Friday's Progress Report (Week 6)

Six weeks and most progress has stalled, for the moment.  I lost a couple of pounds this week, but my measurements stayed the same.  That's alright though, I'll keep it up and I'm confident that my body will push through the plateau.

How am I progressing at my goals?

1. Goal weight is 135.  I have lost 15.8 of the 44.8 pounds I need to lose.  35% done!  :)

2. Have a BMI below 25.  Lost 2.7 of the 5.4 points I need to lose.  50% done!

3. Have a body fat percentage below 24%.  I started at an estimated 42% and am now down to 34%.  Lost 8% of 18% I need to lose.  44% done! 

4. To be physically fit.   I am still off on this one - it is so hard to get back in a routine - especially when I'm tired.

5. To feel comfortable in my clothes.  This is such a great improvement.  :) Although, I went clothes shopping for a few items this week and I realized that I still have quite a ways to go before I truly feel like I look the way I want to.  It's unbelievable how extra fat makes you feel so BLAH!

6. To look decent in a swimsuit and lingerie. This is getting so much better!  Obviously I'm not there yet, but I'm definitely on my way. 

7. To have enough energy/stamina to play actively, for a prolonged amount of time, with my kids.  This has improved tremendously - I'm loving that!

8. Spiritual Discipline: This has suffered along with my working out.  I need to get back into a routine and crack down on my discipline. 

9. Be content in all circumstances.  I think I have been doing much better at this. 

10. Get 7-8 hours of sleep per night, preferrably consecutive hours.   I think if I can get this one under control (which I haven't yet - it's just so tempting to stay up late at night when it's still light outside) - I will have more energy to exercise and do devotionals. 

I am so grateful and blessed to be on this journey!  Loving it!  Thank you for sharing it with me!
