WLJ: All about the arms

Each month, I try to adopt a new fitness challenge.  It helps shake things up a little and keeps me from getting lazy or bored.  Or at least it's supposed to.  When I stick with it...

In April, my goal was simply to get moving.  

This was easy as I was heavy into my Zumba classes and starting to get outside and run.

And my twitter group was amazing.

In May, I tried to base my workouts on the Rangers' box scores.  

I was not so good at this.  Or rather, the Rangers were too good for me.

Their performances were giving me 150 reps on a regular basis.

I just couldn't do it.

In June, I took on a Mean Abs workout.  

I only made it to June 15 before I gave up.  Ick.

Also, I sucked at almost all the other goals listed there too.

So what am I going to do in July?  Well, I've decided to target the part of my body that is the weakest and the one of which I am most self-conscious --- my arms.

I turned to Pinterest and found this workout:

I think it's doable.

Hopefully, it'll help me get Michelle Obama arms.

Also, someone asked me if I had measured myself lately.  I hadn't.  Not in a long time.  So I fixed that.  During this weight-loss journey, I've lost:

8 inches off my waist

6 inches off my hips

4 inches off my bust (boo!)

0 inches off my arms

2 inches off my thighs

4 dress sizes

See ... my arms really do need it.  

Do you have a target area?  What's your plan?

Weight-loss goal: 40 lbs.

This week's progress: -1 lbs.

Progress to date: -27.8 lbs.

Non-scale victory: I'm not sure about this one this week.  Hmm.
