It Starts...

Okay, my TurboFire came this week.  I'm in the middle of C25k and wanted to finish that first, but my boyfriend brought up a good point- I just spent $140 on this.  So, I will be starting this 12-week journey on Monday (4th of July!)

January of 2009 I weighed 210.  The weight had gone up steadily through undergrad and the first year of grad school.  I was stressed, and therefore stress-eating, and down on myself (low-income, trying to find a job in my field, plus some other emotional set-backs) and therefore, sad-eating.  When it got to 210 I decided to take the bull by the horns.  After high school, I moved to SoCal to perform with a singing & dancing group, and got my weight down to 160.  Apparently that changes when you move to the midwest. But!  I had done it once and convinced myself I could do it again.  Diet changes and incorporating exercise, and July of 2011 I'm at a pretty steady 170.

I would like to get back down to at least 160, and tighten/tone.  Plus, I'm sick of the Wii Fit telling me I'm overweight and watching my Mii get fatter as the thing tells me I'm overweight.

So, as I begin, stats are as follows:

Height: 5'9"
Weight: 170.1
Bust: 37"
Waist: 30"
Hips: 42.5"
Right Arm: 12.5"
Left Arm: 12.5"
Right Thigh: 25"
Left Thigh: 25"

I do have to say, even with my month of Couch to 5k, I've lost some inches (more like half and quarter inches).   Yesterday I went looking for summer clothes, as mine have gotten ginormous, and got to shop in the Juniors section of Kohl's for the first time since, like Jr. High :-D  It was a good moment.
