Today is New Year's Eve, which means that I have survived another full year of working out and eating well. In the past 12 months I have missed only 2 planned workouts, but added several incremental workouts, so on balance, I am probably ahead of the game, all things considered.
It's been a difficult Q4, so I am going to look back on all the wins that I have achieved this year.
First and most motivating, I have lost 51.5 pounds over the last year. Although this is less than I had hoped in the summer, considering how badly things fell off the rails in Q4, I will take this result, thank you very much. About a pound a week is nothing to sneeze at.
Let's look at the measurements, shall we?
I am down more than 2.5 feet in girthiness compared to last year at this time, and more than 5' in lost inches since I have started working out. That means a change from a size 26 when I started, down to a size 20 last year, and now down to a size 12.
In the past year I have really settled into my elliptical routine, but I have added more weights and, recently, a treadmill for running training. Today I had my 5th C25K session, and although I still don't think I am actually running, I am shuffling much faster than I ever would have thought.
I an creeping ever closer to my goals:
Still recouping past losses, but I finished the year strong. Let's hope I can keep these positive trends going.
