What a ride this has been! I am on week three. It has been a rough ride but one that in the end will payoff. These past 21 days have taught me so much. After week one I was a bit discouraged I finally saw how food can really show up on the scale the next day. I had eaten a big carb meal and the next morning I was up 2 pounds...talk about knocking me down a peg....I stayed under my calories but those carbs make you retain water...then you add that time of the month and water weight and that added another 2. YUCK!!! I can now say I am down 3.5 wooohooo. So I am back at 183.5, 3.5 more and I will be at 180!! THANK GOD!!! The past two days have been rough I ran last night for the first time in 3 weeks with the running club and wow was it hard! It felt as if it was impossible! I feel like I barely ran at all! I am never ever aloud to take that much time off from running! This morning my trainer added to this craziness and made me run stairs, not just a few flights..the same flight 50 times- that equals 600 stairs...talk about hard!
Anyway this discouragement had me looking through some old pictures and I found another one that reminds me why I am doing all of this. (This picture is also the picture my trainer wants to use as my before! He has an after but my after is still a work in progress....so I guess he has a mid way picture :-) So this is the before picture- this is what keeps me going
Here is the mid-way picture (aka current)
