Week 4

This has been a really good week. I feel that things are getting easier at the gym. My workout buddy was sick on Monday and Tuesday so we switched Monday to a rest day and then I went by myself on Tuesday. I have learned (or relearned) enough at the gym that I was able to give myself a very good workout on my own. My legs felt sore! Oh yeah!

At work, one of my co-workers brought in donuts to thank us for helping out on a project. 2 dozen Provo Bakery donuts. Donuts, the only thing that I craved my whole second pregnancy. My downfall! They sat near my desk and I could smell them! Ah, they smelled so good. They looked so good! But, I made the decision that I was going to do this journey and I knew that today (Sunday) was going to be my indulgence meal because of the Super Bowl, and I stayed strong. I left work that day without taking one of those donuts. I really didn't believe that I could do it, but I did!

Indulgence Meal 1: It hasn't happened yet as I am planning on using the Super Bowl party as my indulgence. That being said, I really don't want to go overboard and am going to try to stay relatively healthy with my choices. I also don't want to feel sick after eating a lot of foods I haven't eaten for a month now.

I decided to do my weigh in and measurements on the same day. I weighed in last Sunday and hadn't lost any weight and did my measurements on Wednesday, just like normal. I did go down some in the measurements, but I decided when I weighed in this morning that I should just measure today too. I will report today's numbers.

Weight: 248 250

Measurments:
Chest: 44 1/2
Waist: 46 (down 1/2")
Hips: 54 (down 1")
Thigh: 28
Calf: 18
Bicep: 16 1/2
Forearm: 11 1/2 (down 1/2"

I also did pictures to compare. I can totally see the difference in my face. It is huge! Also, my shirt fits down around my hips without riding up. My husband also told me to look below the 5K on the shirt because you could see a huge difference there. I didn't take a side view picture of week 1 (how I wish I had!) so we will start the comparison with Week 4.
