12 week challenge!!

Today I am beginning a 12 week challenge with myself!! Technically this challenge will end on a day that I'm at Disney so I'll have to post my results the day that I leave...so really it's an 11 week and 6 day challenge. But that's OK!!!

I give myself 12 weeks (roughly 3 months) to lose the last of my weight =)

Here are my starting statistics:

Weight: 134.8 -- I've technically only gained less than 5 lbs but it feels so SO much more! 5 lbs really makes a difference
Goal Weight: 120!
           --I am going to get there, this isn't an option this time. I have so many events coming up this next year that I want to feel confident and look good for-- my roommates wedding (bridesmaid!), my boyfriend's graduation from USAFA (so many dinners and events leading up to it) and hopefully my own wedding eventually-- he still has to propose

These are my measurements!

Calf- 13.5"
Inch above knee- 15"
Thigh- 22"
Hips- 38"
Stomach- 35"
Waist- 27.5"
Chest- 34.25"
Arms- 11.5"

Starting photos! Sorry for the poor picture quality, my apartment doesn't have overhead lighting and these are obvs taken with my iphone. And yes, I'm dressed in my workout gear because I do indeed intend to go workout in about an hour.

Outside? No. Outside is a frozen tundra death trap that I just don't feel like facing. I'll be tough some other day, today I just want to get a run in and not get frost bite.

The view from my window. The picture doesn't even do it justice, it's snowing and the winds are about 25 mph and it's 19* F but it feels like 4* F.

But this month (month 1) I will be strictly focusing on cardio, to get my weight loss jump started and so that I won't get overwhelmed by my workouts. Next month I'm going to add in my own weight training on the machines around the gym, twice a week. Then month 3 I will start going to the weight lifting classes that are at my gym (they are crazy intense!!)

So that's my plan, off to digest my breakfast and then go for a run on the treadmill.
