Transformation Tuesday 9/30 - Quick Update

As a quick way to record how things are going, I thought I'd do a mini-Transformation Tuesday post. No pictures this time, but I will keep up with those every 30 days :)

I will make a note that I actually haven't lost as much as I would have hoped since my 30 day check in. I sprained my back and actually had to quit working out for 2 weeks while it healed. I know success is only 20% exercise, but I also know I have a slow metabolism. With my one and only cheat day I've had so far being a trip to the state fair during the 2 week hiatus, it was not the best combination. Without that kick start for my metabolism with exercising, I had a feeling things would slow. Now I am able to use my workout DVD again, but I am substituting a different move so I don't hurt my back again. Hopefully my back will be 100% again soon! Once I finish my current workout DVD, then do 6 weeks with one more, I will most likely start doing C25K again.

With all that said, here's my transformation:

Starting Weight: 239.8
Current Weight: 227.0  (12.8 lbs lost)

I am almost to my first goal with a reward! When I hit 15 pounds, I get a pedicure :) Hopefully I can get there soon!
