3rd vs 4th version!. It's the only time I've been happy to retrace a pattern...
It's the Hinterland dress by Sew Liberated.
I used to be super fit (seriously, check out my back!) when I was bike commuting 2 hours a day and doing 5 hours of olympic weightlifting a week, but got derailed for a couple of years due to a hip injury and serious illness.
In January I discovered a lovely little gym near my house and signed up. It only does small group training classes (maximum of 6 or 8 in each class). I started going to 4 or 5 classes a week, and tracking my calories again. I averaged ~1600 calories up until Easter, when I stepped up my exercise. I still try to get 80+g protein a day but I'm not tracking anything else because I need the food to recover and I'm happy to recomp. My weight hasn't budged for a month, but my core and legs are pretty solid and I'm getting bicep and side ab definition again.
Progress:
Edit: Height is 5'6"
198 to 158lbs
31.5 to 27.5" waist
45.2 to 42" hips
Current weekly routine:
3 weight classes
3 runs with my husband (C25K)
1 bootcamp class
1 or 2 "functional fitness" classes (focuses on movement patterns, stretching, core work)
Couple of long walks
Some current PRs:
C&J: double at 35kg
Deadlift: double at 82.5kg
