A third through the year...

We are almost  out of the season of the year where I struggle the most i.e. winter.  I love winter for the following reasons: My bday, Christmas, and Thanksgiving but I absolutely cannot stand the cold, the gray clouds, the constant precipitation whether it be freezing rain, snow, or ice.  The sun will be hiding for weeks and lack of Vitamin D is 100% not good for me.  I am overall lethargic and wish to just hibernate.

Traditionally, this is the season where I put on weight, cuddle underneath the covers, and work from home as much as possible.

I am trying to work on these habits, but you know... I'm human.  I know, surprise, surprise.

Needless to say, I really have not worked out in the past 30 days (think pre-wedding).  I just got on the bike yesterday for the first time for two hours, and did calisthenics this AM.

Amazingly, my inches have stayed approx the same but my weight is constantly fluctuating on this scale I just bought.  It's that time of month so I need to figure out what is happening but this is just confirming that the scale is not the best tool to measure progress.  Inches and the way your clothes look and feel I think are the better bet.  I was definitely bloated a couple days ago, but since then my inches in my lower waist line have gone down 2.5, middle waist .5 and upper waist(right under bust) has stayed the same.

With that said, I think I've lost quite a bit of muscle tone do the sedentary month I've just had (and let's be honest, I've been off and on this year so far) although a friend seems to think I look more firm.  

In the last 48 hours, I've lost an inch in my hips.

The goal is to go very hard core and drastic with the workout routines this week.  I fly to LA on Saturday so definitely looking forward to more outdoorsy activities.

While I have not been working out, I have had some fun times out partying...

Wouldn't you like to know...
