Hit up Spotlight or another craft/sewing store, they usually have measuring taps for like $1-2?

JetzGurl

Name: Kristi, aka SpecialK_Flett

Challenge starting weight: 192 lbs

End of challenge goal weight: 153 lbs

Your Plan to get to your goal weight: Maintain a calorie goal conducive to a pound and a half per week weight loss and to alternate days between my interval treadmill work out and Wii Fit Yoga. My goal for the treadmill is to start off with 30mins at a 3.5 incline, 2.5mph base and a 4.5 incline, 3.5mph sprint and increase my time by 5 mins every 2 weeks until I'm doing 45 mins at my starting speeds. Then I will do 2 weeks of 30 mins at 3 and 4 mph respectively. Once again, upping my time by 5 mins every 2 weeks until I'm doing 45 mins. Finally, my final goal will be 30, eventually increasing to 45, mins at 3.5 and 4.5 mph respectively.

My Yoga Goal is to add a new pose every time, always doing at least 30 minutes every session. When the kids are back in school, my husband and I are going to look into Hot Yoga. We thought that, in addition to improving flexibility and balance, it would be a great thing to do ‘together’. Kind of an alone time thing


Challenge Starting Measurements: (I will take these when I get home and fill them in)
neck:
chest:
arms: left and right
waist:
hips:
thighs: left and right

My regular weigh in day is Thursday so I will be updating my weight then. I will also update my measurements every 2 weeks as this is my 'usual' routine.

Good Luck Everyone!

Hey,
My August goals are to complete w5 of the c25k. I finished w5d1 today. I am also making sure to stay active at least 6 days of the week and keeping Sunday as my rest day. I have already made a lifestyle change with my eating habits. Thanks to my sister. I am trying to lose 10 lbs by the end of this month, but I am not sure if I am going to make it as the scale doesn't show me losing weight, however my clothes are much more loose. Well I don't want to continue to ramble. So tell me, what are your goals for August.

i think for me august is really a "getting back on track for serious" month. getting back in the habit of eating better and working out... losing a few pounds wouldn't hurt, either lol.
