My Healthy Journey for Better Living

Let me start of by saying that this week was only productive at the beginning, not to divulge too much information, but my "lady friend" came to visit and lets just say exercising was NOWHERE on my mind from Thursday on. I did TRY to stick to my food regimen, and except for a few indulgent times, I did. However, I will not balk at my results for the week as I am happy for them. I am down a total of 4.2 pounds, from 226 to 221.8. That in of itself is a huge success because I carry A LOT of water at this time, so I'd say the Apple Cider Vinegar is doing its trick, even though today is only the second day I have used it. (*****CAUTION***** If you do use the ACV, make sure you are ALWAYS near a restroom, it makes ya pee A LOT!)

Measurements: Start/today's

Weight 226/221.8

Waist 42.25/40

Hip 44.75/44.25

Thigh 25/25

Bust 42/40 (why do women always lose the most in our boobs? That is where we WANT to keep it!)

Bicep 15/14.25

Forearm 12/11.5

Neck 15.25/14.8

Drum roll please...... the total lost is 4.2 pounds and a total of 6.45 inches. These might not seem like huge strides to anyone, but for me the fact that I am making ANY strides is pretty damn impressive to me! Especially since I was told 10 years ago at the age of 30, I'd be lucky if I wasn't in a wheel chair by 35. Well, here I am at 40, 4 months away from 41, proving those doctors wrong about my fate. It takes everything I have inside of me to do the exercises and to not get discouraged, but damn it I AM DOING IT, and no one can take that away from me!
