Amanda's Final Assessments

Last Friday was our final assessment day. This is the day that it all came down to. Final weigh in, and final measurements, and final chance to see how far we have come with our workouts!

I woke up in the morning feeling fat. I ate out the night before because my husband's family was leaving for Haiti on missions trip with our church, and I am pretty sure the

excess sodium was stuck to my butt. I got ready and put on my clothes. I had cheer shorts on from when I was in high school

and a pink sports bra (funny thing about the sports bra, when we took our before pictures, I didn't have on a sports bra... so when you see how many inches I lost in my boobs, yea thats not accurate, because if I lost that many inches, I am pretty sure I would have holes.)

I looked in the mirror and thought to myself, ok what can I do to make this the best picture ever... lol ya I did it, I did like 10 sit ups. Crazy I know.... even when I was doing them, I was laughing at myself. I thought I

could tighten up those muscles so maybe I would have like a 2 pack, sitting on a tire of course.

It gets crazier, THEN I thought... hmm when is the last time I went to the bathroom (number 2) Maybe that will drop another .4 lbs. (I am weird about even .2 lbs). No luck there.

THEN.... I didn't eat breakfast (that would add the .4 lbs back on that I didn't lose from taking a crap). I also knew we wouldn't be doing any crazy workouts so I figured I would be fine.

So I got to the studio and weighed in.

138.4 - :( I was up 1.2 lbs. Maybe all my craziness made my body say, ummmm no your not gunna try to lose weight in the 30 minutes before weighing in.... so there, that will teach ya a lession! I think it also may be because my Aunt that visited a few weeks ago, was supposed to be coming again. :(

Total weight loss: 10.2 lbs. I am so proud of myself for losing that weight. I never thought this was possible, and now I know that it is. :)

Here are my before and after measurements... again disregard the chest measurement.

Chest 35.5 32.5 8%

Waist 29 28 3%

Hips 41.5 40.5 2%

Thigh 24.5 23.5 4%

Arm 11 10.5 5%

And here is my workout assessment:

Jump Rope 0:20 1:15 73%

Bicep Curls 22 40 45%

Plank 0:49 1:31 46%

Push Ups 8 28 71%

Sit Ups 16 23 30%

Squats 31 49 37%

Side Bridge 0:32 1:22 61%

My overall percentage of change was 394% YAY!!!!!

Now, I AM going to post my before and after pictures, but let me tell you... I had NO idea that I looked the way I looked on my before pics, seriously if I knew my back looked like that I would have laid off the oreo's for sure. I am so happy with my after results, but DANG.... I am embarrased even looking at before pictures! Oh well, I told myself I would be honest with this blog so here goes:
