Fluid Pudding header image 3

I’m more flan-like than pudding-esque!

My EA Sports Active 30 Day Challenge is officially over, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. If you’ve kept up with my progress at all, you know that the Before me could barely walk up the steps without needing a nap. The After me actually sprints up the steps balancing two 75 pound baskets of towels on my head. (I’m exaggerating. But only a bit!)

When I started the challenge, I reluctantly posted my Before measurements for you. Let’s post the important ones once again with the Afters!

Bust
Before: 38 inches
After: 37 inches

Waist
Before: 34 inches
After: 31 inches

Hips
Before: 40 inches
After: 37 inches

In addition to losing inches, I also dropped two pounds. (And I realize that two pounds is pretty much nothing when you consider water weight fluctuation and whatnot, but still. Two pounds!) And most importantly, I had fun. In fact, less than two days after finishing the 30 Day Challenge, I began another 30 Day Challenge—on a higher fitness level. Unlike many of the other fitness programs I’ve tried, the “instructor” is not annoying (I’m talking to you, Mr. Wii Fit ponytail guy who uses his hands a bit too much), the music doesn’t grate (Hellooooo, My Fitness Coach), and the workouts are never the same. I’m quite impressed. And so is my sister. And so is my mom.

The After Shot
I know the Before shot featured my front.
Honestly, I can’t really tell a difference looking at my front.
But I CAN tell a difference from the side. So here you go.
I’m in my swimsuit! (This would NOT have happened four weeks ago.)
(And I’m pretty sure it won’t happen again, so enjoy.)

    So, THIS is what I could look like if I returned to exercise? Sign me up.

    Wow, you look so great! I probably won’t be inspired and start exercising, I’ll just be a little jealous.

    You look great! I love your suit too. Where did you get it?

    Wooo — trim tummy, tanned and toned thighs, well-defined calves. You’re a walking advert, FP. All that, and fun besides? I am wildly impressed!
