Week 7: Mid-way results

Every week I get weighed and measured. I get measured around my chest, under breasts (the smallest part), at my belly button, hips, arms, thighs and calves. After finishing the first half of the program I have lost 4.8kgs and 22.4cms.

Chest:   4.2cm
Under breasts:  4.6cm
Belly button   0.9cm
Hips/Butt:  1.6cm
Thighs (left/right):  2.4cm/2.9cm
Calves (left/right):  0.4cm/2.2cm
Upper arms (left/right):  2.5cm/0.7cm
Total:   22.4cm

I'd like to see more come off my stomach and hips so I have added some stomach exercises to my program. These are great and I am have began to do them at home too. I have also started to do some exercises at home with some dumbbell weights.
I am finding it harder now that the weather is cooler to get up early and head to the gym so some of my early mornings are now mid morning visits. I was unwell over the weekend and had 3 days away from the gym and indulged in some comfort eating. I struggle with emotional eating and if I'm a little down or sick I turn to carbs such as corn chips. I am trying to counter this with having healthier snacks nearby. My favourite is lightly salted air-popped popcorn with cumin and coriander. After 3 days of no exercise I was thinking of talking it easy at the gym the first day back. However, once I got to the gym I found that I had missed being there and was soon back to my normal rhythm. I feel like I am comfortable in the classes I have started, so it is time to start a new class in week 8.
