Sunday bloody Sunday...

Wait... what? Bedtime? How the heck did that happen!? I don't have gym clothes together, I don't have lunches packed, heck I don't even have stuff FOR lunches (I've been severely lacking this past week. Naughty. Not eating enough, is almost as bad, and sometimes worse, than eating too much!). Time is flying a little too quickly for my liking right now.

As for the upcoming week of FitCamp, I'm going to be treating every day like a "Last Chance Workout" on Biggest Loser. I have 5 days of butt busting, before

a) I fly home to see family for the first time in a couple of years

b) I have to stand beside my stunning sister as she becomes a beautiful bride

c) I face my 10 year high school reunion, that will also likely contain my high school sweetheart/ex-fiance whom I haven't seen since we broke up over 8 years ago.

If EVER there was a reason to be working as hard as I can... it's got to be one of those reasons above. So this is the summary of the plan so far: Week 1 - Survival, Week 2 - Adjustment, Week 3 - Kick some serious buttooski.

I'm about to throw some number out to the cyberverse, but let me qualify the quantifiable - although these numbers still show forward progress, it's nothing compared to how I've been feeling, and apparently that's shown outwardly as well. Lately, I've run into a lot of people whom I haven't seen in a while, and their reactions have been rather glee-inducing. Those unsolicited compliments pretty much instantly erase the memories of aches, pains and exhaustion. It's then that you realize it's all worthwhile. But here are the numbers anyway :)

Weight: 146lbs (Same - but much leaner!)
Waist: 32.5 inches (-0.5in)
Hip: 37.5 inches (-0.5in)
Chest: 38 inches (-1.5in)
Bicep: 12 inches (Same - but there's a bump now!)
Thigh: 22.5 inches (-0.5in)
Calf:15 inches (same - two weeks in a row. Apparently I need to start jumping more!)

Change this week: -3 inches/0 pounds
Total Change: -7 inches/1 pound

Nothin' to shake a stick at, but still lots of shrinking/strengthening/stamina-ing left to do. Also continuing to focus on the fact that muscle does weight more than fat, so the way my clothes fit, is more important than the number between my toes in the morning.

This week brings a lot to look forward to - 5 more fantastic work-outs, a visit from an Olympian (more on that soon), and a single digit countdown to a cross country journey. I love it when a plan comes together!

Now, time for some Z's, while visions of LMFAO dance through my head, reminding me that someday - I'll be sexy... and I'll know it. Darn their catchy and appropriate tune.

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle... YEAH!
