Today marks EXACTLY one month into the “2019 Weight Loss Challenge” here on my ONLINE FITNESS JOURNAL.
I’ve mentioned before how MUCH I advocate using the tape measure to asses your progress, and TODAY is a perfect example of why…
My goal was to lose 10 lbs a month across 12 weeks for this challenge, and I really thought I was going to make it, but this morning the scale showed that I only lost 6.8 lbs this whole month!
It was a huge let down UNTIL I got to the tape measure.
The tape measure showed that I actually lost 15″ inches! Take a look…

WEIGHT LOSS
LOSS OF INCHES ASSESSED BY MEASURING TAPE
TOTAL INCHES LOST = 15″ INCHES
I’m keeping to a 1200 calorie Paleo type eating plan and drinking one gallon of water a day. I’m also getting 30-45 min of cardio approx 5 days a week along with toning exercises, alternating LOWER BODY; UPPER BODY or MIDSECTION using (for the most part) my body’s own weight as resistance. I also drink a quality protein shake within one hour of my cardio, and to shorten my recovery time I take L-Carnitine & Fucoidan.
