FXB finale!

I'm going to just copy and paste from my Facebook post to avoid retyping this whole darn thing:

Alright folks! The results are in!!! My second five week numbers look like this:
-Lost 4 pounds
-Lost 6.5% body fat
-Lost 1/2" in my waist
-Lost 3.5" in my arm
-Lost 2" in my thigh
-Gained 19 push-ups, for a total of 70 in one minute
-Gained 1 sit-up (we had a brutal abs day in class BEFORE testing), for a total of 25
-Gained 1" in the sit & reach, for a total of 16"
-Shaved 11 seconds off my 1/2 mile power walk: 8min 30sec

Grand totals:
-lost 13.2 pounds
-lost 3/4" off my chest
-lost 6" off my waist
-lost 3.25" off my arm
-lost 1" off my thigh
-lost 3.5" off my hips

If I can do THIS in ten weeks, imagine what I can do in a year!


I think I did pretty well and am very proud of myself for sticking with it!  I have already paid for another year and am excited to continue.  Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the finale party because I had purchased VIP concert tickets for Jennifer Nettles months ago, but the concert was AWESOME, so I'm not sorry I went!  I would have loved to have seen everyone's transformation photos and had drinks with the people who have been kicking, punching and sweating their asses off along side me.


In closing, let me post a few pics from the concert.  We had second row center tickets and it was amazing!

I thought I already commented on this, but I don't see it so I'm going to do it again because I just have to SAY OUT LOUD HOW AWESOME YOU ARE!!

You are amazing!! Seriously, I am just so impressed with how awesome you did at this. You kept going and going and going and now look at those results. 3.5" in the arm?! I would love to lose 3.5" in my arm - goodbye Grandma swing!!

I am also incredibly impressed with the 70 pushups in one minute. I don't even thinK I could do 20 in a minute on my best day. I'm curious about what a sit and reach is and what is the purpose of that measurement? Is it to determine balance and/or flexibility?

These are really some incredible results and I'm very very proud of you!!
