Operation: Bring Healthy Back (Fitness Challenge) Week 3
Here's my end-of-the week update for my Personal Fitness Challenge. If you didn't get a chance to read my previous 2 posts on this series, and would like to read them, here are the links: Week 1 and Week 2. But here's also a quick recap.. :)
I recently started this personal fitness challenge about 5 weeks ago and decided to blog about it to keep me motivated and it's also an added effort to hold myself accountable to my goals.
My numbers, so far have been really promising. My goal is to lose at least 1-lb a week from watching what I eat and working out. So far, so good!

This past week, my husband and I started going to this new gym near our place, which happens to be right across from our kids' school. It works out well because we can easily go before we have to pick them up from school in the afternoon.
The new gym also has this pretty neat weighing scale that can calculate your body fat and muscle mass. So this is what I got when I weighed myself last Thursday:
edited to add description of data.
As you can see, I have a long way to go, but I'm determined to get there!

Go push yay! I always have a hard time sticking to a workout regimen because i don't really keep track of my progress... and i love eating much more than working out hahaha. Keep up the awesome work @jazzybells.
Thanks for the support @sasha.shade! :)
Go go go! :)
Thanks Zara! <3
Looks very good! It is more real when u actually keep track and see the numbers changing from week to week. At this pace, u might meet your 1 year goals in only 6 months! then maybe u can be one of shuan T's squad! :P
Yeah, the numbers are encouraging
Keep feeling good in your journey
