End of February Results and Menu for the Week


Ok so about a month ago these were my calcs:
Body Calcs- 
Weight: 148 lbs DOWN 2 lbs, GOAL: 5 lbs less 
Waist: 29" SAME, GOAL: 1" less
Hips: 36.5" SAME, GOAL: 1.5" less
Butt: 41" SAME, GOAL: 1" less
Thigh: 24" SAME, GOAL: 1" less
Arm 12" SAME

In my previous post (if you dared to read the novel), I talked about how my Sjogren's inflammation I get periodically throws off my progress until I can get things to settle back down.  Lately the scale has been running between 150 and 147.  I guess I'll just post what the lowest number I've seen during the week because A) it makes me feel better B) it's my page and I can do what I want and C) It's probably most accurate (day with least inflammation floating about).
SO- here we are!!


Body Calcs- 
Weight: 147 lbs DOWN 1 lbs, GOAL: 4 lbs less 
Waist: 29" SAME, GOAL: 1" less
Hips: 36" DOWN 0.5", GOAL: 1" less
Butt: 41" SAME, GOAL: 1" less
Thigh: 23.5" DOWN 0.5", GOAL: 0.5" less
Arm 12" SAME

So even though I only lost a pound per the scale, it worked out to be a pound of fat I'd say because I lost inches.  So glad I measure myself!  I also notice when I get a good workout week in my scale doesn't move or it goes up a bit.  But that's because muscle weighs more so I don't mind the scale going up as long as the inches are also coming down.  Pounds aren't everything!

My next mini-goal is still getting a great-fitting swimsuit or two! for Spring.  Think I'll go another month (or until sinus surgery) and see where I end up.  The bits covered up by a suit shouldn't change too much over the summer; I'd expect everything to just get more toned and trim really.  Hating I have to have sinus surgery again because I think they bench you from working out for like 3 weeks or something.  Have to win the fight in the kitchen I guess and do some isometric stuff- another set back!!  But hopefully, in the end, this will keep me well longer so I can hit it hard for weeks at a time instead of just days at a time.

MENU! (Liam has surgery this Wed, tubes in and adenoids out because he's been sick too long too, so Mommy needed easy meals that made for quick leftovers too)
Monday- Meatloaf Muffins with green beans (love muffin size because  they're so portable!)
Tuesday- Roasted Lamb over carrots and sweet potatoes
Wednesday- Leftovers!
Thursday- Honey Sesame Crockpot Chicken over riced cauliflower and broccoli
Friday- Leftovers
Saturday- Dinner out (probably Moe's BBQ) if Liam's up for it
Sunday- Meat Quiche (Quiche but with sausage crust instead!)

Will post the new recipes in the Recipes page.  :)

Workout Plan:
Monday- Pilates
Tuesday- Tone to Stone (weight lifting)
Wednesday- Liam's surgery, but I hope to make an evening Fit Body Boot Camp!
Thursday- Homebound with Liam, but luckily my Boot Camp peeps send at-home workouts, hoping to squeeze that in
Friday- Probably still homebound with Liam, might rest that day
Saturday- Hopefully Boot Camp if hubs can hold down the fort, I've missed some weeks!
Sunday- REST

I hate I'm missing my Power Yoga class Thurs because I went back after skipping it for many months and I forgot how GREAT it makes my strained hip flexors and extensors feel! Catch it next week I guess!
