The year in review

Some good, some bad, some mediocre... It absolutely should have been better, and I refuse to use the lame it could be worse excuse... I got my work cut out for me in 08... Not a problem.

January 2007/January 2008
Weight 273/189
BMI 40.6/27.9
Bust 49.5/41 (-8.5)
Waist 41/33 (-8)
Hips (49/39 (-10)
Neck 15.5/13.5 (-2)
Thigh 26.5/22 (-4.5 x2 )
Calf 21/17 (-5 x2)
Upper Arm 17/13 (-4 x2)
Forearm 13/9 (-4 x2)
Wrist 8/6.5 (-1.5 x2)

Total of 64.5 inches
Total of 84 lbs ( I really really really wanted to break 100lbs again this year and had I not gotten stuck in my head for so long - I would have... lesson learned I suppose)

 
(which really is not pleasing to me as my weight hasn't changed much since October and it's all my own doing... Lost focus and stagnated... )

Sizes
Jeans 22/12
Top 24/16
Bra 42DD/36DD

Blood Pressure
Jan 07 140/90 resting pulse 79
Jan 08 110/70 resting pulse 71

ASCM Fitness Tests
Rockport 1 mile test
19 minutes/13.48 minutes (still am not running but it's an improvement, just not enough)

Sit an Reach test
Jan 07 - 11"which rates a poor
Jan 08 - 14" which rates a fair, but barely

Lower body strength
Wall Squat
Jan 07 - 12 seconds - which rates a poor
Jan 08 - 31 seconds -which barely rates a fair

Crunches
Jan 07 - 0 which is a poor
Jan 08 - no change at all -

Push Ups
Jan 07 - 0 which is a poor
Jan 08 - no change at all -

I had my personal victory on 07 so I imagine that I can pull off pushups or crunches in 08...

There are pics from Jan 07 in my gallery, which is a good reminder how far I've come -this whole satisfaction thing is a tough one -I know I should have done so much better...

and happy new year...
