Day 22

I know, shocking....the last time I posted a blog was a number of days ago...
Well.  It has been rather busy and hence the slacking in the blogging.  I've been preoccupied with two assignments that I needed to work on which have to be handed in on Friday (Monday today). On that note, I have stuck by Tracy's diet as best I can.  Again, have substituted certain elements, but nothing seriously. For example, if she had a wilted spinach stew, and I had Kale to finish up, I'd use the Kale...so nothing too serious there.  However I have had 2 evenings where I had a work function on and didn't follow the menu for the dinner which was accompanied by some alcoholic beverage.  I can safely say that I never went overboard on the alcohol consumption, though it wasn't part of the TAM master plan and hence would have hindered my ultimate success.

As for the exercising, there were a few nights that I sacrificed all my spare time to working on my assignments and the exercising took a back seat again not major though would have hindered my ultimate weight-loss success.

Okay, having said that, I have also come to the conclusion, that after I have completed boot-camp.  I will have to ultimately follow boot-camp again or as a guide line in order to continue with my weight-loss goal.  I think the menu plan has given me a good indication as what can be eaten and the ingredients for a full days meal plan.

Now, the results so far: dun dun daaaaaa:

Bust: 95 cm - now 94 cm - 1cm loss
Waist: 74.6cm - now 73 cm - 0.4cm loss
Hips and Tummy: 85.5 cm - now 88 cm (that's an odd one?)
Thigh: 54cm - now 55cm (again, another odd one?)
Calf: 36.3 - now 37.1 (I'm seeing a pattern here)
Bum: 94 cm - now 94 cm (no change)
Arm: 30 cm - now 29 cm - 1cm loss
Weight: 60.2 - now 59.8 kg's (yaaaaay!)


I know my measurements haven't been exactly adding up.  I'm loosing weight but putting cm's back on and no, it's not muscle.  Hmmm, me thinks hubby needs a lesson in using the tape measurer... Well besides that, i'm not at my ultimate goal and I know there is still quite a bit of work to go.  My ideal goal weight is 52kg.  When I reach 55kg, I will be ecstatic and know to push through for the remaining 3 kg. However, I am just super super super pleased to have past my 60kg plateau and finally on the 59kg level...  Although I am hindered in not being able to exercise thoroughly with all the work that I on at the moment (just one week left of it) and progress is slow, at least there is progress.


I have to mention this.  I stumbled onto a Victoria Secret fashion show.  Boy, those girls are absolutely blessed in the figure department.  The Bible speaks of angels impregnating humans and creating beautiful heroes and giants (Old Testament).  I reckon those leggy girls certainly have that perfect gene in their bloodline.  Now they did motivate me to become super slink and sexy (for me and my hubby) however I realised that I will never be able to look like them because I am a mere 1.58 cm (5.2 or 5.4 ft) in height and they are all above 5.9 ft tall! Okay and obviously they are all super beautiful and I started to get really depro :(  Then, I immediately remembered the Youtube clip with Tracy doing her photo shoot for the Meta dvd's.  Given that she is a petite lady who is probably the same height as me, she still looks so amazingly, toned, healthy and super sexy.  And as I watched that clip I just thanked the heavens for Tracy, as that clip so motivates me that although i'll never be tall like the VS models, I someday can have the super amazing body Tracy promises (if you follow her way) vertically challenged or not!
