day 2

yesterday, I blogged for the first time on here in a long, long time. I talked about my goals for fitness and eating, that I want to eat lots of veggies, and try new things, like this kale salad recipe my sister gave me. I also said I wanted to be more lean- losing fat and building muscle, so that I would be in better shape overall. I had been doing strength training a few times a week pretty consistently over the last six months, so I want to keep this up, perhaps even increasing it to do some strength and cardio 5 days a week. I really want to do something more fun and for a longer amount of time once a week- like kayak at shelby farms, or go hiking at meeman shelby state park. I would love to take ballroom/swing dance lessons with spencer this year, too. We've talked about doing that for awhile now, and in a month, with my giant teacher's salary (it is huge to us), we will finally be able to do that.

here are my current measurements from yesterday:
bicep:11.5
forearm: 9.25
chest: 34
waist: 28
hips: 39.5
thigh: 22
calf: 13.5

I would like to ideally lose ten inches overall, and I also want to add lower abdomen to that since that is where I carry weight. I'd like to be at 10 biceps, 26 waist, 37 hips and 20 thighs. I am not sure that those are completely reasonable measurements for me, but I think it is a good goal for now.
