sooooooo nice to see the numbers on the scale going down! One more pound and I'll have a 10 pound weight loss! This is the 4th week since I started and to have lost 9 pounds in 4 weeks makes me very happy. If I could keep this up by March I'll have lost 18 pounds ;-) I don't know if its possible but I am sure going to keep working hard and try to get close to that ;-)
Anyway, nothing new to report. Plan to hit the gym tomorrow. Today I did the ellipitcal and treadmill. Tomorrow I'll do some cardio and than lift some weights.
Have a good one! Casey

No weight loss this week
well i didn't lose any pounds this last week. i thought I had gained but I stepped on the scale and I'm still 177. Maybe I put on some muscle? Who knows but I'm not going to let it get me down. I've got my family doing this with me so we will all stick together. During the good weeks and the bad. I'm going to keep going ;-). At least I have lost 6lbs! I can't wait for the milestone where I see 169 flashing up at me and I can say goodbye to the 70s. Than I will really feel like I'm accomplishing something! Today I worked on lifting my butt. I will probably do that the next two days. Than I'll hit the gym the 3 days following. Maybe next week I'll do some Insanity, or if I get a wild hair I'll do it this week. It's a little hard on the knee's and BBL really targets my booty ;-)
I have a pile of homework to do and that is getting me down :( I can't wait til the day when I don't have homework. I miss just being able to come home and hang out with my family. But just like all the hard work I'm putting into losing weight this too will pay off. All the things I am doing will be worth it in the end. I just have to keep telling myself... I CAN DO THIS ;-)

myfitnesspal.com
today I found another tool to help me reach my goals. The website myfitnesspal.com helps you track your calories and your exercise. I've been keep tracking on paper but now I just punch it in the computer. All the guess work is taken out of trying to figure out how much I am eating and it also tells you how many calories you have burned working out if the machine doesn't tell you. I LOVE IT ;-)
A few of my friends are on there and my sister and mom joined. When you have friends on there it updates you on there progress as well. Therefore it keeps us all accountable and make it encouraging for everyone. Today marked the third week I have worked out 5 days in a row. I'm feeling really good about my progress and how things are going. I'm excited to keep going and to continue to see my results. I really feel like I can do this and I know I get annoying but I really think my friends can do it too. Therefore I bug them A LOT about working out ;-)
ANyway, hope you all are enjoying my journey! Until next time! Casey

CELLULITE
I have cellulite and I hate it. So I decided to do some research on it and here are some interesting facts I found and thought I should share!
Cellulite is created when fat manages to push its way through tiny holes in your connective tissue, the thick web of interwoven fibers just underneath your skin. Strong and healthy connective tissue forms a tighter web of interwoven fibers, preventing fat from pressing its way through. Weak, unhealthy connective tissue, on the other hand, more easily stretches apart, allowing tiny fat pockets to poke through.
WHAT SHAPE ARE YOU?
Genetically speaking, there are two predominant body types. Some people gain fat in their lower bodies, creating the pear shape mentioned earlier. Others tend to gain fat in their abdomens, creating what's known as an apple shape. (My body shape is PEAR)
GOOD NEWS FOR ME
Though you may have come to despise the fat on your hips and thighs, you should know that you have a major advantage over people who tend to gain it elsewhere. Research has shown over and over again that abdominal fat--and not hip and thigh fat--is particularly dangerous to your health. Abdominal fat more easily makes its way into your bloodstream, clogging your arteries. Thigh fat is much less likely to do so.
BAD NEWS FOR ME
Thigh fat is a little harder to burn off than belly fat. Abdominal fat is easy to hide with a big sweater. Thigh fat, on the other hand, is almost impossible to hide. And summer can be a very difficult time for women. Womean with fat thighs don't like wearing shorts and swimsuits because they hate revealing their legs. And your pants tend to hug too tightly in the thighs. (I've noticed that my belly is getting firmer---I have a pudge there too, but it seems to lose faster than the thighs, DAMN those thighs!)
At least I lost like 3 inches out of my thighs. I must be doing something right. ANyway, this week I did BBL to work my legs, hips and butt and today its back to the gym. I miss the gym on my days off from there. I think its good to switch my workouts up but it always feels good to get back to the gym.
However, I havent been to bed yet. I am up working and than I have school tomorrow.I am going to be one tired lady. Cus I am tired now! yikes! may have to buy something caffienated (not POP, tho)
Anyway, til next time! CJN
oh here's a picture from Septemeber of my nasty legs that need work!

PROOF I'VE LET MYSELF GO :(
ABOVE PICTURES ARE BEFORE I GAINED WEIGHT!
LOOK AT ME NOW.
.

I've gained even more weight since this picture!
look at those legs, ugh
Trying to suck the belly in here! bahhhhhhhh
There are worse pictures than these because I've put on 20lbs since these pictures were taken. But Im in not mood to put a real FAT ASS picture up. Anyway, I wonder if I can ever get close to what I was before. Kinda depressing when I look at those pictures cus I really let myself go. I wish I'd have done something BEFORE now. I don't know that I can ever look like that again. But I'm going to try to get close and at least be healthier than I am now.

Measurements are in!
Well today we measured and I've lost inches! However, we did make a mistake on my chest last time. So I don't have an accurate measurement for it.
R Arm - 11 (no loss)
L Arm - 11 1/2 (gain?)
Waist - 31 (2 inches lost!)
Chest - 37 (last time I had written down 25 1/2, so that cannot be correct)
Hips - 41 (3 inches lost!)
R Calf - 17 (no change)
L Calf - 17 (no change)
R thigh - 22 1/2 (3 inches lost!)
L thigh - 22 (3 1/2 inches lost!)
Weight: 177lbs
Our next time to measure in is Feb 6th! I feel good with the result thus far. I've lost 6 pounds and a combined total of 11 1/2 inches in two weeks. This makes me excited for the next two weeks to see what progress I make in a month.
Today's workout consisted of 20 minutes on the elliptical for 2 miles and 207 cals burned. 20 minutes on the bike rower for 4.9 miles and 349 calories. 130 crunches, 20 leg pull ups, 20 bicep curls, 10 arms out, 20 arms up, and 20 behind the head with 10lb dumbbells. We worked out for an hour. It felt good to be back at the gym after not working out during the weekend. I think my body is starting to crave it and with results like this I can't let myself or my body down! We are gaining on the loosing! haha!
Until Later! Casey
