Gun Show....


Guess all the weight lifting (lateral raises in this instance) have been helping...



Saturday is my last day of ChaLEAN Extreme: Push Phase, and I am looking forward to taking my measurements and pictures.. and moving onto Lean Phase.  I can not wait to have an awesome gun show! LOL!

BF% and NSV



Just started Week 3 of Push Phase today (Day 42 of this round of CLX)  which also made it my weigh in day..  I lost only a pound this week, but that was understandable since I ate whatever I wanted this weekend since we spent it in Columbus at the Ohio State Fair.  The awesome part about that, and I think it is because I am in Push Phase, is that I did lose .5% Body Fat.  I won't be taking my measurements again for just under two weeks, but I already feel changes to my body from this Phase.


I had a big NSV this weekend as well:  I replaced my entire wardrobe!! I was able to buy everything out of the woman's department, and it fits great so I am officially out of the plus size section.

So, in 5 1/2 months I replaced:

Shirts: 2X with L
Pants: Size 24 with Size 14
Bras: 40D with 36D (will be in a C by probably Halloween)
Panties: Size 12 with Size 8  (I did wear maybe a size too big in the beginning because of my hysterectomy scar and it bothering me to have panties run against it)

I can not wait to do my winter shopping now!


On a side note: I reactivated my subscription and started using my BodyMedia Fit (Bodybugg) on the 1st to help really get my weight loss moving fast again. It is really interesting to see my burn and how active or not active that I am during the day.  Now, I just need to sell my Fitbit.

Another Progress Picture...



This is the progress that I have made in 5.5 months time...

The jeans are a size 24.. I had to go out and buy them on Valentine's Day because my size 22's were way too tight. That was the extra push that I needed and the next day I started my weight loss journey. I did only wear these for about 10-12 days before I 
was able to go back in my size 22's.

As of today, Aug 1, I can fit into my size 14 jeans, but since it is still too hot to wear those all the time right now, and I am just going to continue wearing my size 16's so I don't have to by new shorts. No point in buying a pair of new ones right before fall when they will be way too big next year. 



I can not wait to see what the next 5/6 months bring......
