My goal was to lose 5 lbs. by this morning. Well, I lost 6.2 lbs. instead! YAY! And I am on my way to pick up my Good Measure Meals. I am confident with the meals on my side and a commitment to keep my exercise elevated that I can hit my goal.
And I can REALLY feel those 6 lbs. I lost. I can see it in my THIGHS!!! Wow. I have pretty much had thick thighs since about age 10. There were maybe 15 minutes in the early 90's when they were small but then they burst back to thick. Not that I have stick legs now but I can see they are getting smaller. It's like unwrapping a present. What will I look like after losing the next 5 lbs.? I don't know!
Yesterday I was supposed to do some strength training but it was so gorgeous outside that I went for a 2 mile run instead. I had just 30 minutes before we needed to leave for William's football game and busting out of the house for a run was a great way to use that time. It really gives me a sense of pride when I make those good choices. There are so many opportunities to make those good choices every day and I don't take advantage of every one but it makes me feel good when I do.
This is my first week without training from Sule but I know that I will keep hitting the heavy bag and doing my TWE 12 (check it out on YouTube!) and wicked ab exercises and killer pushups. I will not lose the fabulous muscle tone I've worked so hard for! It's a balance between cardio and strength that will get me to my goal. I will be upping the cardio to max out my weight loss this month which means more running and more hopping on the stationary bike and more sprints up the driveway. Have you seen my driveway - it's steep!
