And I missed those 4 workout days fooling around (< click to read my story), but I got my act together quick (< click to read the other story) and today those 10lbs are gone as of today. I weighed in at 159.4lbs this morning. Back to normal, but this means that I am 4 days more behind on reaching my current goal. Each day counts ya’ll.
My new weight lifting routine is going well . I also do cardio interval circuits (mostly HIIT) 3-4 days a week instead of 5 to 6 + I stretch and do yoga 6 days a week so I can get better at it (I’m in love with Yoga). I have been subbing in other workouts made by other people just to try out and I’m loving doing this as an alternative to my own workouts (switching things up works). For example, I do legs on Mondays and I’ll sub in a great leg workout and do it on that day. The template is still the same, but the workouts my not exactly match. It’s all good!
As for my diet, I slipped up knowingly and nipped in the butt quick so no worries really. For the most part I’ve been eating 90% clean all month and it’s showing pretty well. I can always do better and I’m challenging myself to eat clean 100% this month with no cheat meals in the mix at all. Day 2 almost down…27 to go. This is going to be so so so hard.

My January 2012 STATS…FROM 1/1/12 TO 2/1/12
From the Scale: 1/1/12 (161.0lbs) – 2/1/12 (160.2lbs) = Lost .8lbs
From the Tape:
1/1/2012 <> 2/1/2012
Arm (left) = 12.5 <> 14.5 – hmm, odd.
Arm (right) = 12.5 <> 14.5
Neck = 13.25 <> 13.25
Bust = 33 <> 33.25
High Waist = 28 <> 28.5
Waist = 30 <> 29.5
Low Waist = 30.5 <> 31
Wrist (left) = 6.5 <> 6.5
Wrist (right) = 6.5 <> 6.5
Hips = 37.5 <> 37.5
Thigh (left) = 22.5 <> 22.75
Thigh (right) = 22.5 <> 22.75
Calf (left) = 14 <> 14.75
Calf (right) = 14 <> 14.75
Not sure how accurate my numbers are because TOM started on the day I took them (2/1/12). I was a teeny bit bloated. I carry water in my arms and in my mid-section during TOM. Sucks. Grrrrrrrrrrr! My last month’s measurements and for the year of 2011 can be found here .
