I took a couple of days off after the end of the Challenge, then got back in the saddle on Saturday morning. I enjoyed my first Sunday off, and then BOOM. All of a sudden, it was Monday morning.
It's a good thing Brook teaches on Mondays; knowing that she'll be there greatly lessens the temptation for me to skip class. She's that good.
And it was a good class. These days, going to the studio feels a little like going into Cheers; I love the community and chit chat and support.
Camel was more overwhelming than it has been for a long time, but I remembered what Brook had already said a couple of times: "Just breathe through what you're feeling. It's only temporary." This is a life lesson, one I won't forget anytime soon.
I realized that I didn't give any hard numbers when I made my Day 60 report, but today all of my Challenge material is due, so here's the deal. During the Sixty-Day Challenge:
- I lost seven pounds.
- I lost an inch off my chest.
- I lost 4.5 inches off my waist (at the navel).
- I lost 1.25 inches off my hips.
- My upper arm stayed the same, and I lost a half inch from my thigh.
Pretty good, eh? A little over seven inches all over. I'm sure younger people with working thyroids did better, but I'm happy for any progress in the right direction. Hopefully, it's just the beginning.
