Final results

Hi all,


Final sorted out final measurements really chuffed.

Starting weight 10. 10 NOW 10.2
Bust 36 NOW 34
Under bust 32. NOW 31
Waist 32 NOW 30
Hips 36 NOW 34
Arm 10.5 NOW 9.5
Top of leg 21.5 NOW 20.5
Calf 12 NOW 11.

Total loss of weight 8lbs and of 13 inches lost, how good is that in 30 days.

So happy and now a size 10 in most shops. whoop whoop.

Still no sign of camera, but will post pictures tomorrow. I have a couple of tortilla wraps as not had them in ages, as it was only two did not get bloated and I feel fine, they do not taste as good as I remember before so they will be a treat now and again, not something I will have in my normal diet.

I am doing a fast from 4.30 today, just to give my weight loss a boost and not doing a heavy workout so wont need to refuel. Have today had a nice swim and a dvd, felt very weird not doing any dax exercises and I kind of miss them, so looking forward to next week when I can do meltdown and dumbbell matrix as they are my faves.

How is everyone else getting on.

Day 30 - The final day.

Cant believe it is the final day. I am going to do my final measurements and weight tomorrow as I am bloated today after dinner late last night.

I want to say well done to everyone who did the 30 Days MAP. Cant believe workout for 30 days straight and at least 3 to 4 times minimum. I know I have really enjoyed it.

I am going to have a rest day tomorrow as I am getting my hair done so I wont get to the gym, but I am sure I will do a couple of circuits or a dvd as it has come apart of my day now and I really do get a good buzz when I work out.

I am going to stick to the elimination diet but going to do it for 90% of the time with a few treats but not to many as I know sugar goes straight to my stomach.

Will update later. Have to go now.

Day 28 MAP - Fast nearly done

Day 29 of MAP and I have nearly completed the fast, the hardest part is the last couple of hours.

Have started to get really hungry, have a nice low carbs meal of stuff peppers and salad. Also some cashew nuts for after.

Hope all my fellow mapper are getting on well too.

Last day tomorrow, but wont be stopping, just fitting the elimination diet to my life style.

Will introduce a new food but not sure which one yet. will have a think about it. What is everyone introducing first. What have you all missed the most.

Day 28 MAP - Two days to go - Going to have a fast day.

Morning all,

For the first time in 28 days I am feeling very blotted and feel like I have eaten to much, even sticking to elimination diet, but maybe just to much food, so from 8-9 o clock last night I am going to fast. I think this will be my 3 or maybe 4 time of fasting so going to give it ago.

If anyone has any tips or advice on fasting please let me know, I know it is not normally to hard once you loaded up on carbs the day before.

I know before I just had to keep myself busy and Monday is always a busy day, I am going to drink plenty of water and get some new herbal teas to try out. Then tonight will have a low carb meal.

Today I have done power circuit and I got up to 70 of each set and then 40 of the last set I was so chuffed. I did feel like I had a power serge after my legs were shaking.

Back to the gym today so going to do body weights and dumbbell matrix I always seem to do them together and then a nice run on the treadmill.

Once map is finished I am going to have one rest day and then try to fit in all the workouts the rest of the days and maybe find some different forms of exercise and just shake it up a bit.

Today looks like another lovely day so happy Monday all.

MAP DAY 25-26-27 - The end is in sight, but already found my next challenge.

Hi all,

The end of MAP is in sight, only 3 more days to go, But are we all going to stop or continue.

Well top I was looking though my wardrobe and found my old skinny jeans that I use to wear when I lost loads of weight after I had my son, they are a 8-10 and a 28 inch waist. I tried them on and they fit but I have horrible muffin top, they fitted nice on my bum and legs. So they are my next challenge to get into in the next 2-3 months.

My plan of action is to do elimination diet 90% of the time and to continue with the exercises at least 3 times a day and if I have time 4 times a day, but not going to worry to much if I cant fit all 4 in.

Since doing MAP I can now see my before kids body and my proper curves and shape my body sound be, I do not want to be skinny, or skinny fat I just want a nice lean shape. I am not bothered about scales anymore and I can happily jump on and off every day and it no longer effects my mood, as long as I see a small downward tread I am fine.

I keep myself in check with my tape measure and that shows me a more healthy progress.

So here is to the last few days of MAP and beyond.

I will post final pictures from MAP, when I dig out my camera and also measurements on Tuesday.

To all my fellow MAPPERs please let me know how you get on.

MAP DAY 23-24 only 6 days left

e
Hope everyone is well.

Elimination diet still going strong, loving the food, loads of salads due to the hot weather. My hubby tried a salad I made the other day and he said was best salad he had ever had. I have cut down on nuts and seeds, as they are high in calories, so i am finding my calories go alot further now.

Yesterday all exercise session were done and I got a lot of praised from a few people at the gym who have been watching me. One lovely lady said she was speaking to her sister about me and how well i have done with losing weight and getting lean. I was so chuffed. She asked me for some tips and she said she had be doing all the exercises and getting no results, I just said I thought her weight looked far to easy and told her dax 2 part sit ups which she really struggled with so just showed her how to improve her form. She was also doing cardio before weil ghts, so I said to do hiits after she had done her weights. She was really gratefull and said I would catch up with her soon when next in gym to see how she getting on.

Today I have done all exercises apart from ICP. Which I am getting really quick at apart from the russian twists, every time I do a twist I hear my back clicking, not sure why.

Have a good day all. xx
