Fitness Adventures: Battle Log - Week 1

MY MAIN QUEST:  Over the next 6 weeks, I would like to healthly drop one size which is roughly about 10-15 pounds for me. In order to accomplish this, I plan to:
  • Stick to my diet (I am doing 4 Hour Body diet)
  • Go to the gym 4x a week (stretch/cardio every day and slowly add in weights)
  • Sleep a minimum of 7 hours a night.
MY SIDE QUEST
  • Read 10 books via audiobook, ebook and regular book. 2 of them need to be non-fiction because I tend to be more of a fiction girl and 2 need to be a classic because I tend to read newer stuff.

Saturday (Day 6):

MY SIDE QUEST (3/10 done) (1/2 classics) (0/2 Non-Fic)
  • I finished "Uglies" by Scott Westerfeld which I started on Monday (audiobook) [Don't recommend, by the way]
  • Finished Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary (Audiobook) by David Sedaris which was enjoyable.
  • Finished Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (Audiobook) which I *loved* and wished I had read sooner. So one classic down.
  • I have finished four chapters of "Bourne Identity" by Robert Ludlum (Kindle)
 End of the week recap:
  • Mostly good on the eating
  • One day short on the gym this first week
  • Met sleep goal on 6/7 days without a nap
  • On track for reading including having read one classic. I have another classic and a non-fiction that I should have from the library by Wednesday.
  • I also decided to talk a pic on Fridays with my cell phone for my battle logs
  • I have lost 5 pounds this week, but I think that is mostly water weight.
  • Measurements DECREASED by:
    • Waist - 1.5"
    • Hips - .5"
    • Bust - No change
    • Underbust - 1"

Don't "undo" the good you did by saying "It was mostly water weight." You did a great job! What was the APP you have? Is it on your phone or is it in a specific arm band thing?

Thank you. I bounce up and down 5 pounds all the time which why I was down playing it. I am using Jawbone's Up band with their app. I'm going to do a blog post next week about it.
