Weigh Day: Melting the Fat

This past week has been a tough one.  My five children all came down with the Chicken Pox at the same time, including our 9 month old baby. 

To say that it was hard to get through the workouts each day would be an understatement.  It was close to impossible!  I would do five minutes here, five minutes there...whatever I could fit in between the chaos.  There was one day when all I could do was a 15 minute ab workout (which took me an hour and 13 minutes to finish).  I didn't get a shower that day and all we ate the whole day was cereal, canned soup and Shakeology.

But I kept at it.  I made it a priority to continue my goal of not missing a day. 

So I can tell you that I'm particularly proud of my progress this past week considering the kind of week I had.  Because I lost another 1.5 lbs!  And since the last time I measured myself, I've gained 1/2 inch on both thighs (a good thing because I gained muscle mass in my chicken legs!) and lost 1/2 inch in my arms and an inch off my waist, an inch off my hips and 1/2 inch off my chest!

*Insert a little celebratory dance here*

It seems like I've broken through my plateau and the fat is just melting off now!  I even put on a MEDIUM size shirt today and it wasn't too tight!  Here is a picture of me after my shower (excuse the mess, we still haven't finished unpacking and getting settled!)  I'm so happy.  Like I was telling my mom over the phone yesterday, I can't stop now!  I've worked so hard and it seems like my goal is finally in sight.

23 pounds lost and 12 more to go to reach my goal of 135.  I can do it!
