I'm home it gives me more opportunity to graze the kitchen and generally I eat more than I need to. But, apparently I did ok because it certainly wasn't the exercise.
This week I got a full day of downhill skiing in on Monday, a noon hour workout on Friday, and a 60 RealRyder class on Saturday (which was AWESOME - Max, I love your classes!). That's it. Maybe the skiing made up for the two missed noon hour workouts? Who knows, but I'm thrilled! I believe the last time I weighed 166 was in university.
Actually, I am really starting to notice some body changes. The most dramatic I think are my thighs. They are smaller and tighter, and the shape is back. There is no cottage cheese on them and the saddlebags on the outside of the tights are gone. I can actually see daylight between my thighs when my legs are together!!!
The other notable changes are mostly in my waist and chest - I know there have been changes in my arms, calves, back, etc but they have been gradual and there wasn't as much to change there I think.
So, the start of another week and I'm feeling GOOD! My health is better (only about 85%, but each moring I wake up feeling better so hopefully another few days and I'll be right-as-rain) and I'm encouraged by my results this week!
PS I'm still using the My Healthy Plate program, and I'd really recommend it for anyone who's trying to stay accountable for what you are putting in your body. I don't need to use it everyday as I've developed some great eating habits, but its a great way to check in and stay on track!
