Oh New Year's, We Have A Love Hate Relationship!

Obviously, the first round of "6-week health challenge," is over. What does that mean?

It means that I spent the following weekend partying rockin'. We went out with friends each night, had a delicious but HUGE New Year's Eve dinner and drank lots of champagne. Now, lets be honest now that we're blog friends, that means I probably put on 1 or 2 pounds in between the end of challenge 1 and beginning of challenge 2. But, I was celebrating!

When Monday rolled around the truth showed on the scale! I was at 169.something after drinking and eating delicious Japanese food. So my goal for this week was to get back to where I was at the end of the first challenge and maybe surpass that number. So, what happened?

Today I jumped on the scale and I was at 167.5 - the exact weight I was at after challenge 1. I'm going to guess that this is going to drop a bit more over the week since it's Lucky Lady's Week. If you know what I'm saying (John refuses to use the P word and we just say I'm sick.) I have a few fun facts to share with you today that John found for me when I didn't lose as much as I wanted one week.

Fun Fact #1 - If you poop once a day your body is retaining 6lbs of poop. If you poop every other day your body is retaining 9lbs of poop. That's a LOT!

Fun Fact #2 (GUYS MAY NOT WANT TO READ) - You can gain 2-5lbs during your period. Lovely huh? It's usually water weight and comes off, but still annoying.

Now - Even though my weight stayed the same this week, which was actually only 5 days (from the last challenge), I did still have Matt do my measurements and they have changed.




Round 2 Starting Stats:
Weight: 167.5
Neck: 12.25
Chest: 37.5
Waist 1: 33.75
Waist 2: 30
Hips: 44
Bicep: 12.25
Thigh: 25
Calf: 14
