I think I like blogging while actually driving better. Less people have a chance to stare at me wondering wth I'm doing in my car talking to myself. ;)

10% GOAL! :)
I started a video blog today so you can see that below. I screwed up in the video blog and said my weight is 178.7 but that was my 10% goal weight, I'm actually 178.5 not that 2/10th of a pound matters in the grand scheme of things but that's why there's a discrepency. ;)

30 Day Curves Results
My 30 days Curves study was up today so I did my weigh and measure. I'm very pleased with the results and can tell you I am glad that they weigh and measure there on a monthly basis because I'm pretty blown away. I knew how much weight I had lost but I didn't really "see" any difference as far as inches were concerned so it was nice to see that there are actually changes (and quite a few actually).
The same girl that measured me the first day measured me again. I was glad for that just because of consistency.
So here are my results:
Weight: -9 pounds (Of course this is after breakfast and with clothes on so their numbers are a little different than what I have at home)
Bust: -1.25 inches (poor hubby)
Waist: -1.0 inch
Abdomen: -1.0 inch
Hips: -1.75 inches
Thigh: -1.5 inches
Arm: -1 inch
Body Fat %: -1.9%
And if you assume that both my thighs/arms are the same that means:
Total Inches Lost: -10.0 Inches
Now I'm kind of a geek so I decided to calculate this out:
1st day there I had 73.34 pounds of fat
Today I have 66.43 pounds of fat
According their numbers, I lost 9 pounds of total weight of which almost 7 pounds was pure fat. Not too shabby.
I know I still have a long way to go but these results are awesome for 30 days. It gives me the motivation to keep doing it!

Damn you 180!!!
Damn you 180 pounds!!! Ok, no, I'm kidding. I'm exceptionally happy that I lost 1.6 pounds this week and I'm at 180, but I was hoping for 179.9. What's the big deal about that 1/10th of a pound? My BMI officially drops to 29.9 at 179.9 pounds which makes me overweight instead of obese. The 180 means my BMI is exactly 30.0 So, UGH! ONE TENTH OF A POUND!!!
Honestly, it's ok, it means that by next Monday I'll totally be in the zone of being under a BMI of 30 and I'll be well on my way.
I'm very surprised and pleased that I've stuck with this for so long this time. I wasn't sure if I would. But I have. I want to pat myself on the back for that. *pat pat* I still can't fit into the undies I bought myself in April but I'm feeling confident that I will soon.
For shits and giggles I decided to try on a pair of size 13 pants I got at Hot Topic a few years ago. I think they are Jr's sizes because "women's" don't have 13's. So I'm not sure if they are really a 13 (meaning halfway between a 12 and a 14) or if they are a totally different sizing altogether.
Either way they are totally cute capri's and it's getting hot out so I need something for the days I don't have to be in a lab playing with chemicals. When I first started this, I could do the dance to get the pants up over my ass but there was no way in HELL that I could button them. Like not even close.
Today? I got them up over my ass and buttoned them! I like my clothes baggy so they are a bit tighter than I would like them, so I won't be wearing them outside the house just yet but HELLO WOOHOO!! I got these not only up over my ass without having to do the shimmy dance AND they buttoned! YES YES YES!!!
Now, come on 170's! *glares*

2 more GONE!
Last Monday I was 183.6 and this morning I was 181.6. Two more pounds GONE! I just realized that if I lose 2 more pounds by next Monday I will no longer be OBESE!
Oh yea! I'll be on the high end of "overweight" but my category will have officially changed from Obese to overweight! WOOHOO!!!
I've lost a total of 16.9 pounds since I started this on April 17th. That's 16.9 pounds in just over 6 weeks. I'm pretty stoked about that, really. That means my average weekly weight-loss is 2.82 pounds.
I've also been working out consistently at Curves 5 times a week for the last 3 weeks. I really enjoy going there. I leave there feeling good and energized and ready to face the day. I know I considered not going there after my 30 days is up; but, I'm going to do it.
Even if I max out what they can offer me before my year commitment is up, I still feel really good when I leave there so I can go and just get my cardio in. At this point I'm no where near hitting the ceiling of what they can offer so I am going to enjoy it and work hard with it.
Next stop the 170's followed shortly by the 160's!
