Am I making decent progress?
I've started working out about a month ago. I've been doing pilates 4-6 days a week, 30-45 min a day. On a normal day, I'll eat something like, a bowl of kashi for breakfast, or fiber pop tarts, or flax seed waffles with sf syrup. For lunch it's something like pb&j on whole grain bread or a smart one, and something similar for dinner. I do still struggle some with snacking in the evening, even if it's healthy, I'd like to cut back. I'm not super strict with diet when I go out with husband (rare) bc I'm trying to make my diet something I can stick to.
Anyway, in the month, my weights gone from 158/159- 155/154, I expected to see more change but I'm trying not to focus too much on pounds.
My arms have gone from 11 1/2 inch, to ten and now back to 11 1/2 (muscle building? I can do pushups now.)
My waist has been fluctuating irregularly, 32 to 34 to 33 to 32 to 33. I assume that could be water fluctuation, salt, bloating etc.
My hips have gone from 41 inch to 39 and my thighs from 24 inch to 21.
My question is, am I making good progress? I'd like to ideally be down two sizes total my June, but I feel like I'm going to slow. Thoughts?
