TDT (Trim Down Tuesdays)

OK, I'm working through the days of the weeks and deciding what I will blog about on each day...

Tuesday is going to be "Trim Down Tuesdays". Every Tuesday is my personal weigh-in day but I'm been really bad about losing the final 10lbs so I'm challenging myself for the next 5 weeks, 35 days to "trim down". This morning I took my measurements and took before pictures... let's see how I progress over the next 5 weeks. My challenge will be some kind of active activity every day (probably a workout video or really long hike) and eating appropriate for my medical conditions of PCOS w/ insulin resistance and gluten intolerance... I'm also still nursing so dairy free for Isaac. Also, watching my portions since I'm pretty sure I'm eating too much food... I LOVE food!

OK, coming out of my shell to post some not so flattering pictures but I can't wait to see what I look like in 5 weeks.




My measurements:
arms 11"
chest 39"
waist 34"
hips 39"
thighs 23"
weight 140lbs

That bra look super supportive! Where did you get it?

Losing weight is always a challenge, and those last ten pounds just LOVE to cling to the hips...especially with baby weight. Drat it! You're looking great! Good luck with the additional weightloss and getting toned up!

I've found walking (briskly) to be GREAT exercise. Here where we live (big City) we've given up using our cars except for getting to work and the kids to school (part of the going to work routine)...the rest of the time we are walking or using public transit if the walk is too long for little legs...but mostly walking. the whole family is looking great as a result! Good luck to you! :D

p.s. what kind of a camera is that you're shooting with??? *extremely curious about the camera*

I shoot with a Nikon D50 and 99% of the time use a 50mm f1.4 prime lens
