Month 5 Stats

Here is a late update on my numbers for the last month, and the running total below:

Weight: 126.5lb (down 0.5lb)
Body Fat: 28% (no change)
Chest: 32.5" (no change)
Waist: 26.5" (no change)
Hips: 38.5" (no change)
Thighs: 22"(no change)

Total so far: down 10.5lb, 6%, 7.5"

I'll take the mostly no change as a small victory, considering I spent a month away from home, my exercise routing was disrupted, and I was eating out for pretty much every meal.

On the Road, Again

I've been away from home for the past 17 days. 10 more days until I'm back in California. Right now my husband and I are in Maine, and we're driving to Quebec this afternoon.

My routine has been somewhat disrupted; I don't have my Supreme Whey Protein with me, so my protein consumption has been poor. I do have the Power Pops, and the Hoodia in them is helping keep my hunger in check. They've helped me before, so I decided to buy them again for this trip.

I haven't been able to weigh myself, or to take my measurements, so I won't know until the 20th of October when I'm back home whether I've lost weight this month or not. I'm not expecting a loss as traveling always takes its toll on my diet and exercise routing. For the first 2 weeks of my trip I stayed with family in NY and that can be stressful, adding to the calories I eat. I've stayed off sugar the whole time, almost 6 months now since I'm off the stuff (not eating high fructose corn syrup either).

While away from home I've been doing the ChaLean Extreme workouts (I put the videos on my hard drive and brought my laptop with me) using the resistance bands instead of free weights. Some days I alternate that with the Royal Canadian Air Force exercises or the Thin Thighs is 30 Days book for some variety. I haven't been doing as much cardio as I should. In fact I should do a ChaLean Extremecardio workout tonight at the hotel.

I will update my weight and measurements as soon as I get back to California. For now I will enjoy my trip and continue to be kind to myself.
