Friday Progress Report (Week 10)

I apologize for being late again!  Last week was just a doozy - I'm sure I'll post about it later (let's just say it included writing an intense report for the FMCSA and sapped up lots of time and energy). 

Even though I am late in posting, these are the numbers from last Friday. 

The plateau seems to be breaking.  I've moved into the 150s for weight - which I have not seen since college.  I was a little shocked to realize that somehow that has been a DECADE!  Well, now I feel old!  :) 

Anyway, here's where I stand:   

Height: 5'4.5

Weight: 157.4 (Started at: 179.8, Last week: 160.8)

• Loss this week =  3.4 pounds
• Total loss = 22.4 pounds (Wahoo!  Broke 20 pounds!)

Bust: 39" (Started at: 43", Last week: 39")

• Loss this week =  0"
• Total loss = 4" 

Upper Arm: 12" (Started at: 13.5", Last week: 12")

• Loss this week =  0"
• Total loss = 1.5"

Waist: 34.5" (Started at: 42", Last week: 35")

• Loss this week =  0.5"
• Total loss = 7.5"

Hips: 40" (Started at: 42.5", Last week: 40")

• Loss this week = 0"
• Total loss = 2.5"

Thighs: 22.25" (Started at: 25", Last week: 22.25")

• Loss this week = 0"
• Total loss = 2.75"

BMI: 26.6 (Started at 30.4, Last week: 27.2)

• Loss this week = 0.6 points
• Total loss = 3.8 points

How am I progressing at my goals?

1. Goal weight is 135.  I have lost 22.4 of the 44.8 pounds I need to lose.  Exactly halfway done!  :)

 

 

2. Have a BMI below 25.  Lost 3.8 of the 5.4 points I need to lose.  70% done!

3. Have a body fat percentage below 24%.  I started at an estimated 42% and am now down to 33%.  Lost 9% of 18% I need to lose.  50% done!

 4. To be physically fit.   I wish I had been exercising over the past stressful week - it probably would have been a good outlet for my anxiety.  This week, it is my goal to institute an exercise routine and stick to it. 

5. To feel comfortable in my clothes.  This is such a great improvement. 

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: Actually did my devos a couple of times this week.  Not as much as it should be, but much better than it has been!

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 am finally getting back to getting a good amount of rest.  This has helped my mood and my energy tremendously. 

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