Current stats:
Weight: 179.2
Right thigh: 25"
Left thigh: 25"
Waist: 35"
Chest: 40"
Right biceps: 13"
Left biceps" 12.5"
Hips: 42.5"
The weight is coming down slowly. Not too much of a change in the stats, but another half an inch off my waist. I'm not complaining about that at all!
Friday was legs and this was yet another killer workout. I have never done so many different types of squats. My legs felt like Jello by the end but that's okay. I made it through my first week! I get the weekend to recover and boy do I need it.
During this week, I also decided to completely give up soda. Since I have read a ton of studies linking artifical sweeteners to obesity and a much greater risk of stroke (among 90 other health issues that aspartame is known to cause), I did not want to just switch to diet soda. So, I'm drinking water, milk, and an occasional glass of watered down juice. So far I'm not missing it at all. I gave up caffiene back in October and so I haven't added coffee or tea to my drink menu.
I have also been working this week on eating much healthier whole foods and I've cut out almost all sodium from my diet. So far I'm loving it. I feel dramatically better and I don't feel the weird anxiety about my blood pressure all the time. Yay for progress!
