What a wonderful feeling....

I have a good excuse for not blogging as much this week. I finally took my Radiography registry yesterday. Well of course I passed, who do you think you're talking to? Anyway, I was studying all week. It was worth it, though! I am now an official RT(R)! Now I can focus 100% on my life and my health! I am so excited! Anyway, I am still eating well and working out. I am starting to see real definition in my muscles. Who knew I even had muscles?! My gut is shrinking away and I can actually locate my hip bones while standing up. Haven't done that in....well...ever, really. My hubby has taken notice too. It encourages me to keep going when he comments on my figure. I mean, he has always loved me no matter what. It just makes a girl feel like a million bucks when her man is pleased with her figure. I love attention. I am a Libra, after all. I crave healthy food now. I tried to eat pizza the other day. I managed to consume 2 small slices, then I felt yucky. I remained yucky all day, and bloated. I used to be able to down entire pizzas. No lie. Gross, embarrassing, but true. Now I can barely stomach 2 slices. I am in love with salads and fruit. I like eating and not feeling bloated. Who would have thought I could fall out of love with pizza? *shocked* Well, I feel great and I need a shower. Just finished a workout. I feel like my life is on an upswing. Finally. I'm really happy about that. Until tomorrow....

The incredible shrinking woman.....

Today is measurement day! I got up first thing and grabbed my tape. I am pleased with what I saw.

My measurements for today.

I am still losing inches, and I feel so much stronger. This is kind of awesome. I know I have a lot more to say, but right now I can't think. Perhaps I will come back and edit this later. Toodles.

*EDIT* Ok, so after my workout I felt like blabbing just a bit longer. I did the Turbo Jam Ab Jam for the first time today, so tomorrow I will be pretty much immobile in my waist. I look forward to it. I have started mixing up my Turbo Jam routines, because quite frankly, doing the Cardio Party everyday was killing me. It is such a vigorous workout that my body couldn't heal enough to do it properly each day. So, now I do it every other day. I feel better that way. In between those days I do the Learn and Burn, or the 20 minute Jam, and everyday I plan to do the Ab Jam. I think I have finally found my groove. Also, my hubby is seeing my progress and is starting to come around to this whole eating healthy thing. Bonus! Ok, now I am truly done for the day. I am off to my trusty shower! Until tomorrow....

Still kicking.....

I didn't blog for a few days because my work schedule changed and I was too busy. I did, however, workout and eat right. Well, ok, I missed my workout on Friday because I overslept and couldn't fit it in before work. Other than that, I was a good girl. I am starting to notice a change in my shape. I can actually feel my hip bones again. I can't wait until tomorrow when I remeasure. I am certain I have lost some inches! I am doing better at my Turbo Jam workout. My next goal is to increase my endurance yet again, and to add the 18 minute ab workout to my 45 minute cardio workout. I just want to keep building. I started with 15 minutes a day, then 30, now 45. I am very proud of how far I have come in just a few weeks. Anyway...I had a lot to blab about when I started typing, but now I am drawing a blank. Also, I desperately need a shower. I fear Green Peace will bust down my door any second and issue me a citation for air pollution or some shit like that. I stink, but dammit I earned it! LOL. I am going to go wash. Until next time....
