Day 6 August 20

Back from the field! Had to stay out longer than I thought. Tired and sick of driving all over the country side. Did see some very cools sites though. So here are my stats in inches:
Chest 40
Hips 41
Waist 33
Thigh Left 24.5
Calf Left 14Arm
Left 11
Weight 173 UGH!! went up! This is due to eating too many carbs on the road and water retension for sure! My hands and feet are swollen and I feel soooooo bloated, Also I am coming up to that TOTM. The food on the road is sooo bad! I tried really hard to keep it ED friendly. It is a good thing tomorrow is a fast day and I can start excersing again. I haven't checked my stats at the end of the 30 from July 21, but will do and post my before pictures that I took today. I had planned to be at 150 by now. I really have to set my goals and stick to the plan.It was a high carb day so here is what I ate:
Tea and water throughout the day
Cantaloupe
Yogurt
Beef Veggie Soup
Salad with tom and cuc and tuna
Chicken
Califlower
Corn
Mash Potatoes (just a few tablespoons)
I was starving today. I know it has to do with my TOTM coming on. I am looking forward to fasting tomorrow.

July 29, 2009

Yesterday I had blueberries, two boiled eggs, two rice cakes, buffalo burger pattie, salad, potatoes. Today more blueberries, banana, 2 boiled eggs, and buffalo stir fry for dinner. I am going to get in a 5 km to 10 km jog in this evening.
I am going to visit my sister this weekend on the coast. I am looking forward to some wicked hikes, swimming and scuba diving. My sister is very fit and athletic and when I go and visit her she always has some major outdoor event planned for us. I will be driving down with my parents and we are stopping in Seattle for a couple of days and I am really excited about checking out the belly dancing stores there. I will be gone for two weeks and my goal weight for Aug 15 is 155lbs.

July 28, 2009

Well I went on a road trip with my husband for 4 days and just got back last night. Eating on the road is hard and as you know most restaurants don't have very ED friendly menus. I manage to eat an omelet without the ham and cheese and replaced the toast with a fruit salad. Boston pizza has a health section and I order salmon with steamed veggies and a salad. I went to the grocery store and bought strawberries, boiled eggs, cantaloupe, to take with us in our cooler. I also had yam fries, chicken on a stick, and salad. I had a couple of glasses of wine over the four days and coffee. Now I back to my ED full on and exercising twice a day.

July 23 POST 30 days

Feeling good. More motivated than ever to get to my goal weight. Will continue with ED until I reach 130. I am training for my half marathon that is coming up at the end of Sept. 21 km. That's a long way. I did my first 10 km non stop last week. Mostly just run 5 km with no problem. Tonight is another 10km. I am also going to incorporate more free weight training into my excercise routine. Cheers

Food

banana with blueberries
3 turkey cold cut
2 rice cakes
3/4 cup of chick peas
1/4 cup of tuna
fruit salad (blue, straw, banana, cantaloupe)
Chicken and salad for dinner

DAY 30 but not the last

Read about Cynthia's 30 day fat loss results from working with London Personal Trainer Dax Moy on his 30-in-30 program. Read how I lost 11.2 lbs and 11.5 inches in just 30 days.

Here are my final results!

Weight 167.8 start 179 down 11.2 lbs (pound per week on average 2.8 lbs)

Chest 39 start 41 down -2

Waist 33 start 36 down -3

Hips 41 start 44 down -3

Thighs 24.5 start 26 down -1.5

Calves 14 start 15 down -1

Arm 11 start 12 down - 1

Total inches lost overall 11.5!!

Well this has been quite a journey! A journey of self awareness and determination . . . I have learned self discipline, proper food management, finding time to dedicate to exercising (time management) and learning to say "NO". My name is Cynthia and I am from Alberta Canada and I have lost 11.2 pounds of unwanted fat in 30 days. That is 2.8 pounds of weight loss a week on average. I also lost 11.5 inches overall and am able to fit into clothes I have not worn in years! I am so grateful to have been pick for this program and will continue using DAX's program and the tools he gave us to reach my goal weight. In the past I have tried other programs, such weight watchers, but I did not see them through and quite just before I started seeing any results. I have always been in shape, but after I turned 35 it was, as the expression goes, all down hill from there. When I turned 40 I was at my heaviest. I was in the 190s and could barely tie my own shoes. I think that was my breaking point. It was depressing and I was in a rut. When I turned 41, I had had enough and started to do some research. I came across DAXs program and when he announced that he was looking for guinea pigs I was ecstatic. I had tried the Elimination Diet before, but again did not stick with it and what little results I had seen disappeared. When I was picked for the program I made a promise to myself to follow this through! I didn't want to be overweight anymore. Although the first week was pretty tough, hard and scary (because what if I failed AGAIN), I managed to persevere, stayed strong and stick with the program with the help of DAX's advice and encouragement. I was so happy to see 3 inches come off my waist and hips. Also my belly went down considerably and I didn't feel so bloated. I haven't reached my goal yet, but now I have the proper tools and willpower to succeed. There is nothing stopping me now. I recommend this program to anyone who has reached their limit and who are serious about losing weight and seeing results fast. It is not just a another diet . . . this program changes your life! Thanks DAX. I would love to give you a hug in person! xoxoxox
