The I don't want to be the fat girl in the picures update

[DCJenn]

OK- so just to prove the diet and exercise really do work:

I started working out consistently the last week of March. Here we are, the last week of May and this is the status:

pounds lost: 6
inches lost: waist 1.5
upper thighs: 1.5
calves: .5
upper arms: .5
chest/back: 0

I'm comfortably back in most size 8s and I have more muscle definition than I have had in years.

So- what's the underlying story? 3 weight lifting sessions a week with a trainer. 2 cardio sessions a week at the gym. At least 2 long walks pushing the stroller and walking the dog per week. Yoga when I can fit it in. Swimming in the pool w/ Nikolai- which is usually just catching him as he jumps but it can be an excellent arm exercise after an hour!!!

Two months down, four more months until my now skinny husband returns. (hopefully) (see my blog for the most recent pictures of him!)

ETA: I was trying to stick to about 1500 calories a day but it's just not enough. I'm hovering at about 1800 calories now and am much more pleasant to be around. I'm concentrating on whole grains, brown rice, fresh fruits and veggies and about 3 ounces of meat per serving. Plus lots of skim milk and low-fat yogurts

Wow, that's impressive. I feel tired just reading your training routine but that says a lot about my lack of exercise. :thud:

Go Jenn!

I'll be supportive, but I don't have to like it.
