When I took the first pictures in July I took measurements and the other day I re took my chest and waist measurements. I've lost 3 1/2 inches from my chest and 2 1/2 inches from my waist! YAY! I'm also excited because I can finally fit comfortably into the capri's I bought back in June! Too bad it's getting cold... but I plan on wearing them enough to try to justify what I paid for them! I hope that I don't fit into them next spring/summer!!
I got my hair cut and colored yesterday! It's kinda in an awkward stage of growing out, but I still like it. I went platinum blonde... because I can ;)
Today is the official start date for the Thin it to Win it Challenge... they have had way more people than expected so the website is sssssllllloooooowww. It's a little discouraging because it's not a very fun way to start a challenge like this. I know they are working hard to get it going, though.
Since I got my haircut yesterday before work I didn't have a lot of time to workout before work. I probably could have squeezed it in but I didn't get it done. So, at work I did the stairs... I'm on 4th floor and I went up to 9th, then down to 1st and back up to 4th. I started out going quickly and after about 2 flights my legs were on fire and I was breathing heavy... wow, I didn't realize how hard it would be for me to walk stairs! I made it to the top and of course going down was much easier... I used it to try to recover. Surprisingly, going from 1st to 4th wasn't too bad. I timed myself and I'm going to try to continue to beat my time.
Afterwards, I wasn't really feeling well. I was with a patient and was not feeling well, so when I was finished with the exam I sat for a little bit and had a coworker take my blood pressure. It was 131/64... I haven't taken my blood pressure for a long time so I really don't have anything to compare it to, to see if it's normal for me or not... but at least I know it wasn't way too high.
