Tiffany's Progress Tracking

Thanks Cari!!!
Friday was good, but I was sooooo tired...5 hour timed exam for .net programming at 6:30am, I completed it and I think it did well (won't have results for a few weeks) but it was sooo stressful, and a Friday morning no less, what is wrong with people that they would even schedule it on a FRIDAY...don't they know Friday is supposed to be FUN!!!!
Walked on my breaks, did some strength training at home...stayed away from the wine, but I did eat all my exercise calories and a few extra, but I should still we way under for the week, I'll have to do the math tomorrow for Hogwarts anyway, so today I'll just try to keep the eating under control!
Finally did measurements and photos today...I have photos from last July...not huge drastic differences, but I can definitely see that some of the fluff around my bra strap and love handles has shrunk down...I'll have to see if I can get some before/after compiled and posted here...0 -

photos on the left are July 2 2016 - photos on the right are today...swim bottoms are exactly the same...swim top went from a 32F down to a 30F...148.8 lbs to 145.2...body fat from 28.2% - 26% but that's based on a handheld device that may or may not be accurate, however, it does seem to be consistent and the photos do seem to indicate loss of fat
I love the side picture, it seems the more dramatic to me...plus, the belly is always what I am struggling to reduce the most since that is the area I seem to gain it the fastest...aren't my stretch marks and wrinkles lovely - ah, the joys of life!!!0 -
Amazing progress Tiffany. You can see all the hard work paying off.0

Saturday was great but a bit exhausting - couple hours walking, weights, and some yoga, but then had to pick up the boy after his track meet and the bus didn't get there until 1:05AM...ugh
Sunday was supposed to be relaxing but ended up being a lot of errand running and I did squeeze in some combat that I needed for Hogwarts even though I didn't really much feel like working out.
Today is rainy and gross out plus I'm going to be on my own for a few days which will be a challenge with the kids schedules...on the plus side, I see the chiro today, which is super great since my shoulder is bothering me...0 -
Great progress made in a relatively short period of time. I agree the side view really shows the change. The changes in your lower thighs (above the knee), your *kitten* and your love handles looks great!
Keep up all of the hard work because clearly it's paying off!0 -
Awww, thanks! I'm back up another pound today, so it's nice to have some encouragement.
Monday went according to plan...abs in the morning, walking at lunch/break, chiro appt, did some stretching while watching TV (flex hours are big for GoT this week), and did weights after Lucifer...showered and went to bed...probably could have used more sleep, but that's kind of a perpetual issue!!!
I was super hungry all day, but managed to keep the calories under control...shark week is coming up next week, so this week is going to be all PMS crankiness and appetite...<sigh>...some day this stupid hormone roller coaster will end!
For Hogwarts this week I am giving up chocolate entirely (to be fair, it has been getting out of hand lately) and I'm limiting my dairy to 1 serving/day. FUN TIMES!!!0 -
Tuesday - busy day, exercise was spot on - combat, walking, stretching, this is a rest day for me...food was close to spot on and actually quite good for PMS week...didn't have much time to sit around just too busy with life.
My son hit a new best in his 800m time at the track meet 2:09...I don't think I could run half a mile in 2 min. even if my life depended on it, he is truly amazing.0 -
Sounds like an all around good day! Congratulations to your son, that's impressive!0

