Weigh In

After my purchase yesterday, I hope to have more accurate measurements from now on. Let's just assume that all my previous weigh ins were accurate (even though I didn't take them at the same time of the day, nor did I consistently do it before or after a meal. They were just very random).

So here's today's weigh in at 8:30 am, about an hour after waking up, but before eating or drinking anything.

153.4 lbs
28.1 BMI
41.3% body fat

Sigh. I know that I mentioned in this post that I had a depressing previous measure. I didn't record that measurement. I wrote it down somewhere, but I gained about 1.5 lbs back. Huh? I thought maybe it was just because I did it in the evening, after a full day's worth of eating. But nope, this confirms that I did gain my weight back.

The only thing I'm kicking myself in the butt for is not doing any measurements. After a previous let down with Slim In 6, I didn't loose any inches. I followed the diet, did the workouts for 6 weeks, and I didn't notice any changes. The only thing I did was take measurements last time, not weight. But there were no visible results. So, I was really hesitant to start this program as well. But I'm happy I did, because even though I may not see that many changes on the scale, I do notice visual changes...which are more important to me than seeing the lbs drop. Although they do go hand in hand.

So here's to 9 more days of level 3. Then I plan to re-shred for another month. I think I might do it in this order: 10 days of level 1, 10 days of level 3, and end with 10 days of level 2 for a nice strong finish. If I'm up to it, I might mix it up and do two back to back levels every other day just to add in that extra boost. We shall see.

Day 21 (Day 1 of level 3)

Yay! I made it through to level 3! Yesterday was the first day that I didn't do the shred. But not bad considering I did it for 20 days straight. I'm proud of myself.

Level 3 looks horribly hard, but is surprisingly easier, but in a different way. As I've read on Kristen's blog that level 2 is definitely a WTF level. I wasn't as sweaty as the level 2, but it's more difficult in a sense that there isn't so much cardio in a fast "OMG-my-heart-is-going-to-explode" type cardio. But it was good. I was || this close to doing a back to back workout, but realized I wasn't ready for that. Maybe after 10 days of this. I better take pictures before I forget since this marks the completion of 20 days and starting my last 10 days. I can't believe it. This feels nice that I'm almost there.

I'm currently on hold with Bed Bath & Beyond. I want to purchase this scale:

Yay! They do have it! We got a gift card from the wedding that I'd like to exchange for this and hopefully they accept my expired coupon. I've read at several places that they do take expired coupons. This has to be way better than using my Wii Fit.

Off to shower and purchase my new toy.
