I still have a little ways to go before I think about breaking out a bikini, but I'm feeling good about my progress so far. I tried on a pair of pants in my closet 1 size down and . . .
. . . they fit. They actually fit: no wiggling to pull them up and no laying down on the bed to get them zipped. I just pulled them up, button, zip & viola! it was done.
To be completely honest, I think I was straddling 2 sizes when I started (more toward the higher side, though, because those pants were tight & hard to close), so I'm debating if I'm going to take this as a "size down" win. You know what? Whatever -- the freakin' pants fit and that's all I really care about.
I asked a friend to be the "Keeper of the Weights" and she accepted. She's a no-nonsense gal who won't bat for me if she thinks I'm bullsh*tting. Thank you, Lana!
I worked out this morning, same stack on cardio and worked on the weights for my lower body. I tweaked the lower body workout in the same way that The Man helped me with the upper body workout and I did feel a difference.
So what did I eat today?
- Water 24 oz.
- Multigrain oatmeal with a cup of coffee. About 300 cals.
- Roasted vegetables & couscous. About 290 cals.
- Banana coconut protein shake. About 240 cals.
- Piece of milk chocolate. About 60 cals.
- Open-faced chopped chicken with baby bella mushrooms, baby spinach & cheddar cheese on a pan-grilled sliced of Tuscan pane. About 550 cals.
Total of 1440 cals. less 327 cals. I burned off (not including weight workout) = 1113
Total pounds down since going hard: 6
