Operation Sexy Bitch – Month End Results!! Photos and WHAT’S NEXT!

Hello ALL!! 

So the official 30 day challenge is over!  I’ll be extending Operation Sexy Bitch, but I think I’ll keep my blogging to something specific I want to share, and then a once a week catch up.  I’ll also post the best and worst day I had over the last week!  That way you aren’t bombarded with posts, but I’m still staying accountable to you and myself on this interesting mission I’m on.

Let’s get it GOING!

This week I lost ANOTHER 2 INCHES!!  My OSB MONTH LONG GRAND TOTAL is 15.5 inches!!!  WOOHOO!!!  Most of it is in my abs and hips, which is right where I wanted to lose it, so I’m ok with that!!   Total weight loss is 3.5 pounds, which I’m also ok with considering the difference I’m seeing in my body! 

Workout total for the month is 2,329 minutes of workout time for a total calorie burn of…  holy crap!  17,558!!!

This has been an interesting journey, and I’m learning to balance some of my nutrition more completely thanks to the Sparkpeople page (and friend suggestions), as well as get the workouts in as early as I can to fit my lifestyle, moods, and energy levels.  I’ve seen such a tremendous change in my body, and in such a short time, that I not only am motivated to continue this, but I’m now realizing my body has been BEGGING me to do it!  It’s WANTED to change, and push itself, and test it’s limits.  I’ve had knee issues, time issues, social issues… This whole experiment is like taking a slice of my life, working on finding the balance in it, and watching the other pieces fall into place.  They haven’t all clicked yet, but I see the wheels turning, and I”m excited for this new ride!! 

A friend suggested I take before and after photos- even if I didn’t share them- but I think I will (Thanks Phil!).  The green shorts is on day 2 or something, and the red shorts is day 30!

 

It’s not like I worked any miracles, and it may sound like that from the numbers.  So I want you to see the realistic side.  I can feel how much tighter my abs are, and I can see so much more definition that I had a hard time capturing on film, but who cares!  I know it’s there!  You can tell how much ‘softer’ I was before.  Remember where I came from though, please.  This time last year I couldn’t SEE my belly button….  Well hell, I might as well add those pictures as well.

Ok, I better wrap this up pretty quickly before I lose my nerve! (OMG OMG!)

Thank you all for helping me on this first part of my latest journey!  So very many of you helped me through my previous journeys and I can’t NOT stop and thank you SO MUCH for that support as well!!!  I’m taking a hiatus for a week to head to San Diego, but I’ll be in full swing again next Tuesday!  I expect a short blog or two from some sort of beach with a nice frosty adult beverage in my hand between now and then, but most likely I won’t be logging a lot of my food since this is my vacation! 

I’m so glad to know so many of you are ‘Shredding Across the Nation’ with me- HA HA!  And I know a few of you have joined Sparkpeople as well.  It’s an amazing tool, and maybe we can all support each other in this journey for the perfect balance and healthy life!!

Now on to PHASE TWO of Operation Sexy Bitch!
