Summer Slim Down Final Results

So who plans a girls getaway trip to Vegas for two days at the very end of my Summer Slim Down??? Yup, that would be me. Holly and I spent Sunday and Monday in Vegas. We went with our kickboxing instructor Michelle though if that counts for anything. We had a great time! We sat by the pool at Planet Hollywood, had dinner at a Japanese place, and danced until 1:30am! The strip has changed so much. In case you are wondering, the odd man that stuck his face in the picture is Chris, Michelle's husband,  who leaned in at the last minute, but Holly and I like the picture of us so much so I had to post it. Chris and Michelle are wonderful people and they did a great job of planning a trip with 40 something people on a bus to Vegas. We had fun guys! I told you I would put you on the blog Chris! That's what you get for leaning in : ) 

  The morning that we left Holly and I walked to some other hotels and we asked a stranger to take our picture. My eyes are closed....but oh well. 

SUMMER SLIM DOWN

So for those of you that know, I started a 5 week program of circuit training  with a trainer named Travis. He taught me a lot as far as weights and resistance is concerned. I would like to take the exercises that he did with us and use them but it is always easier when you have somebody telling you and correcting your form. That is probably what I like about kickboxing....Michelle yells at me and pushes me. So much easier to push on when somebody is in your face! A lot of you have been asking me about kickboxing and I want to say that Michelle just started the INSANITY program at home with her husband. Have you seen the infomercial???? Well, she is three weeks in and she is incorporating so much of that program into kickboxing. It is INSANE. Last night was the worst. Very hard movements and I was dripping just like the people do on the commercial. Ok, on to business. I will say that I was hoping for a little more but here it goes.

Starting Weight =   146.2      Ending Weight= 142.6             Total Loss = -3.6 pounds

Waist = 32 inches to 31.5 inches                                               Waist Down .5 inch

Hips =   38.5 inches to 37.75 inches                                          Hips Down .75 inch

Thighs = 22 inches to 20.75 inches                                            Thighs Down 1.25 inches

Biceps = 11 inches to 11.25 inches                                            Biceps Up .25 inch

I will say, I feel much stronger and more importantly, it was fun to workout with Holly and try something new. I had a feeling the arms would go up because of the weights but that is a good thing because it means more definition. I wish I could go for another session but I told Travis he is a little out of my price range!

The kids...oh yes...my darlings. No pictures of them this week. Tennis classes are going great. They start the next session of tennis next week and then the week after they begin two weeks of swim lessons. Busy busy!
