Wahoo!

I made it to 169 today officially
10 lbs since new years
9 lbs since this blog
and 6 lbs since the challenge
Unfortunately I lost my most weight (water weight) at the beginning which do not count for the challenge. Instead of the scale I look forward to a big change in body fat percentage and a big loss in inches. My tummy is the hardest to get rid of.

Today 1 hour of water aerobics, 1/2 hour elliptical, abs, and more leg resistance exercises. I had to wear a different bathing suit to water aerobics because my other one got too big. I fit into my smallest pants in my closet at the present moment. Some shirts are getting too big and some of the way too small ones are fitting nicely. It is almost time to take out my skinny clothes that I have been saving for years.

This challenge is making me very motivated to make more changes in my life and pursue all the thing I love again, art, singing, acting, friends. Communication and relationships are coming easier for me these days, because I am not so stressed, pain is alleviated a bit, and I am not so hyper or crabby.

This week I am markedly stronger, have more stamina, and my heart rate is finally dropping a bit. Today I am a bit sore , I plan to do just cardio and abs tomorrow...oh yea and yoga in the morning.
