This morning I checked out of my Cerner Slim Down weight challenge.

WOW this 10 weeks went fast.
I'm so pleased with the outcome.

I weighted out at 14 pounds lighter

it was 7.7% of a weight loss.

Personal Trainer #1

This morning I started my Personal Training sessions from my friend Michelle!
I started out (on my own) with 25 minutes on the elliptical (at level 10)

Then worked out with Michelle.
Today was not overly hard but not a piece of cake (so to speak) either!
*2 sets of 15 ....
squats with dumbbells
lunges on the slider matte
pull downs
bench presses (without weights)
step ups with weights
planks
and twisty things with weights
(don't cha love the names I've made for these things?!?!)

for the record ...

I weighed in at 172.75 pounds
Chest 37 inches
waist 33.25 inches
hip 40 inches
thigh 22.25 inches

Slim Down day #1 (02/01/10)

This morning marked our first weigh in and
workout with our "Biggest Loser" type program at the local Y.
I knew what I weighed so it wasn't a surprise.

I weigh 203 pounds

my measurements are

Chest 41"

Waist 40.25"

Hip 45"

Thigh 25.75"

to my knowledge this is the biggest I've ever been!

My friend Stephanie goes at 8 and does the water aerobics.
I meet her there for an hour of working out together.
Today we did the Elliptical machine.
then I went to a low impact aerobics class.
In the middle of the class I swore I was going to die.
So it must have been doing good, right?
I made it all the way through the class.

Then I came home and got out my Calorie King program.
I love this program it makes watching what I eat a breeze.
*I paid $50 for this program eons ago and they still allow me to download new foods, BUT there is a similar program that is free. I don't recall the name right now, but if you're interested just look around.
