Week 1 Done, On to Week 2!

Hey y'all!

 Week one of PiYo is DONE! I did skip most of Align because I was just ready to jump in. In hindsight, I maybe should have done Align because after the first 3 days, I was SORE. But it is what it is. I pushed through! I even did most of the routines without modifiers. The things I will probably (maybe?) always modify are push-ups and burpees. I'm too old and out of shape to be jumping up and down into a burpee. And let's be real, I would probably pee myself. HA! (Pelvic Floor Therapy is on my list of things to talk to my PCP about).

Anyway, Here are my week 1 measurements, weigh in, and photos!

Weight: 173.8lbs
Neck: 14.5" (+0.5)
Chest: 39.5" (-0.5")
Waist: 34.5" (-0.5")
Hips: 40" (-0.5")
Bicep: 11.5" (0)
Thigh: 23"
Calf: 13.75" (-0.25")

LBS Lost: -1.6
Total inches lost: -1.25




I wasn’t going to show these (below) but I think the progress speaks for itself. I've noticed some thinning in my stomach, hips, and thighs. I'm really happy with the progress. I cannot wait to see how I change as this program goes on! 

Left: Today (173.8lbs) Right: Oct 6th (194.2lbs) Difference: -21.4lbs




I wanna see your progress too! How did this week treat you? How many weeks in are you?? What are you working on? Tell me all about it in the comment section! I wanna hear from you!

Hey! I'm Traci!

Hey y'all! I'm Traci! Here is the typical bio on me.  I am 36 years old and the  wife to an amazing man, Phil. You'll meet him when he does his intro post and video! He made my awesome video. Thanks baby!!  I am, also, the mama to 5 growing boys. Yup, FIVE! They range from an almost teenager to infant.  This blog will be our space to document our journeys from this point forward.  Here's a little about what I've been through so far. The video is a quick snippet of what I've done so far. I truly began this journey when my last baby was born 8 months ago, TODAY! I am down almost 60lbs and now am focusing on my mental and physical health! My next post will outline my plans for 2020! I can't wait to share my journey with you all! 

February is here!

Hey everyone!     It’s been two-ish weeks since my last post. Here is what’s happening with me. I quit working out. I’ve been stressed and while working out is a great stress relief, it was what had to be cut because I was getting angry when the kids would disrupt or prevent me from being able to do it. Emotional stress has been running rampant and so it’s triggered some of my binge eating habits to come back but I’m working on those still. Binge eating carrots is still binge eating lol! While they’re far less calories than say M&Ms or chips, it’s still enabling the habits I’m trying to break. My weight has fluctuated a lot. I got down to 171.6lbs at one point but went up to almost 174lbs again during this time.  I am happy to report that this morning I weighed in at 171.0lbs and am working to drop the last 6lbs by the end of February and then I am going to focus on just changing our lifestyle. We’re going to slowly do more Paleo style eating and I am going to tr...

Measurements & Before

Before I even begin the program again, I wanna post my before photos and measurements so I have them. These were all taken the morning of January 12th.  Weight: 175.2 lbs Neck: 14” Chest: 40” Waist: 35” Hips: 40.5” Bicep: 11.5” Thigh: 23” Calf: 14” Some personal goals of mine would be to reduce the midsection and fupa, but I know those will forever be a “problem” area since I’ve had 5 children. Honestly, being able to wear pants without any muffin top would be phenomenal! I would love to tone my arms, chest, shoulders, butt and thighs. Speaking of butt, where did mine go?! Why is it when you lose weight, you lose it in the places you don’t wanna lose?! 😂😂 So my butt needs some muscle so it comes back at least a little bit.  Today is day one of PiYo Strength! Wish me luck!
