Oh yeah, Exercises

I used to be on EDiets for a trial subscription and I saved a bunch of the exercises they recommend and made a webpage out of it for my own reference. If you are interested in exercises that target lower back, inner thigh, outer thigh, hips, buns, etc you can visit this page for descriptions and an animated gif showing how to do them. http://www.lot3.net/skye/exercise/index2.htm

Update on Me

Okay, so I don't post much anymore. Sorry!!

Here is where I am at:

Weight: 129.6
Thighs: 22" each -- lost 1" each
Waist (natural): 28" -- lost 2" (below belly button which is across my hip bone is 34 1/4" and I'm not sure what that started at but I remember Lisa measuring her waist at this point.)
Hips: 37 3/4" -- lost 2 1/4"

So that is where I am, just thought I'd update you girls. I haven't been posting a food journal because it really isn't very good. I'd like to modify my eating back to what I was doing in Jan/Feb but when Sam is home it is harder to eat good because he always gets these late night snacks and I give in!

ETA: I went to Old Navy with Katie today (I can't stay away from that place!) and I bought two pair of Capris..or Bermuda shorts I guess, in a size 8. That was cool! Sam keeps complaining that the jeans I bought last month are too baggy on me. :(

I thought this was neat. I really want the Yourself! fitness "game" but we do not have an XBox or PS2 and the one for the PC is not as customizable and interactive as the one for the game consoles. :( Oh well, I'm sure Sam will want to get an Xbox soon enough. :)

just talking

Well, I've reached my goal of 130-135 (currently at 133) so I am going to start something new on Monday. I hear there is this thing called "Exercise" LOL! :)

I am going to weigh myself once a week (on Mondays) and also measure my waist, hips and thighs at the same time. Then I will rotate doing the Hit the Spot Thighs, Abs and Buns videos during the week and see what kind of results I get. I'm going to continue watching what I eat and will post a food journal as well but will be more focused on my exercise and taking off INCHES than watching my food intake and dropping pounds. I'm not going to be too concerned with my weight unless I am not losing inches....

About a month ago, my measurements were:
Waist 30"
Hips 40"
Thighs 23 " around each thigh

I'll measure again on Monday to be sure that these are correct measurements.

My goal is to keep my waist about the same... though I wouldn't mind it going smaller! :)
I'd like my hips to go down to about a 34-36 and each thigh to be 20 or 21"

Just thought I'd fill you girls in on my new goals.

Oh, and if you are wondering where I came up with these numbers, I just went to Landsend.com and signed up for a virtual model and then put in measurements that gave me the size I wanted to be (around a 6-8) Right now it says I am a 10, but I know I still need a 12 in some jeans so that is why I went to such a low size on their charts.
