Week Six Weigh In

Let me start by saying not only did we survive Ben's farewell workout, but we all showed up for BBC - IROC style!! I will say it was certainly different not having Ben there, but I think we all did pretty well considering. We did a cardio day and a "bootie camp day" we had to make a few modifications, but all in all not too bad!! They were last chance workouts for us because we knew we had to face the week six "weigh in".
Judgement day was today for me - and boy was I nervous! I didn't want to let myself, Ben and the other girls down. We are all working so hard and I wanted so badly to see good numbers! I really did not want to be disappointed.
So, my d-day started with me getting on the scale at home....I am 18 pounds lighter than I was on 2/18!! I am still shocked - and it put me in a pretty good mood to head to the gym and face the calipers and the tape measure.
Here are some highlights of my week six "weigh in":
My body fat went from 35% to 29%
I lost a total of nine inches - five of which were in my waist - HOLY CRAP!!!
(I gained an inch and a quarter in my thighs, but I can deal with that....we'll call it muscle growth!!)
I am just so excited - and MOTIVATED!! All the hard work is paying off...and for the first time in a really long time I am actually, genuinely proud of myself!! I have a long way to go, but today is a victory in my book!!
Have a great night everyone!!

Oh, and Ben's Back from PA - we remembered this morning how much we missed him the past two days! Someone needs to hide that fire hose on Ben!!! He keeps coming up with new ways for us to "slam it". True Story: 20 bucks to the first person who puts it in the middle of Bootie Camp Pond!
