Fitness Update!!!

Alright y'all.  Here it goes.....sharing the numbers.  Easy?  No!  But, I want to keep it real and if sharing these numbers can inspire even just one person to get active and eat better than its worth it!! 

 

Like I've shared before, I began a bootcamp program back in October.  And then just a couple of weeks ago I began eating Paleo.  Each bootcamp session is 6 weeks long and then the trainers do assessments and keep track of our body fat, weight, and measurements!  Check out this short video clip to see a little of what bootcamp is all about.....

 

 

Now for the scary part....sharing numbers!  When i began bootcamp on October 15th, 2012 my number were:

 

Weight: 211 lbs (YIKES!)

Body fat: 38.2% (super YIKES!)

Chest : 41 in.

Waist: 43 in.

Hip: 49 in.

Thigh: 27.25in

Bicep: 13.25 in

 

UGH.  Its still so hard to believe that i let myself get to that point.  But, that's the old me!!  Last night, 5 1/2 months later my numbers were:

 

Weight: 190 lbs

Body Fat: 30.2%

Chest: 35.75 in

Waist: 36.25 in

Hip: 44.5 in

Thigh: 23 in

Bicep: 12.5 in

 

getting measured last night!

So....the fun numbers!!  The weight, fat, & inches I've lost!!

 

Weight: -21 lbs.

Body fat: -8%

Chest: -5.25 in.

Waist: -6.75 in.

Hip: -4.5 in.

Thigh: -4.25 in.

Bicep: -3/4 in.

 

A total of 21.5 inches lost!!!

 

Facing these numbers isn't easy.  I've still got a LONG way to go but I'm working at it!  And I'm getting there!  I want this to be a lifestyle....I don't ever want to see these numbers again.  I want to feel good about me again.  I want to be healthy and well so that i can enjoy my family and the life I'm blessed with!  I want to be a positive example to my boys.  There really isn't a down side to it!!  Yes, it's a time commitment.  Yes, it's hard.  But anything worthwhile takes time & hard work, right?!

 

 

Every journey begins with a single step. 

I'm grateful that my journey is underway and I'm grateful for Fixed on Fitness and for Troy (my trainer) who is completely dedicated & committed to helping me be the best me I can be!
