More progress :D

Here it is...more progress pictures, from the back. Hahaha I went to a wedding on Saturday and (obviously) wore the same red dress that I wore out for my friend's birthday in April. It was about a month and a half between the two pictures. Although the picture is dark, you can see that my back/waist is still continuing to slim down. The roll in my back on the left is less prominent (hooray!) and as I was looking at myself in the mirror of the bathroom at the church, I noticed how loose my dress looked from the back. From the front it was looking tighter, but that could be attributed to the bra I was wearing (notice that it isn't the purple one?). Soo yeah. I'm ecstatic. It's so nice to see that I'm still making progress because I feel like I've fallen off the wagon and I'm working to get back on it.

P.S. So sorry for the lack of posts! It's been over a month. Life got crazy and not a whole lot has changed in my fitness journey. I'm still going the same days and generally working on the same things. I think I've got a new workout or two to share with you. I've definitely got new workout gear that I can share. :)

Progress

So I've heard from a few people that the best way to track any weight loss progress is to take pictures of yourself. I decided to do this. Kinda. I bought a dress back in February for Valentine's Day but didn't get the chance to wear it until last Saturday. As I was trying it on, I took pictures of myself to compare to the ones I took in February. I actually am making progress! It's been fairly slow, but it's something! After seeing my progress for the first time since I started working out, I would definitely recommend taking pictures to compare. That way, if you're like me and aren't seeing results on the scale, you have visible proof that what you're doing is working and it feels great! I once had a cardio kickboxing instructor tell me not to focus on what the scale says, but to focus on how your clothes are fitting and how you're feeling. I completely agree. Not to mention that muscles weighs more than fat, so if you're building muscle, you may gain weight before you start to lose it. Buuut anyway, that's my tip for today.

And if you're curious, here are my pictures:
