My First Progress Report

I started with my personal trainer in November...which in hindsight, wasn't the best timing due to pending holidays; but we made it through Thanksgiving, starting a new job (and getting a 2hour commute everyday) holiday parties, Christmas, a couple colds, and general holiday madness with me gaining no weight YAY! Although we hadn't been able to keep a good steady flow of sessions due to my crazy schedule, she has been there to answer every text, give me food swap out suggestions, give me goals to aim for when working out on my own and has been the biggest source of emotional support. Today we did my first measurements and here are my results:

11/15/13:

Arms: 12 1/2 in............2/3/14: 11 3/4 (Lost 3/4in)
Waist: 36 3/4 in...........2/3/14: 35 1/2 (Lost 1 1/2in)
Chest: 42 1/2 in...........2/3/14: 41 1/4 (Lost 1 1/2in)
Thighs: 25 1/2in..........2/3/14: 23 1/4 (Lost 2 1/4in)
Hips: 52 1/4in...........2/3/14: 50 (Lost 2 1/4in)
Stomach: 44 1/2in.......2/3/14: 44 (Lost 1/2in)

Weight: 213.............2/3/14: 208lbs (Lost 5lbs)

It seems like a small victory but it's a HUGE victory in my book. I can't remember the last time I was this proud of myself. I'm so motivated to keep going and see what my next measurements results will be in the next 6-8 weeks!!