Wednesday - exercise was good, walking, and pilates/yoga class which turned out to be more PILATES/BARRE/yoga - mostly strength stuff and not a lot of stretching...I like it more when it's a balanced class. Food was totally on point, I had a bit of a sweets craving in the afternoon but I'm doing no chocolate this week for Hogwarts, so I had a soy latte instead which really hit the spot...I was sooooo hungry after working out, and I had a huge batch of eggs with some fried potatoes and salsa and a touch of cheese - really hit the spot...showered and went to bed on time for a change...
This morning I was the same weight as yesterday - can't remember the last time my weight wasn't bouncing all over the place...but PMS arrived in full force so I look like I had breast augmentation overnight...<sigh>...they are kind of pretty at least...0 -
Thursday - great on exercise, good on food, overall an awesome but super busy day!
Same weight again today - how is that even possible?!?!?! Three days in a row of stable weight!!!! <gasp> I could get used to this!!!
I'm tired of limiting calories...I could totally eat more just about every day...I have a diet break scheduled for the end of February and I'm sticking to my deficit calories until then, but I am SOOO looking forward to eating at maintenance for two weeks!!! 3 weeks until more food!!!0 -
Friday - awesome on food and exercise
Saturday - not much formal exercise, just enough to wrap up GoT and meet all the goals, but spent a good part of the day moving furniture, so plenty of activity, and not a lot of time to eat, so food was low but one low day is nothing to fret about, plus, started watching Alphas with my latest crush Ryan Cartwright...he's so sweet...<sigh>
Sunday - lots of exercise, mostly wrapping up Hogwarts work, maxed out my points in the quidditch match, eating was right on target, it's been a great weekend0 -
Sounds like an all around great weekend! Not a bad way to round out January.0
-
Monday - shark week begins...overslept...walked at lunch/break...did ab ripper while dinner cooked (breakfast casserole, yum)...did weights after lucifer...had to skip curls and tris because my right elbow was hurting, likely from moving furniture saturday - with any luck it will recover before thursday when it's time for the next set of weights...did do balancing on the board instead, so the time was not wasted...food was on point, no worries there.0
-
Tuesday was ok, not great, walked at lunch, missed a break because I got stuck on a conference call, but I bailed on the call to leave on time and get shopping done...didn't do yoga in the evening as planned, had a headache, just went to bed early. Food was good, didn't have anything for dinner except miso soup which was mediocre.
Still have a headache this morning, and a very busy day at work planned...it will be ok.0 -
I had miso soup yesterday too! It was also mediocre. It was Annie Chun's brand I believe. I won't be buying it again.
I hope your headache gets better!0 -
Wednesday - didn't workout in the morning, still had a headache all day long...did walk at lunch/breaks, and did go to pilates/yoga/barre class in the evening...was going to do more yoga after I got home, but skipped it since my head hurt even worse by that point...
and today I have a headache again...this nonsense has got to stop...think I'll cut down the dairy and see if that helps0 -
My wife had constant headaches and ended up getting a little bit of botox somewhere on her forehead. She literally went from a bad headache every other day or so, to not a single one for many months. Might be something worth looking into?0
-
Yeah, I don't anticipate that happening...I'm an herbalist and as a general rule don't even take chemical medications, I don't think I'm letting anyone inject me with anything. I did cut the dairy way down and while I did wake up with a headache it was way more mild than the last few days. I'll just keep to the limited dairy and see how that does - the headaches only started this week and I've been hitting the cheese obscenely hard this week, so that's probably the root cause.
Thursday was good - lots and lots of walking, did some yoga, and did weights - it's February so I'm up to 3x/week on the weights...I could definitely feel it in the sides of my back (under my love handles) last night, but no complaining from the muscle I pulled in December...so far so good. Oh, and I had to go way light on curls and tri kickbacks because my elbow is still hurting from moving furniture last weekend, but I was able to do the weights at least, just at a light level.0 -
Friday was good - lots of walking, food was probably over, lots of hard cider and chips
Saturday was great - lots of activity helping a friend shop for a used vehicle, she ended up with a truck, then visiting with a friend and cooking dinner for her and her family, followed by some stretching and stuff.
Sunday was good - got on the treadmill for a while, then went to my parents for the superbowl...the plague started to hit around 7pm, I just was soooo tired...then I couldn't sleep most of the night as I was up and down not able to breath and nose running...ugh...
Monday was the black death - I did finally manage to get a few hours of sleep late in the morning...walked around lunch time, which made me tired so I napped...stretched before dinner, then napped again after dinner, then did weights in the evening which was exhausting but at least I was able to sleep like a champ!0 -
Tuesday - still have the plague...was supposed to go to happy hour but skipped because I was soooo tired...a little nap on the couch helped...managed to fit in walking, yoga, and extra walking on the treadmill while Bones was on...then lots of sleep...food is too low, but seriously I have no appetite so I'm not going to fret about it until I'm healthy...0
-
Wednesday - plague is getting better, not as congested, not as super tired, but still very fatigued...walked at lunch/breaks...walked on the treadmill and stretched during Lethal Weapon...skipped my ab workout, really should have sucked it up and done that one...then went to bed early...food was on point at least!!!0
-
Thursday - super tired all day...still got in plenty of walking, weights, some darebee stuff for GoT and a plank challenge for Hogwarts - held a plank for 90 seconds, and in the end it was my shoulder that gave out, not my abs, I think I could have made it to 2 min with the abs, but I woke up with a sharp pain in my shoulder and it was just not cooperating...food was on point...
I feel like my belly is looking more poochy lately, so spent a bit of time in front of the mirror trying to figure out why...I think my sides are shrinking so the proportions are shifting...yay, less love handles...boo, poochy belly look...0 -
Hogwarts points through Friday = 1087
Going out of town this weekend - YAY
Lots of work to do on the house, and no kids coming along, so hopefully some extraordinary nakid cuddle time!!!0 -
The stupid MFP app wouldn't work on my phone, so I ended up deleting it and having to use the browser to do the things I absolutely needed to do like report GoT time...however since the web app isn't scaled for mobile I didn't do anything other than the bare minimum, so no posting here.
The weekend was good...lots and lots and lots of manual labor, like 10 hours on Sat and another 3 on Sun, plus travel home. So I'm a bit sore today, but not injured or anything, just a bit stiff in the muscles from the work and the sitting in the car. The house looks nice, got some bamboo shredded, weeds pulled, mulch put down, walls painted, and started on the mud for the bathroom. All in all plenty done, plus a nice weekend without the teenagers and lots of bedroom time. Saturday night I didn't want to go out after cleaning up from the days work, and I didn't want to cook something fancy and involved, so we just had a skillet dinner, fried potatoes, onions, mushrooms, eggs, all topped with cheddar cheese...totally delicious...plus some hard cider, yum!!!0 -
Monday - did some walking...skipped abs, overslept...skipped weights, way too tired...went to bed early, and still tired, but I'm guessing it's just the tail end of this cold and I'll recover soon.0
-
Tuesday - walking and weights...thought about doing more walking and/or stretching during Bones, but I was soooo tired I was afraid I wouldn't make it through weights if I did, so I just laid on the couch for TV time...on the plus side, I was able to increase some of my weights (squats, check, back, curls)...and I'm up to maintenance calories for the next 2 weeks which makes me so happy...progress is good!!!0
-
Wednesday - just walking, my daughter and I had haircuts in the evening, so it was about 9:30pm when I finally had dinner and then I went to bed after, so no extra working out. Food was totally on point, and I bounced down 2 lbs today...I don't get it, but I'll take it!0
