Almost one year ago

It was May when I started my bootcamp sessions.
I have done 6 months...working on 7. They were not all together, I took a 5 month break.
I went and found my very first pamphlet with my measurements on it.
You know, when I look at myself in the mirror I see changes, but I still feel like I am still bigger like before.
But, now I cannot believe I lost that many inches lol.
OR can I believe thats how big things were lol
2 kids in 2 years will do that to you...
I am so proud of how far I have come, and will continue on as far as I can go....
I just won't stress about it.
I find the harder you try, the less likely it is you will lose the weight.
I am only going 2-3 days a week.
I did the testing class monday and got measured. I am impresses how well my endurance and strength held up lol.
I even beat my run time by 30 secs!!! wow.
I am super sore today lol
I am planning on going this morning, if Brandon is awake in time ;)

Anyways I wanted to share my inches lost.

Richt Bicep - 2.5 inches
Chest - 5 i nches (sorry brandon lol)
Abdomen - 5 inches
Hips - 6.5 inches
Right Thigh - 4 inches
Calf - 1.5 (my calfs were always skinny lol)

So overall thats 25 inches and counting :) Not bad!!!

So I guess I really do look different in the mirror and its only my distorted image of myself thats the problem lol.
Now time to look for a before and after pic....if I have any....not many pics taken of me back then.

5 days...

I will have been off this week. I cannot remember the last time I was off that many!
It has been nice, as I did have one rough day on sunday. A break is always good when you feel so emotionally drained.
But, the bank really can't afford it. I think some OT is in order for this coming week lol.
We have had some really nice warm sunny days here. It hit 22 the other day, I got my first hint of pink on my skin lol.
I keep wanting to change the kids clothes into all summer....but I am sure we will hot the cool rainy spring days before that happens.
I got my hair done....a bit blonder. I am slowly lightening it up as it gets closer to summer.
I had a break for bootcamp, as my schedule and illness did not allow me to make last session. But, back again on monday. I will only be able to make it 2 to 3 times a week, but I figure that is good enough. The hour is killer lol.

One more interesting thing, Brandon and I are registering to take Punjabi classes at the local univeristy. I want to so I can understand my patients, as we get many that do not speak english and speak punjabi. Brandon, well I am not sure why he wants to..besides to talk to all the grandpas that drop off their grandkids to school with Arianna.... :D

We start April 28th. Its 12 weeks, 2 hrs a week. Then there is a level 2.
I am sure it is going to be VERY hard...lol
Can you imagine us speaking it ....haha makes me laugh.
I just want to understand it more then speak it ;)
