HYC Update Week 23

Happy Tuesday to all!

I was SO sure this would be a new bling week for me, but that blasted scale gave up a miserly 0.6 pounds, leaving me 0.2 lbs from 90! See, I *knew* I should've shaved my legs! (kidding, kidding. They're not that bad. ::shudder::)

Ah well, what are you gonna do? Cry about it?

Oh wait, tears have weight, don't they? Hmmm….Nah, they make me blotchy.

Big week for me this week on the fitness front. Friday is my one-year anniversary of working out with the Fitness Together folks (although I missed about two months of workouts for toe surgery and vacations) and we're going to do an assessment, the first one I've had since last September. (I'm holding onto a scant hope that there will also be cake to commemorate the occasion, but considering the look I got when I suggested it, I may have to wait until Cake Day, later this month.)

The assessment consists of a weigh-in, measurements of neck, shoulders, bust, waist, arms (upper and lower), hips, thighs and calves. Since my breasts are now located where my waist was and my waist slid down to the hip area, the results should be interesting. :)

Also in the assessment is a body fat reading, a resting heart rate and a post-cardio heart rate involving step-ups, push-ups, bench presses and a flexibility test. There might be other things I'm forgetting.

And an ultraslim possibility of cake.

Other than that, it will be another ordinary (and hot!) week for me. Hope you're all having a magnificent week! That's my wish for you, anyway.

Good luck on the assessment--I KNOW that you'll have some amazing results.

And, that 90 pound badge will be there next week I know. You are an awesome woman and you motivate me every time I read a post.

Thank you!

Wow, sounds like fun! LMAO about the migrating measurements though, how well I understand! :-)

You are so close to 90...that is amazing. You'll be there next week for sure, cake or no cake.

Now wait just dog gone a minute. You're that close to 90 and you want cake? Just kidding, I don't blame you. You work hard with your exercises and you deserve cake! I'm anxious to see how the assesment goes. Will you be sharing with us?

And you are NOT old enough for gravity to be working that hard on you. Come on now. Wait 'til you get to be my age.

Wow, 90 pounds... Amazing!! You're my inspiration!! I think after 90 pounds, you're gonna need a new set of skinny legs on the scale lol.

Funny how things MOVE around!!

I so relate to those shaky jelly legs after exertion! But it gets better every time you try. Step away from that number on the scale...that's just one measurement of your success and you know you're doing well!

That close to 90 pounds .... Congratulations.

You just wait: that fickle scale will drop a bunch of numbers here very soon, probably when you least expect it!

Besides, who cares what it says: you're AWESOME!

90 lbs! Wow - thats fabulous! Keep up all the hard work - it really does inspire slackers like myself to be accountable. :-)

You'll have that 90lb bling soon. You have done so much & come so far! You rock!

I love a fellow dieter who believes that one can always fit cake into a plan!

Sorry about the scale, you know next week that 90 will be there waiting for you.

You're absolutely right, the closer we get to our goal, the more difficult it will become. I once was told the last 10 pounds is the hard lard to remove. No kidding!

Best wishes.

So near yet so far...you do know how I feel!

Enjoy the assessment. It's always nice to get external validation of our efforts.

Isn't that how things sometimes work out? 2/10's of a pound away from 90?! HOW FRUSTRATING!!! Still, you're doing wonderfully, so keep it up! :D

Well, I'm positive your blog will be wearing new bling within a day or two.

Loved the tlc and scalp massage instructions.

Cake is a good way to celebrate:)

hmm not sure if my comment went through or not, so in the event it did not:

ohhh you are so close!! I know how you feel though. I was hoping for a loss to get me to my goal and it didnt happen. sometimes that darn scale just doesnt cooperate! you are doing great though and I know you will get there next time around.

Congratulations on the weight loss - that 90lb badge will definitely be there next week!!!

I just read through some of your entries and you are SO inspiring...

Although on the cake front - I think if I just SMELL it I gain weight! LOL

Good luck on your assessment!

Sometimes I think the scale knows what we want to see, and then messes with our heads, keeping us just below our goal.

Well, congrats on sticking out the year! I bet you'll have great results. 90 pounds is sooooo awesome, even if you are .2 away. :-)
