Measurements Revisited

About two weeks ago I did my second set of measurements at the gym.

And can I just say thank God for results.

3" lost off my waist. A couple inches overall elsewhere.

5 pounds total since I started, which also means 5 pounds since I was last measured, as there were only very small changes last month.

AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaand!

An almost 5% reduction in body fat. This is the most exciting and fulfilling result of all of them - it's the one that matters the most for overall health and the one that seems to be the most difficult to see drastic results in.

The ladders, the foot cramps, the sweat, the stress, the embarrassment, the hard work, the smiles, and the tears are paying off.

I wish I had had the chance to post when this first came up, but as I am without internet, it has been no easy feat to get to my blog.

Heartfelt thanks to all of you who have been supporting me through this. Also a big thank you to my trainers! The look on Joe's face when I told him about the body fat and weight loss was so gratifying, because not only did he know that my hard work was paying off, but so was his. I think it takes a bit of a village to do this and I'm so lucky to have so many wonderful people who are working on this with me in some way or another.
