Week 12 Weigh-in ...ACK!

So here I am. Bowing my head humbly before you. The last three weeks have been DISASTEROUS! However I am now WELL! So Dan decided I needed a new starting point and wanted to measure me. Needless to say it was a DISAPPOINTMENT! Dan told me that my results weren't good OR bad. They just are what they are. I couldn't help that I got ill, but I can help what I'm going to do about it now.

So I took that and ran with it. Literally. Yesterday Rachel and I went on a walk out in the middle of nowhere. There was a hill coming up that had a steep curve to it. Seeing as there were no sidewalks I was concerned and wanted to get it over with since we had our children with us. The idea of some vehicle slamming into a stroller was not sitting well with me... so I suggested a quick jog?!

"SURE!" She says and off we go in our levi's and granny panties. I say this because jogging unprepared is painful when you have "assets" like me. Needless to say I came out of that quick sprint with more than just a weggie. HA!

Lungs burning, calves flexing, heart pounding we came to the top of that hill with an angry vengence.

The biggest realization I had during our 20 second jog was this: MY BUTT JIGGLED AGAIN!

"See it wiggle, watch it jiggle." That was me. I apologize to the old man with the crazy hair who drove by in his old truck. I think I saw him gouge his eye balls out as he was passing me by.

Or maybe that never happened and I was gouging out my own eyes?

Perhaps we'll never know but what a SAD moment it was for me. I was so proud of my tight butt. Did it really turn to jelly so quickly? Well- according to the numbers, yes it did.

So my results: (I know that Dan had said I won't hit a plateau if I'm doing everything he says... however I am calling THIS a plateau! lol!!)

I gained .25 in. on my neck. (swollen lymph nodes)

I gained.... .75 in. on my waist. UGH UGH UGH. BITTER ANGRY FEELINGS TO THAT STUPID GUT OF MINE!

AND sniff. I gained .25 in. on my thigh.

All in all I guess it's safe to say I gained a bit back due to the lack of exercise. This week I'm trying to work my way back up. It's a process and yes I may have deterred from the path- but the journey goal is still the same.

I WILL COME OUT ON TOP!

To prove that I can do anything... even if I'm ill or just not talented I've included a video from this weekend. I am the taller on beginning on the left, and Rachel Olsen (Dan's wife) is the smaller woman on the right.

If I can do THIS in a gym full of people... I really can do anything!
