First, I shall give you my Fit Test results, both my first day, and now, just two weeks later:
1. Switch Kicks: 23 / 35
2. Power Jacks: 20 / 31
3. Power Knees: 31 / 53
4. Power Jumps: 11 / 17
5. Globe Jumps: 4 / 6
6. Suicide Jumps: 5 / 8 (omg my LEGS!)
7. Push up Jacks: 4 / 12 (!!!)
8. Low Plank Obliques: 11 / 19
Major improvement! Other than my legs feeling like jello by the 5th exercise, I was thrilled at my stamina throughout the fit test this week. I am definitely improving, but not only in my performance!
I weighed in yesterday at the two week mark. I have been trying very hard to make it about more than just a "number game". The scale is important to me, but it isn't my only focus. That said, I'm certainly not unhappy.
In two weeks, I have gone from 212.8 to 208.2, a 4.6 lb loss!
And while the pounds alone might not be melting off (though I suspect that will come) the INCHES are. Measurements:
Left Arm: 18 / 17.25
Right Arm: 19 / 18
Chest: 42 / 40.5
Waist: 41 / 38.75
Post-baby Pooch: 47.5 / 46
Hips: 48 / 46.5
Left Thigh: 29 / 28
Right Thigh: 29 / 28
Left Calf: 17.5 / 16.5
Right Calf: 15 / 16 (A full inch GAIN in previously atrophied muscle!)
Total, in two weeks, I have lost 10.5 inches. Unbelievable. This program WORKS.
Over the next two weeks, my goal is to improve my STAMINA. I would love to be able to get through the entire warm up without having to stop and gasp for oxygen, even in the final set. I am improving, but I am definitely not there yet. I know the warm up is intense, but if I am going to be able to move on to month 2, that is a goal I really want to meet. I am also going to try to tighten up my diet, and cut carbs out more significantly. I have been at my calorie goal every day, but I am admittedly allowing myself too many "cheats" and eating things that are certainly not promoting of weight loss.
These results are definitely enough to get me over the two week slump and keep me PUMPED to keep going. Loving my journey..... and I can't wait to show you pictures at the 30 day mark.
