Halfway Through...I can do it!

Well, yesterday marked my halfway point in the 28 day challenge that I am taking part in and I am happy to report that all is going well! After the first week I weighed and measured myself and was disappointed with the measurement results cause I thought that there would be a change. There was a slight change in the weight which was reassuring. I kind of felt frustrated but realised that maybe I was expecting too much too soon. I stepped back on the scale and did my measurements on Saturday and I was shocked! A good kind of shocked...I have lost some more weight but the biggest surprise was the amount of inches that I lost in less than 2 weeks. A whopping 10.5 inches are gone! I mean that is just amazing. That means I am that much closer to my goal. I've got a ways to go but I am feeling really motivated and am just so happy to have an amazing husband, friends and family that are supporting me on this journey. It makes all of the difference.

I am absolutely convinced that these workouts have made more improvement to my body than anything else that I have tried. Maybe I am just more committed to both the eating side and the working out side. Either way I am really excited and happy with the results thus far. I know that this program only lasts 2 more weeks which is why I've created another plan for next month using a workout DVD that I've always wanted to complete but never got around to. It's a 30 day program and I think that the strides that I've made will help me tremendously with completing that one. So that is the plan for September and then for October I am going to repeat the exercises from the 28 day challenge.

Keep cheering for me guys with this cause I need all of the support I can get! One more thing before I change subjects - yesterday I had to do 500 lunges for my exercise...I did them! but I can't walk very well today. hehe

On another note we had a really nice relaxing weekend, didn't do a whole lot. Our neighbours organised a block party BBQ in the garden which was really nice. We got to meet our neighbours which was cool...sad that it took us almost 3 years to get to this point. Just so happy that we had the get together. Everyone is so lovely!

Don't have much news right now. Will keep you updated. Here's a couple of the stinker being his cute self.

What a cute sleeper! hehe
