Work Out Wednesdays

Ok so even though today is Thursday I owe you a daily post from Wednesday also, so I decided to do both.
Every Wednesday i am going to do a post with my stats that week and with pictures so that I can document my weight loss. Some of the areas I am measuring are not the traditional measurement places but there are some other parts of my body that I am monitoring also. SO here are the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Height: 5'2
Weight: 159
Chest:40 1/2 in.
Ribcage: 32 1/2 in.
Right Bicep: 13 in.
Left Bicep: 12 1/2 in.
Natural Waist:32 in.
Lower Stomach (Pooch area): 34 in.
Hips: 41 1/2 in.
Right Thigh: 25 1/2 in.
Left Thigh: 24 1/2 in.



UGH!!!!!!!!! The measurements are what freaks me out. I knew that I gained weight but I had no idea that equated to this on paper. Well, I know what I have to do to get in check.

I went to the gym last night for about an hour and did cardio on the treadmill. I plan on going back tomorrow and doing cardio and weights. I want to go to the gym at least 3 times a week, and I want to go in the mornings before work, but I am NOT a morning person, so we will see how that goes. The hardest part for me will be cutting back on carbs. I LOVE carbs, rice, pasta, bread, all of it. But I know if I want to get back to a size I am comfortable with, then I have to let some of my beloved carbs go (notice I didn't say ALL. lol).

my goals are to lose 20-30 pounds. That number depends on how I feel about how I look when I get to 20 pound weight loss. I may be good at that number. We will see.
I want to reduce inches on my waist (4 inches on natural, and 6 inches on lower, to get to a 28 inch waist), chest (4 1/2, to get to a 36) I would also like to reduce my cup size (I've grown to a DD!, but I don't know if that will be possible), arms (I have no idea what size, I guess just when the look good), and my thighs (I just want to tone them up, size doesn't matter). I also want to get rid of my back fat.  Whew! that's alot.

Those are my overall goals, I think for the moment I will focus on losing 20 pounds and reducing inches on my waistline. So next Wednesday, I will be back with my stats to see if what I am doing is working.
