WIW – Race Week Edition

This week: 186.8

Last week: 185.6

I’m okay with the number. I’m coming off my period AND I ate all the carbs while in NYC. Pizza, bagels, and AMAZING FOOD at Oda House – thanks VeggieLife and Fromthebackofthepack for the recommendation – everything was superb and we loved the wine too. 

I biked and ran my tri course again yesterday, felt good. Looking forward to my 2 swims to get in this week that will hopefully further calm my nerves. 

Trying to eat well and hydrate this week. Still figuring out what to eat the day before and morning of. I have a basic nutrition game plan, but I need to tighten it up. 

WIW

Last week: 186.2

Today: 184.6

Change: -1.6

Triathlon training and being “in like” both apparently do a body good. 

I plan to do another 425-450 yard swim today after work and then at least a 12 mile bike ride since I leave for North Carolina tomorrow and won’t be back until Monday. 

WIW

Today: 186.2

I saw 184.8 on Friday before I left for reunion after my 3 day shakeology cleanse, so consider everything I ate and drank this weekend, I’m okay with the number. 

I’m still feeling fit, strong, good…

June 1 Measurements

On Sunday before/after (I can’t recall) wrapping up Insanity with my last fit test I took my measurements. I SHOULD have taken my before measurements, but I wasn’t fully confident in my ability to finish the program I suppose. Regardless here are the current numbers – let’s see how they look in 2 months after my triathlon and after I finish the pump/insanity hybrid 

  • Chest: 35 (under breasts) / 39 (mid breast) 
  • Smallest waist: 33.5
  • Belly Button: 40
  • Hips: 41.5
  • Upper Thigh: 26.5
  • Mid Upper Thigh: 22
  • Calf: ~16
  • Ankle: ~9
  • Wrist: 6
  • Neck: ~13
  • Mid Upper Arm: forgot to measure b/c I’m a idiot – will get on it

WIW – Healthy Skin Edition

Last week (and the past few weeks): 187.8

Today: 186.2

Change: -1.6 lbs

BOOM! It’s about freaking time. Last few days of Insanity are pushing me in to high gear coupled with triathlon training and abstaining from gluten. 

I also went to the dermatologist (for the first time in about a decade – hello being 30 and getting my affairs together) for a wellness check up. The doctor was sassy, no-nonsense, and a cougar. ALL CLEAR from the doc. She told me I’m doing everything right, keep up with the sunscreen of at least SPF 30 and that it’s better to lead a full and active life in the sun than sit in the house in fear of the sun. AMEN! 

I’m headed back next month to get a small little skin tag removed from behind my knee. It’s something I’ve been self conscious of for years, but I’m sure most people don’t notice. I have some flex spending money to burn through and this is a god use for some of it! 

WIW

Holding steady at 187.2 for over a week now. 

I have a feeling I’ll have a big drop in the next week or two, but like I said yesterday I feel effin’ great. 

Confidence like whoa!

WIW

Last week (and 2 weeks before that): 190.0

Today: 191.6

Change +1.6

Not surprised. Totally pigged out while on Long Island for Easter and the with the subsequent treats that came back with me.
