Singing again…
Well it’s been a huge week, I go on holiday next week for a week, so work has been absolutely crazy!!! It was a strange week were I did more short power walks than longer walks, I am curious if these faster paced but shorter walks will be as effective. Next week while I’m have some R and R I am going to give interval training a go, I will measure my self again on Monday and do 4 interval training workouts during the week then re measure on the following Monday. It will be interesting to see if there is a change in measurement ratio’s, over the last month I have lost the most size of my chest followed by my hips and lastly my waist.
One of the interesting comments made by one of the research scientist’s who worked on the interval training study was that they think this may be a way to target specific problem areas (spot reducing). There were no specifics given on how this would be achieved but it will be something I will keep looking out for, because as far as I’m aware there has never before been a study that has been able to demonstrate that spot reduction of a problem area of fat actually works.
I have posted before on the dangers of singing along with ones ipod, well it seems the universe has spoken! I was passing a major intersection and started singing along to Cody Chesnutt’s “I look good in leather” when the lights went out!!! Yep thats right the street lights went out as did the traffic lights, now the question is was it the thought of me dressed in leather or my singing that made the lights go out??? I’ll let you decide!!!
Now for my measurements for the week and again they went in the right direction - down.
- Chest went from - 136.5 cm / 53.5 inches to 134 cm / 52.7 inches
- Waist went from - 146 cm / 57.4 inches to 145 cm / 57.1 inches
- Hips went from - 145 cm / 57.1 inches to 143 cm / 56.3 inches
So the first month is finished and I have survived!!! Over all I have lost 16 cm or 6.2 inches. Unfortunately no weight measurement yet, but it is very close the scales now flashe between overload and a really big scary number but at least its thinking of a number now! I will probably get a few more posts in next week - how exciting - I think

Congratulations on surviving the first month of your new life! I’m sure if you look back to how you felt on those first few walks and compare them with your latest walks you can’t help but feel proud of yourself. Have a great week on R&R and keep up the good work.
