What a wonderful day! Today was the day that I found out from Meg at work (Nashua Eye Associates) that I WON THE WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE!!! So in 2 months/ 8 weeks I lost 7 lbs, from 140.5 lbs to 133 lbs which is 7.5 lbs lost total! Love it
Plus I did a good thing tonight. It was just before midnight and I wanted to have some hot chocolate and then decided no!

Measurements from Saturday November 16 2013 with Gail (personal trainer)
Here are my measurements when Gail did them on Saturday November 16 2013
I told her that my weight was 132 lbs and she put down my age as 42 even though I am really 41...I will be 42 in one month
CHEST: 33"
RIGHT ARM/BICEP: 10"
WAIST: 28"
HIPS: 43"
RIGHT THIGH: 23.5"
WAIST TO HIP RATIO: .65 (LOWER THAN .75 IS GOOD)
BLOOD PRESSURE:
104/69 (want to be no higher than 120/80) so that is good
BODY COMPOSITION
Body Fat: 25.5 % (25.6% is considered "good") so this tells me that the weight watchers scale that I bought is accurate.
RESTING HEART RATE
RHR: 49 (this low number means youhave a heart that is exercised, most are in the 70s I think is what she said)
MY OTHER STATS:
SEX: FEMALE
CURRENT WEIGHT: 132 LBS
HEIGHT 64 INCHES (TOLD HER I WAS 5'3 AND 3/4 AND SHE ROUNDED UP TO 5'4)
EXERCISE FREQUENCY: 4 OF 5
EXERCISE INTENSITY: 3 OF 5
EXERCISE TIME: 4 OF 4
BODY FAT: 25.5%
FAT WEIGHT: 34 LBS
LEAN (FAT-FREE) WEIGHT: 98 LBS
TOTAL BODY WATER: 33.85 LITERS OR 56.4%
SO ALL THIS INFO TELLS ME THAT THE INFO ON THE WEIGH WATCHERS SCALE THAT I USE IS PRETTY ACCURATE. SO THAT IS PRETTY GOOD RIGHT?
ANOTHER THING...HERE IS WHAT I WAS WEARING WHEN SHE DID THE MEASUREMENTS:
MY PINK/BLACK YOGA PANTS, PINK/WHITE STRIPED SPORTS BRA, SLIGHT BLUE SHORT SLEEVED SHIRT AND THEN SOCKS AND BLACK SNEAKERS. I THINK I ONLY HAD THE SNEAKERS ON FOR THE EXERCISES OR SO..BUT NOT FOR THE STEP UPS ON THE WOODEN CHAIR/STEP
BUT THE WEIGHT I GAVE HER WAS WHEN I WEIGHED MYSELF THAT MORNING AT 131.6 ON NEW SCALE. I JUST ROUNDED UP.

GOALS for today and this week...
GOALS:
My goals for this week November 17 throughout November 23 2013
Now remember November 23 2012 I weighed 150 lbs. So I am hoping that on November 23 2013 I will weigh in at 130 lbs maybe. But even if I am still 132 lbs (old scale) then it will be fine. That is still 18 pounds down!
Goals:
Eat 2 servings for fruits a day.
Don't eat after 7pm at night.
Change up cardio workout: try bike at gym and also do the arc climber and also maybe I can try the elliptical if I feel motivated.
I want to get down to 125 pounds to 128 pounds before I start any weight training/ strength training. As I know that I will probably gain a pound or two from it and I would rather go up from those two weights than up for where I am or even 130 lbs. I would like to be toned and trim at 130lbs or even 132 lbs but not 135 lbs or higher.
I think once I get down to 128 or 125 lbs and I am there for a month or so then I think that I will feel comfortable working on strength training you know.

On Friday November 15 2013
I went to my mom's to pick up some size 10 jeans and brought them home and they fit! I had bought a pair of size 10 skinny jeans a week or two ago and they fit really good. I actually fit in size 9 of another pair of jeans but they fit and I could get them on but they were a little tight.
it is such a great feeling when you can fit into jeans.
the size 10 jeans that I got from my mom's... Those jeans I hadn't been able to fit into them since 8 or so years ago. I remember at some point that I couldn't get them past my thighs and now I can wear them! They are tight but it is not about wearing them in public it is all about me and how I feel.
What an amazing feeling!

I met with the personal trainer, Gail M. today.
She did my assessment and measurements today. Saturday November 16 2013
I weighed in this morning
131.6 lbs// 131.6 lbs
6:45am
body fat: 26.1// 25.5
water: 54.1// 54.5
BMI: 22.4//22.4
old scale: 131 lbs 5x
Measurements with Gail
Chest: 33 inches
Right Arm (bicep): 10 inches (only does one arm)
Waist: 28 inches
Hips: 43 inches
Right Thigh: 23.5 inches (upper thigh, highest it can go is where she did it)
Waist to Hip Ratio: .65 (lower than .75 is average for my age group)
Blood Pressure: 104/69
Body Fat: 25.5 %
Total Body Water: 56.4% (33.85 liters)
Resting Heart Rate (RHR): 49
Fat Weight: 34 lbs
Lean (fat-free) weight: 98 lbs
It was a very good day! Can you believe that I am down about 18 lbs..yahoo!
I told Gail that I will go to to gym on sunday and talk to trainer there to have them show me the machines so that I can use them when I go there. another thing, I also told Gail that I will start doing strength training. but I will gain some pounds when I do that as I read that in an article.
So, what I am thinking is this...that I will maybe keep doing what I have been doing as it seems to be working for me and I am thinking that I will wait until I can get down to 125 lbs if I can or even 128 lbs or something similar to that.
I read an ariticle that Gail gave me about how this woman incorporated strength training and weights into her workout, but her clothes fit but the scale went up a few pounds.
AND Gail did tell me that she wished that I didn't weigh myself everyday. I told her why I did it but she wants me to feel the weightloss difference with my clothes and not the scale because once you do the weights and strength training then you will be dropping inches and it will be a bigger change.
I mean I do plan on upping my cardio intensity. Gail suggested that I use the bike at the gym and recumbent bike if they have one. And arc climber still and I might try elipitical if it works for me. also, suggested intervals. (go fast, go slow, go fast, go slow, etc)
Want to eat more fruits and veggies. If I could eat 2 fruits a day and try to eat more veggies too.
I think I will take baby steps you know.
I want to go to the gym and try the bike and or arc climber and
when stretching hold the stretch for 20 seconds.
