Good for you Roni!
I have also started a workout program. I’m not doing so well in the “eating” department so am testing out some classes at the local gym(s) to see what I like. So far my favorites are the Turbo Kick! and Body Pump. I loved the Turbo Kick instructor I had last night – she was very encouraging for someone like me who is/was the oldest and largest in the class. But, I’m not going to let that discourage me. It was a real kick ass workout!

Great job on the running. That's an awesome improvement! Funny thing about the measurements. I actually measured myself recently and had actually GAINED half an inch around tummy (after losing almost 10 lbs). It must be that I was a little inaccurate in measuring (although it's hard for me to imagine that I was actually that far off - I must have been subconsciously sucking in when I measured the first time.) It's hard to be perfectly accurate. However, I'd take the quarter inch loss! And great job on the push-ups! Check out Janes last blog post..Survived Thursday

Hey, you kicked butt on your running! Good for you!

Hey, here’s a reader question for you — how many points in a scorpion? ;-) I was served one at dinner tonight! I have a pic on my blog I’m posting Friday morning US/Canada time zones. Eek! hahaha

I think your stats are great!!! And thinking even from last year to this year….it’s amazing!!! I know it is hard working from home. The hardest thing for me (since I do three separate jobs from home) plus just all the home stuff was finding a schedule that would work. It helped after four years now I have a great one lol!! But now the thing that annoys me is that people say “oh, I bet it’s so easy working from home” I think it is good if you can, but honestly I think it is more difficult.

Wow, Ronnie = love the run stat! You are doing great - at this point you are maintaining, and I think that's just as hard as losing the initial weight! Give yourself a big pat on the back - you deserve it! Check out Biz319s last blog post..Delish lunch, messy dinner

Natalia Burleson – I only said the same because it was a different person measuring me. Honestly, I don’t “trust” the measurements because they were so close. But you’re right. I should own that! :~)

I measure at home so I know it's accurate. Hopefully you can have the same person each time now. I think keeping tabs on progress is great motivation. I would love to have your hips someday!!! Mine are 45 in but they started at 58 6 months ago! Check out Annettes last blog post..A Cup of Love

don't be surprised if your thigh and arm measurements go UP - sometimes they are leaner and more muscle-y, but the number actually goes UP. Check out vickies last blog post..The elephant jacket
