Month 1 Stats

So I finally weighed myself and took my measurements this morning. The results were:

Weight: 132lb (down 5lb)
Body Fat: 31% (down 3%)
Chest: 34" (no change)
Waist: 27" (down 2")
Hips: 40" (down 1")
Thighs: 22.5"(down 0.5")

That's a 5 pound loss, a 3.5 inch loss and a reduction of 3 body fat percentage points. I'll take it! I feel I could have done better, I really need to step up my exercise.

Here's to the start of month 2! Cheers!

Feeling good, low appetite!

I've been feeling great these days! I have been exercising every other day, still short of my daily commitment, but I'm starting to feel more energetic. One thing with the Pure Thermo Burn is that it kills my appetite! I have been forgetting to eat, and I work at home, which used to have me raiding the fridge and cupboards all day. I'm getting so much work done, and I've been eating very little as a result of this appetite suppressant effect. This is huge for me. Food used to be on my mind the whole day! I was either eating or planning my next meal or snack. Now I actually get work done, and my productivity has soared. I guess I'll take it as a nice side effect from the Pure Thermo Burn!

Sugar-free is the way to be!

I haven't had any sugar since April 23rd. I cannot believe how much better I feel! Sugar has always been a problem for me but I cannot seem to stay off it for too long. Last year I read Sugar Shock by Connie Bennett, and I could check off pretty much all of the symptoms of sugar intoxication that she mentions in the book. Ugh... It's been two weeks now and I'm staying strong. It is amazing how I just do not feel hungry when I am eating sugar.

I have been taking my Pure Thermo Burn and my Supreme Whey Protein as recommended, but I still haven't been able to settle into a daily exercise routine. (Granted, taking a pill and drinking a tasty vanilla shake are easier actions to take!) I had a killer calisthenics session this morning, and am pretty wobbly right now. Yesterday I did not exercise. It's been pretty much every other day, for 45 minutes. I will increase that.

I will weigh myself only on Monday the 17th of May, but I feel that my pants are not digging in my skin so much at the waist. All my clothes are super tight, but I refuse to buy larger sizes as I see that as throwing the towel.
