Hello everyone!
I finished day 1 last night (pretty late, I crashed into bed when I was finished) and already woke up today and walked for an hour. I also had a pretty healthy, filling breakfast.
I had one cup of plain fat free Greek yogurt and 1/2 a pint of blueberries. Total protein- 24 grams. I still feel kind of full after eating it, and it was delicious!
Going to get my day 2 workout done today with a little more reps and maybe an hour of dance cardio (not all at once, 30 minutes, a break, 30 minutes) but we'll see. At least 30 minutes.
As usual I will post again later with how I did. Last night was 20x each leg rep, today 25 and so on.
Have a happy Tuesday!

Beginning Stats and Why the Scale Doesn't Matter So Much
Hello everyone!
I am still feeling the effects of last night's workout. I am sore but not broken (yet!) and for the first time in a while, I was actually ravenous when I woke up this morning. I'm normally not a breakfast eater but today was a different story.
I did eat breakfast so far- 1 cup of Fage fat free Greek yogurt and a large Fuji apple. Lunch will probably be something lighter but maybe I'll make myself a small buffalo burger (no bun) and some salad. Dinner would probably be similar or a Think Thin bar if I am not that hungry.
Also- I forgot to post my measurements last night, so here they are-
Bust: 48 inches
Waist: 46 inches
Hips: 53 inches
Arm: 16 inches
Thigh: 29.5 inches
Weight: 282.1 pounds
Arm and thigh are always measured on the right side.
Also, I am not going to weigh myself daily. In fact, I am only weighing myself every 10 days. Why? Here is a video explaining why.
Weight fluctuates ALL THE TIME. As the video shows, you can gain 20 pounds in one day just from the weight of things you put into your body/water/etc. So, the best way for me (as someone who used to obsess over the scale- not trying to get sucked back into THAT mess again) is to track what the measuring tape says, not the scale. Every 10 days for the scale is fine, just to see how I am doing and perhaps maybe motivate someone (or even myself) that you CAN get lighter.
I will be doing my workout shortly, will check in this evening!
Have a great day!
