you're on a role core elements!!!! you must be so psyched about ur progress!

btw-the amount of work you have to do sounds kind of chaotic. it must feel pretty damn satisfying to be able to continue with your workouts despite having no time- AND kids to care for! how old are they?

Glad to hear ur supervisor is back
 
Sooo stoked nightrunner!

Our clinic is in a gym .. and my workouts are scheduled into my working day. It's just prioritizing elements of our life I think. It certainly helps that the gym is right there, but there are times laziness sets in for sure.

Kids are teenagers now .. so slightly self-sufficient unless it has to do with laundry and real meals.

Hi core elements. I am also guilty of reading your diary and not commenting. But let me take this opportunity to say I admire your motivation. Your diary is one of the few diaries here that totally keeps me motivated too. Way to go.

You must be soooo looking forward to that vacation. I hope the next three weeks fly by...

Will drop by more regularly and say hi more often now. :) Have a good week.

Didn't realize it'd been 5 days since I last posted!

As of this morning:

Weight: 125.5 (down from 128)
Chest: 34.25 (down from 36)
Waist at BB: 28 (down from 29)
Hips: 35.25 (down from 36)

I'll get my bodyfat tested on Friday to see the changes.

The one thing I am struggling with right now is enough water. My skin's been incredibly dry and it seems as though I've got some water retention in my legs. So that's something I've been increasing over the past few days. Trying to get close to 3 liters daily.

Packing is done and off on a plane tomorrow morning!

Ya, the weather here hasn't been to kind to us has it. Where the hell did summer go? We got scammed this year I think.

Starting stats:

Weight: 128
Bodyfat: 22% (28.1 lbs)

6 weeks later ..

Weight: 125
Bodyfat: 18% (22.5 lbs)

Chest: 34 (down from 36, total 2 inches lost)
Waist at BB: 27.5 (down from 29, total 1.5 inches lost)
Hips: 35 (down from 36, total 1 inch lost)

Hopefully I'm able to maintain some restraint while on vacation! Thankfully I have access to workout equipment daily so that will definitely be on the agenda.
