I am down to 110 pounds. That is one pound less than last month on this cycle day. I always take my "true" weight around this time because I'm am holding less water. I took measurements this morning and although I can't remember my exact numbers from the last time, I think they look like they are still about the same. The only number I really love is my waist: 24". The rest need some work.
thigh: 19.5" at widest area
hips: 35.5"
shoulders: 38.5" (I took this myself so not sure how accurate it is...have to have Bigs measure me later)
bicep: 9.5" flexed
I don't know how realistic it is, but I'd like to get my thigh measurement down another inch. Fat be gone! My bicep is puny. I want to add muscle to my shoulders and biceps. And of course, legs. I WILL have a damn hamstring swoop by May! Calves...eh, I could care less.
Not much else to report. Still chomping on those home made pumpkin protein bars. They are really my best friend right now. That and RAWprotein powder. Some people describe it as chalky. And it is a bit, but it's not gross or anything. And I like the taste. It's really nutty. It's made from 13 sprouted grains and seeds. Plus live probiotics and enzymes. I use a whey protein drink after my workouts but to supplement at any given meal time where I don't think I'm meeting my requirement for protein, I would drink this in addition to my meal. It's only 80 calories too so while I'm adding 20 grams of protein, I'm only adding 80 calories. All the protein powders I have used range from 120 to 150 calories for the same amount of protein. So I think it's win win.
