May Update!

So a few weeks ago the Biggest Loser competition I was competing in finished, and I won! I lost a total of 23.4 pounds which was a total of 11.48%! Not only did I lose 23 pounds, but I will gain about 300 dollars. Not everyone has paid, but I plan on sending out an email soon to those who haven't. I've got some pretty big plans for that money. I'm going to buy an iPod touch and then put the rest either into rent or I'm going to look into a calories burner counter. I'm pretty excited.

I'm still doing Zumba and loving it! I'm so excited for this summer because it opens up some of my nights that I usually don't get to Zumba. Went to Zumba at St. Anthony's today, and that place has no air. It was so hot, and that's the most I've sweated in years! I felt like I was going to get sick a few times from the heat. But I felt good. And Janey announced that we are starting an "inches lost" competition, and since we braved the heat we already got a 1 inch lead over everyone else! I had her measure me today so I can compete in the competition. Here's my measurements lost so far.

.............................................3/29.......... 4/18.......... 5/14.......... 5/29 (start of inches lost competition)
Left Arm........ 12.5............ 11.5.......... 11.5.......... 11.5.............. 11.5
Right Arm...... 12.5............. 12............. 12........... 11.25............. 11.5
Chest............... 45.............. 43.5......... 43.5........... 45.................. 43
Under............ 39.5............. 37.5......... 37.5.......... 37.25............. 37.5
Waist............... 39.............. 36.5.......... 36.............. 36................ 35.5
Gut................. 42.5............ 40.5....... 40.25........... 40................. 40
Hips................. 45.............. 43.5.......... 42............ 42.75.............. 43
Left Leg.......... 25.............. 24.5........ 24.5............. 24............... 23.25
Right Leg........ 25.............. 24.5........ 24.5............ 24.5............... 23

So so far I've lost about 17.75 inches! And that's from March-ish till now.

It is starting to get tougher though. I'm not being as strict on myself about not eating what's not good for me or making sure I exercise every day. But I think this competition will help me get back into it. The winner gets 2 cards (which are used for Zumba work outs and is valued at 70 dollars, and a shirt of our choice off the Zumba web site.

In other news. I've got a fairly big week ahead of me. Tonight we're playing sand volleyball with the Hacienda crew. Tomorrow Jase and I are going to Holiday World with Katie bug and her boyfriend and a few of their friends. Then Tuesday Jase and I are going to look at apartments and then we both work. Then on Wednesday we're hopefully going to meet with my parents to talk about wedding things. I also work all week (except tomorrow) so I'll probably pull another 40+ hour week like I did this week.
