Beck's Challange

I have joined up with the girls for Beck's 6 week belly buster challange.

I didn't do it so much because I have a big belly, but I did it to simply challenge myself.

I seriously need some encouragement to get off my keester and get moving.

It would be very silly of me to join a challange and then not exercise wouldn't it?

Monday I did a little bit of power walking (in the city walking to my massage), but other than the squats and crunches I did to figure out how many I could do in one sitting I didn't do much else.

What a slacker I am.

So I will be reporting more regularly here about the challange because I need to see my inches to improve. Especially the thigh and arm ones.

I bought a size 10 pair of cream colored business suit pants and they fit everywhere but in the thigh. Yuck. Not a pretty sight.

I was really impressed with how big or small I should say my waist is. I can't remember ever seeing a number lower than 30 something.

I was also impressed with my hip measurement although beck didn't ask for it.

I didnt keep my measurements from the beginning but boy do I wish I had.

So here are my measurements as of Monday:
Neck: 13in
U/Arm: 12in
Bust: 34in
Waist: 29in
Tummy: 31in
Hips: 36in (not that long ago that # was 45+)
Thigh: 22in
Calf: 15in
Ankle: 9in

Did you mean 12 in for your upper arm? 'cause 22 sounds pretty big for the size of the rest of you ... :)

Starting over

Hmm. Starting over is never easy. I'm on a new journey this time. I want to do this for different reasons. I want to do it for me. This week has been an okay one food wise, but I haven't been walking. I have had to suffer rain, but we needed it so it is hard to be mad about it. I know I may have lost a tiny bit of weight, but probably not much. Will weigh myself tomorrow. I had a few too many drinks still. BUT I swear I am trying! It is hard right now. I want to go to the doctor and request some weight-loss drugs. I don't think my doctor will give me them, and I know it is a weak way out, but I want the help. So don't judge me! Thanks so much for the support lately. Even the few of you who still check to see if I am around, your words mean a lot to me.

Do you want what you can't have?

On the way home from work I saw a girl with the figure I want, but will never have. She was young; I think probably around 16 or 17. She was tall with lean legs and she was wearing a pair of trendy short shorts with a t-shirt. She also had amazingly perfect large breasts. I admittedly stared for a moment at her because she didn't have one single blemish. She is so beautiful. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how I will never be that thin, I will probably never wear short shorts, and I definitely will never have those boobs. I wish I didn't look longingly at the things other people have and envy them, but I do. But I don't think I am the only one.

Tweaking

So I've done some tweaking to the code. I now think it looks better in Firefox than IE because IE is not recognising the best font. It is too late right now for me to concern myself with this. At least most of us can actually read it. Also I have to create a new weight chart that is compatible with this design. Thanks a lot for the input. Firefox users, is it better now?
