January 2012 Weigh Day, Stats, Progress Pics!

Here we go again! It's that time of the month! Weigh in, stats AND progress pics! I wish I could say that I didn't gain over the holiday's...well I can't and I did lol! I'm up 1.2 pounds since December 1, 2011. The only reason why this number isn't higher is because I worked out 4 times last week. When I tell you I ate like a complete ass on Christmas and New Year day...I'm dead damn serious! But you best believe I enjoyed every single second of it! Time well spent with my family :-)...

Stats:

Bust: 34 1/2

Chest: 31 1/2

Waist: 30

Hips: 43 1/2

Thighs: (R) 24, (L) 23 3/4

I don't remember the last time I posted my stats so this will be a clean slate! I'm looking forward to my strength training removing inches!

I also wrote in a previous post that I would only post progress pics quarterly, well I've changed my mind! In order for me to keep myself accountable I will be posting full body progress pics at the start of each month...here they are! 

On New Year Day!

Well that's all as far as progress goes! I've got a HUGE anniversary coming up!!! 1 year at 100+ pounds down! I've decided to get a tattoo to represent this major accomplishment, just not sure what it will be?? Your ideas are welcomed! I'm also thinking about doing a fun vlog...not going to give details just yet but it will be comedy!

2011 In Review Vlog!!

So after too much time and frustration, I think I've finally figured out a way to do quick and easy vlogs on the iPad with the Reel Director app!! I've been trying to figure this out for the last week and a half...smdh! That being said you'll see way more vlogs from me in 2012! Yay!! I'll try to keep them short so editing can be kept to a minimum.

I also switched blogging platform apps on my iPad again. Currently I am using the Blogsy app which I absolutely LOVE! It's not cheap @ $4.99 but you really do get what you pay for! The Be Write HD app for the iPad is garbage! It's not user friendly at all! Waste of $$$ but oh well, onward I go! 

I'll do a vlog review on my Polar FT 40 heart rate monitor this week :-)...all smiles about that! 

Hopefully with practice I'll get better at recording myself, please be patient with me lol!

***I thought about something I said in my vlog, my honey and I did see each other 6 times in 2011***** #importantfact 

SO much love..I can hardly stand it!

Yesterday, my before and after pictures were featured on the Black Women "DO" Workout fan page on Facebook! This is a fabulous, supportive group of women pushing each other to reach fitness and healthy lifestyle goals.

The creator of the page..trainer Crystal Adell told me I'd receive a lot of responses but I had no idea!! My phone was buzzing all day long with friend requests and message notifications! I am feeling ALL of the love and sisterhood is definitely alive and kicking!



The photo on the page- how I look now & November 2009

The top two questions were, "how did you do it?" The second was "how long did it take?" I tried my best to answer as many folks as I could, but asked each one of them to visit my blog to read about my journey.

I plan to do a vlog this weekend addressing both of those questions (again) in more depth. I have to organize my thoughts on paper first lol!

Anyhoo, here's a couple items off of my menu this week.

Tuesday's dinner...


Honey mustard chicken breast, sautéed then simmered yams and garlic asparagus

Wednesday's dinner...



Cucumber salad w/ light feta, bacon bits, scallions, balsamic vinegar & red pepper flakes

I also had sweet potato fries along with the cucumber salad. I woke up this morning feeling amazing!!!

My life is an open book! Lovin' this!!!!
