Id call this a VERY successful week in my weight loss hustle. I had all around losses, didnt miss a workout, didnt cheat on my eating once. And all this with PMSing & being on my period.

I didnt hit my original goal of losing 10lbs by February 1st but, honestly, Im okay with it because I know that I made substantial progress. Or, as my father has always said to me, "Progress, not perfection." There's always next month.

Note to self : Keep this shit up, bitch. You're rocking & rolling!

I think I may start photographing myself at the beginning & end of each month so that I have some sort of visual comparison.

Current measurements (as of 1/21/12):

Hips : 43.5 inches.
Torso : 41 inches.

Progress : Minus .3 inches in my waist & .5 inches in my hips.
Total inch loss so far : 3 inches.

Despite the fact that it was only a pound lost this week, my measurements are really starting to do some of the talking. And this is also great because I missed one of my Jillian Michaels workouts this week. I also managed to maintain a healthy diet (giving myself last Saturday as my Faturday). And I truly think that that Faturday had a lot to do with the smaller amount of loss in pounds.

Regardless of any of this, Im still losing which is fantastic! I dont know that Ill make my goal of a 10lb loss by the end of the month but, Im still rocking & rolling &, to me, that's REALLY all that matters. :D

I am BEYOND excited that Ive kept this going for two weeks straight. 5.6lbs in 2 weeks is amazing progress! Im very proud of myself & intend to keep kicking ass.

My mini goal for the month is to lose a total of 10lbs. Id say that it's very doable. If I do reach this goal, Im buying myself a piece or two of makeup to celebrate my victory.
