I’ve been ill the past week with a myriad of ails – abdominal pain and sore throat and headache – so it’s been a strange week for me. But I woke up yesterday morning feeling significantly better! Felt like running around outside a bunch (I’m assuming because I’ve been so sedentary the last few days?), but I’m taking it slow. Don’t want to overdo things.

Midway check-in time!
Weight: 123.8 lbs (down 2.4 lbs in five weeks)
Waist at smallest point: 29″ (down .25 inches)
Hips at largest point: 36.75″ (down .25 inches)
Waist-to-hip ratio: somewhere between 0.78 and 0.79. I’m going to go with no change here.
Body fat: 25.4% (down 0.6% body fat)

Based on my initial goals, I have 7.6 lbs, 1 inch around the waist, 2.4% body fat, and 1.6 points on the BMI scale to go in the next four and a half weeks. Nothing has changed much in the past two weeks. But that’s okay – progress is still being made, albeit slowly!

Activity: Had planned to go for a walk today but ended up doing a bunch of house work stuff, and then it was 5pm. No exercise for me today!
