Okay. I apologize. I am a complete slacker. I could go on and on with excuses but I haven't blogged in two weeks so I am sorry. Here goes the recap of what you have missed...
In my last post, I talked about dissappointment with a lack of results. The next day I got some great news. Even though the scale only shows 5lbs of weight loss, my physiograph showed that I gained 2lbs of muscle and 2lbs of fluid (my trainer said that is normal with muscle gains). So that means that my total fat loss is .... wait for it... 9lbs in 4 weeks! As I am sure that you can imagine, I was totally stoked!!!!
Now the big butt...no not that butt--the But I am only 6 weeks in. I feel like this is the hardest stretch. I am totally starting to crave sweets. (Oh how wonderful just one little cookie would be!) Meals are starting to get repetitive. Food planning is getting more difficult. We have about 8 weeks left and I really need to stay focused. Eyes on the prize!!!! I love my fellow BWLC girls but the competitive side of me has to try and win this thing or I don't I can keep the same intensitity. So any great snack or meal ideas...shoot them my way. Keep my fatty cravings at bay!
As for the training aspect of this challenge, I think that is my strength. I really enjoy the workouts. On the days off from the SweatLife gym, I am looking forward the my exercise for the day. And Rob is awesome at making sure that I get my workout in no matter what. Right now I am training for a 10k race, Trail of Payne on March 17th. I am pretty comfortable at 3 miles right now but I have not attempted anything over 3 miles since my freshman year of high school. Wish me luck! I am trying to add a half mile a week up to the race...we'll see.
Thanks for hanging in there with me. Talk to you soon.
