Here Goes Nothing!

So welcome as I embark on this crazy 14 weeks of rediscovering me. It is supposed to be a weightloss challenge, a new way of looking at how I treat my body - what goes into it and what I do with it. I will keep you posted on anything and everything-my progress, frustrations, maybe even new recipes I am trying. Most of all I plan to have fun!

Thanks to Giggle Magazine and SweatLife Fitness for giving me this opportunity to change my life!

A disapointment...

So we are off and running! Lots of great workouts with Dan, my trainer from Sweatlife Fitness. I find myself excited for Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. And I have found time this week to workout in some manner every day. Then Dan suggests an impromtu weigh in...yuck. Not what I have been looking forward to. I think it just exposes my biggest fear doing this contest. That I will not lose the weight. That being said, I did the weigh in and only lost 1lb. This was not a horrible thing but still hard to swallow when everyone else lost 5 -7 lbs in their first week. I am going to take this as a motivator. Something to continue to inspire me if I don't want to workout or want to cheat and eat something bad. I think I was kidding myself into believing that I should see fantastic results for working out and eating well for a week. So almost two weeks down and only like 25+ lbs to go!

    Oh my gosh Amanda, NO.. Don't look at the number on the scale. The truth will be in the percentage of fat lossed. You are going great. Not to down play my high number weight loss, but it is just a bunch of water weight. Keep up the good work and try not to get discouraged. You are amazing!!!!

    Totally... I am sure my weight loss was just some of the 20lbs of junk finally leaving my body! It will be a rough road for all if us. You will definitely have your day. Just keep remembering you lapped us ALL in our first mile!! XO!!
