The progress made last week was small, but still progress. This month I have put my life against a 12 month clock. Not only am I working on improving my health, I am working on improving my finances. This is the year of the sexy summer bod and the house as a Christmas present.
Last week at weigh in, I was slightly over 153 lbs. I stood on the scale this morning and I am now 151.7. I'll take! My target for this challenge is 147. 3lbs. My personal goal by the end of the year, however, is 135-140 lbs w/ my body fat in the range of 18-23%. I need my stomach to be flat. I do not care if I have a six pac or not. I just want the pouch and love bars gone! Who the hell decided to call them love handles? Better to grab on to while hittin it from the back? NOPE! I hate them!
I did not exercise at all last week. I followed my meal plan. I took the stairs at work instead of the elevator. I took the long way to get to most things. I even gave up parking in the usual handicap spot and parked at the end of the parking lot to get a little walk in despite the cold, the wind, and the rain... Ugh Houston weather!
