Body for Life Challenge Week 9

I'm down another pound this week, but I'm really showing some improvement
in the abdominal area. My waist measurement has come down 1.5 inches in
the past 9 weeks! I even saw a hint of that weird genetic abnormality
Jayjay has, i.e., my body going concave right below the ribs. I also
started wearing the size 16 jeans this week and wore some size 14 pants
last week-end (but could neither breath nor sit down so I suppose that
doesn't count.)

I only worked out 4 times this week, not just because (as Sarah Jane
says) I'm pathetically lazy, but because I got a double whammy of
humongous DOMS after giving blood and my period starting and all I wanted
to do was stay in bed Sunday and Monday. So I did. But Jayjay's 8:40
post was inspiring and I found myself pushing for the clock on the
treadmill today. I'm sad that my sustainable pace is only 12 min/mile,
but then I recall how recently I wasn't running at all on the treadmill!

The other thing that was new this week was I went back to logging on
fitday. I was surprised to find out that even my biggest days were only
at 1700 calories. I thought I was eating more than that.

Oh, and I'm now below the weight I was when I got pregnant with my
second child. Two down, one to go.

Congrats on another pound gone. Of course getting into those size 14's
counts. Who says you need to breathe or sit down. The 1.5 off the waist
is fantastic. This is my problem area and I would love to see those
numbers for myself.
