Week (or Weak ...) 4

I meant to post on Day 16, but the days have, once again, gotten away from me.  So I find myself here, on  Sunday morning, mourning the loss of our baby mouse (which is another post altogether), with a little time on my hands before this morning's workout.

And, honestly, I was feeling a little frustrated around day 11.  I mean, here we were, working our asses off, and I had gained a pound.

Yes, GAINED.

And I'm pretty sure I leave 5 pounds worth of sweat on the floor every day.

But, alas, on Day 15, we did our second fit test and I was pleasantly surprised to see some marked improvement.  Then I did some measuring (because the scale said +3 on day 21...) and also saw some pretty good improvement.

So here you go.

Day 15 Fit Test:

Switch Kicks: 104
Power Jacks: 57
Power Knees: 106
Power Jumps: 35
Globe Jumps: 10
Suicide Jumps: 15
Push-Up Jacks: 23
Low Plank Obliques: 50

And Day 21 Stats:

132.7 lbs.
Waist: 28 3/4 inches
Hips: 37 inches
Left Thigh: 21 3/5 inches
Right Thigh: 21.5 inches

So, not too shabby, I guess.  For those of you who have talked to me, you know the eating is going well (though Tim and I have decided that the 5 meals a day crap is for the birds ...); we are eating healthier.  But, no, the non-alcohol days only lasted about a week.

Well, until Friday night to be exact.

But I did give up my wine on most nights.  (Which is OK because light beer is better for summer anyhow ...)

And I can feel a difference in my body.  Things are tighter.

But I still want these stupid love handles to disappear.

We still have a month and a week to go.  I've read that the pounds really start melting off in the second month, so here's to hoping.

Thanks to everyone who is keeping up with this endeavor.  I will say this -- you should absolutely not try this system if you haven't done something as hard core previously.  It would be a waste of your money to buy it if you can't do the workouts.

And Tim and I still can't make it all the way through without stopping.

Several times.

But we'll get there!!
