Weigh Day: Week 9

Hello from Georgia, the land of peaches, pecans and Coca-Cola. The home of the Braves, the Centennial Olympic Games and...pollen.

We lucked out to arrive in Atlanta during the height of pollen season. Pollen counts are hitting record highs close to the 10,000's. Insane! And I can tell you, every one of those different flowering plant spores are trying to wedge their way up my nose to try and push my eyes halfway out my ears.

Or at least it FEELS like that.

And even though I don't have terrible allergies compared to some, I still have noticed an increased difficulty in breathing. Especially when I work out.

Painful wheezing, really.

Anyhow, enough of that. Time to report in for the week!

My Progress:

This past week was Week 9. I started the Slim in 6 program and was amazed to find that the first DVD was actually a little EASY for me. At least compared to the type of workout I am used to. So I moved on to the second video already. It doesn't have the cardio of Rockin' Body and Hip Hop Abs as it is focused mainly on strength training. But I really feel like I'm burning away the inches. Especially since those around me have been remarking that the same jeans I couldn't even pull up over my hips at Christmas are now too baggy and falling down my hips as I walk around!

This week I actually GAINED 1/2 pound again. But I ended up losing 1/2 inch on my waist, 1/2 inch on my chest and another 1/2 inch off each leg! That's a total of 2 inches off my body in a week! So I'm excited about that!

I'll keep you updated on my progress as I continue the Slim in 6 program. I am hoping the program keeps its word and helps me slim down in 6 weeks! That's my goal!
