Today was a pretty good day. I had intended to go to the gym in the am, but didn't get much sleep over the weekend, so I slept in a little instead. The snowy weather didn't help my motivation much either! But here's what my day looked like :)
Breakfast:
Blueberry pancakes
Orange/pineapple/mango juice
Coffee with skim milk and sugar
Snack:
Cottage cheese & pineapple
Lunch:
Cranberry Turkey burger, let and tom in a whole wheat wrap
Banana
Snack:
Tzatziki & cucumbers
Preworkout:
Raisin oatmeal cliff bar
Workout:
2.5 miles on the treadmill
Leg press
Leg curls
Hour of yoga
Dinner:
Lemon garlic chicken with steamed asparagus
Overall a pretty good day :) I'm not going to lie though, I did sneak in a couple of lindts chocolate truffles :-0!

Measurements
So I really should have done this when I started this journey, but better late than never I suppose!
These measurements are from 2/21 but should still be pretty accurate, considering the last couple weeks I was sick & had some personal stuff going on that resulted in my slacking on the clean eating & dieting front.
Calf- 15"
Thigh- 23.5"
Hips - 41"
Waist - 29.5"
Abs - 36"
Torso - 38"
Neck - 13"
Arms - 11.5"
So I should probably clarify what some of these measurements mean, lest they be left up to incorrect interpretation.
Calf - measured around largest part of lower leg
Thigh - measured circumference of thigh 6 inches below where the leg meets the torso
Hips - measured around largest section of hips/butt
Waist - Measured around natural waist, right above the belly button. For me this has always been a small number, and what contributes to my hour glass figure :)
Abs - measured around my core one inch below my belly button (This is what I like to think of as my love handles. I'm less than thrilled that I have a 6.5" difference between this area and my natural waist :-/)
Torso - Measured around the largest part of my chest. (Anyone who knows me knows why the delta between this and my waist is so large ;-))
Neck- Measured around center of my neck, halfway btwn collar bone and chin
Arms- Distance around arm 2" from armpit
As far as my weight, I last clocked in at around 155, which is almost 10 lbs from where I've started :)
As previously mentioned I wish I had logged all of this from the very beginning, so that I knew exactly what my progress was. I did take pictures though, so even though I may not have exact calculations, I have a graphical representation of my changes, which I think is really where you can see the difference anyways :)

3/11
So I've gotten a little off track but Mexico is in little over a month so it's time to buckle down. I'm doing a 7 day slim down to jumpstart back into my diet, and I'll be doing twice a day at the gym at least 4 days a week. No more excuses.
