One Month Results

I had my final workout with my trainer this morning, and after nearly killing me with a super intense workout, we did my measurements.  They are as follows:

Feb 22, 2015                                                                    March 23, 2015
Weight: 248 lbs                                                                Weight: 241.6 lbs.
Body Fat: 37%                                                                  Body Fat:  35%
Chest:  46.5 inches                                                            Chest:  46.5 inches
Right Bicep: 14.75 inches                                                 Right Bicep:  14.50 inches
Waist:  44 inches                                                              Waist:  42.75 inches
Hips: 50 inches                                                                  Hips:  47 inches
Upper thigh:  28.25 inches                                                Upper thigh:  27 inches

So, to sum that up, I have lost nearly 7 lbs, 2% of body fat, my arm is slightly smaller, but the big difference is in my hips and waist area.  I have lost 1.25 inches in my waist, and 2.5 inches in my hips, and my thighs have lost about 1.25 inches.  Overall total of 5.5 inches gone.  :)

This is so exciting to me!!!! It is a pretty big difference in just a month, and in that month, all I did was change up my eating and exercise more.  I didn't do the exercises that my trainer wrote down for me particularly consistently, but I did try to do cardio at least a couple to 3 times a week, and I did do some of her exercises a few times.  Just seeing these results makes me want to go balls out now and see just how much of a difference it will make. How much faster will the weight and the fat come off?  I am excited to find out, for sure!

I needed to see these differences, I needed to see these results, especially since I felt kind of like I was half assing it. But to be fair, me half assing it now is better than the inactivity that was before this.  I have seen growth and stamina, improvement in my physical fitness in just this month.  The workout that she put me through today was one that there is no way in hell I could have done before.  There were points where my breath came in gasps, my heart was racing, and I even felt like if I went much longer I might hurl, but I did it.  I hung in there, and only came in 3 shy of the 15 reps she wanted me to do of each exercise.  My legs are rubbery still.  I will definitely be sore tomorrow, but it was sooooo worth it! I am just a couple of pounds away from being the lightest I've been in a long time.  2 pounds away from being out of the 240's... and I plan to be out of the 240's for good! I am heading on a long journey to One-derland!
