I’m a day late in posting my progress for the week, but it’s been a crazy week! Well, any week is a crazy week around here with homeschooling my 7 year old and running after my 1 year old. I also hurt my calf, a strain I think, so cardio has been hard to get in. I’ve only been able to do 2 days this week, but I did try and get in some extra strength training so that I wasn’t falling too far behind. My calf is starting to feel better after a week of trying not to do anything that makes it hurt, which is hard since it was hurting the most when I pushed off with the ball of my foot, so running as well as elliptical were totally out! The last two day I was able to alter the way I was pushing on my foot pedals of my elliptical and do my workout, yay!

So, with not being able to stick to my usual routine this last week I was nervous about my weigh in. Worry aside, I did weigh in of course 🙂 I lost 1.4 lbs this week!!! I’m so happy! I was scared I had gained, LOL! Current weight 158.4 lbs!

Week 1 weight: 167.0 lbs

Week 2 weight: 163.2 lbs

Week 3 weight: 162.2 lbs

Week 4 weight: 159.8 lbs

Week 5 weight: 158.4 lbs

Pounds left to goal : 38.4

Well, today marks one month since I started really taking my weight loss seriously. I was nervous for this day, scared of disappointing myself. But, I have to say that I am quite proud! I took a progress photo today, using my phone, and I can SEE the difference this month has made. Being able to see the difference is so much more gratifying than seeing the numbers on the scale go down. Those numbers really don’t mean much, they are just numbers. They don’t describe my character or define my life. What I see in the mirror is so much more important.

I’ve been able to see the changes in my body along the way, but they didn’t feel very dramatic until I looked at my pictures from this morning beside those from a month ago. My stomach is so much flatter! When I look at my face, my cheekbones are more defined, my neck is thinner and my collarbones are making an appearance. I can see muscle definition in my arms and calves and my thighs feel like rocks…cover in a thinner layer of fluff. But it’s working. I’m pushing hard and it’s paying off. This month has been hard work, but I look forward to it everyday. I look forward to sweating and feeling exhausted after a good workout. I look forward to feeling which muscles have gotten sore every morning. I can’t wait to see what this next month brings me!
