Week 9 Recap and WEEK 4 RESULTS! :)

Oops!

Last week got the best of me. It was the last week of school, I was SO done with it all, so much so that I didn't even have the energy to blog during a free period. Oh well.

Now that school is over and summer camp has begun, things are looking up again! Heading to Malaysia in less than 2 weeks definitely helps :)

Another thing to be super psyched about is my 4 WEEK RESULTS. That's right. I completed my first 4 weeks of Turbo Fire, which means I had to do a weigh in, take my measurements and snap some more photos.

So where do I stand?

In the last 4 weeks I have lost a total of 8 pounds. Well, 7.7 pounds on a finicky scale. So I am obviously rounding. That's a total of between 1.6-1.8 pounds a week, which is fantastic! My goal was to lose an average of 1.5 a week, so I surpassed my goal. Granted, the first 7 pounds were lost in the first three weeks, with only a small loss during the 4th week, due to some circumstances that I won't get into here (I'm sure you can guess).

Along with the pounds, I lost a total of 3 inches from my waist, and a few other inches here and there for a combined loss of 7.5 inches.

While I don't have all of my measurements from March 1st (they're in a notebook at school locked in the teacher's room), I do know that I have lost a total of 9 inches from my waist since March. I still can't believe it, even though my waist is where I feel the difference the most. Still, 9 inches?!

Suffice to say I am pretty pumped about the results, especially since I wasn't too picky with my diet. I ate mostly clean, but in the last 4 weeks I definitely had splurge nights.

My first goal was to lose 10 pounds by Malaysia, and if I can just pull off losing around a pound a week for the next 2 weeks I'll be there!

Although I am super excited for Malaysia, it is causing some stress in regards to my progress. I will definitely be watching what I eat, and with all of the hiking and snorkeling I'll be doing I am not too worried about gaining. It's just hard to be in the middle of a fitness program to have to take 16 days off.

No worries, though. I have a plan for jumping right back in when I get back.

So my focus for the next two weeks is to eat super clean, push my exercises and even get a few extra walks in here and there.

Cheers to a successful first 4 weeks of Turbo Fire! 16 weeks to go :)
