11/19/12 : Month 1 Results

November 19th marked the end of my first 4 weeks of my workout program. My short-term goal was to lose 7 lbs & to tone up a little. I am proud to say that I SURPASSED my short term goal!!! Well, only by half a pound... but still!!! Ha. So I lost 7.5 lbs in the first month and boy was it HARD WORK! Finding the time and the energy to workout is not as easy as it used to be.
Also, I'm giving up my beloved Turbo Fire cardio workouts for a while. I was beginning to get kind of burnt out. I've just been doing these workouts for so long! I'm gonna mix it up with some Insanity instead, but still doing the Turbo Fire HIIT workouts as well as the Chalean Extreme workouts.
Here are my result photos for month one shown below my "before" pic for comparison. I see a small difference, but nothing major...and that's okay! It's only been one month. I know it's not gonna happen overnight. I'm willing to continue putting in the work.

 Month 1: 7.5 lbs lost

Previous Short Term Goal Met?: Yes!! Beat it by half a pound and feeling great about that. Wasn't sure I was gonna make it.

Short Term Goal (for month 2): Lose 4.5 lbs and continue to firm up. Stick to my workouts and clean diet.
Long Term Goal: With month 1's loss, my new long term weight loss goal is 24.5 lbs.

Weeks 3-5 : Accountability

I've been majorly slacking off on my blog accountability, but I HAVE been keeping up with my workouts. For the most part. Weeks 3 & 4 went pretty well, but the second half of Week 5 was a little on the horrendous side. Thanksgiving. Ugh. Lol. Anyway, I'm in Week 6 now and am determined to stay on track!!

Week 2 : Accountability

So week number 2 went well. No missed workouts. Ate clean I'd say 90% of the time. Good job, me (pats back). I will say that I have had some of my daughter's Halloween candy... but not much. Just a few. I could have sat there and seriously woofed it all down... but thank the love-handle shrinking gods... I did not. Phew. There's still some left over though, I better get my husband to hide it from me... I mean my daughter. ;)
