Day 181 6 month weigh in and results-- down 17.5 pounds!

Well, I've done it, I've past the 6 month marker for a health and weight routine. And I'm very proud to report, I haven't thrown in the towel and given up, like I have in the past. This looks like I have finally got it together, and that this is a lifestyle routine that I can successfully do for the rest of my life! YAY for me!!



This is me when I started Power 90 in 2003. These pictures were taken on my very first day 1. As you can see, I wasn’t very happy with myself. My posture sucked, I looked sad, and I had more in common with a 3 toed sloth or a slug than a human being.



Flash forward to January 2006, and I have come along way, baby!! I now weigh 148 pounds, and look.. I’m not running from the camera!!! Check out the comparison pictures below.




Here are more recent pics below… this is since Aug 1 2005. I can’t believe it’s been 6 months!


And finally… the summary of my January 2006 pictures. I think that I really need to get a better bathing suit bottom (this one is getting to be wrinkly like an elephant). Seeing all these pics together motivates me to keep on trucking, especially when I haven’t had that significant a month for weight or inch loss.

Day 179 Waterlogged Blog...

Wow. I've done 4 bottles of water today.. 4 litres so far. Plus, I had a few Ikea-sized glasses as well. But those don't count, cause it wasn't a Nalgene bottle. I got up at my normal time this morning, even though I didn't have to work until noon today. I did Cardio Party 1 (I wasn't awake when I pushed Play on the DVD and didn't bother to change the DVD when it should have been Turbo Sculpt.) Had a long day at work, and I must have been asked "Heather, do you know if ...." about 80 times if it was once. Sometimes i wonder why I'm cursed with a photographic "work" memory!!! LOL

I woke up around 8 this morning and did Cardio Party 1, and did Ab Jam when I got home from work (mental note: no working out after 9 at night or the endorphins will keep you up all night!!)
