Hey guys!
Well, my first week went pretty well. After seeing the trainer that I mentioned last week, I found it hard to walk normally for a few days. Lunges killed my legs lol. Kyra is a great support for me. She pushes me to get out of my comfort zone. She makes me want to go the extra step. She's been really supportive and encouraging too. Seeing her lose the weight that she has lost has helped inspire me. Also, seeing the progress through the week when I step on the scale is a huge motivation to keep going. I'm going to miss her when she is in Vegas for the next few weeks, but I'll hear her in the back of my head going "Come on you can do it! Just a little more!"
So I weigh myself every morning, so yesterday morning was my first weigh in. The 156 I posted last week was with my shoes on when I was at the gym. The first time I weighed myself on my new scale at home, I was at 155. I think that will stand as my starting weight since I wasn't wearing shoes. Well, yesterday morning I weighed 153 pounds! So I lost 2 pounds! Yay!! :D
My weigh ins will now be more consistent since I do have a scale and I weigh myself at the same time everyday.
The eating part is going pretty good. Not perfect, but well. I make sure to eat breakfast every morning. I allow myself to still enjoy food and if one day I don't do so well, I don't curse myself. I'm going to the gym 4 days a week, so I'll work it off. I love going to the gym. I love how I feel afterwards. I hope that feeling keeps going after I start working with the trainer.
I was supposed to meet with the trainer on Tuesday, but my car battery died, so I had to reschedule for this Thursday. I made it to the gym three days this week. I hope to make it my goal of four times this week. The things I hate working on: Abs and calves. Both will be the death of me haha. But I will keep working on them. I just want to curse when I do calf and ab exercises lol. I also hope to improve on my jogging skills.
I think I have inspired Josh also. He bought workout shorts and wants to check out the gym with me this week. We'll see! :)
So here's to hoping I continue to make progress this next week!
Thanks for reading! :)

Sweet, it sounds like you're doing great! And yay, 2 pounds down, that's awesome! I'm glad you're doing so well with the working out and eating, I'm the same way I don't beat myself up since I know I'll be burning most of it off anyway. That and you're right, you shouldn't deprive yourself, if you have a craving have a little otherwise you set yourself up for binging, haha. Not cool. It's fun hearing how things are going with you, keep up the great work Jen!
ReplyDeleteMeant to also say that I like the background you picked for this, very pretty! =D
ReplyDeleteThanks Carrie! Your words mean a lot to me. I agree that if I totally cut something from my diet that I usually love, I'll binge when I do eat it, so I just eat whatever it is in moderation. Cutting back on the sweets hasn't been too hard since I don't have a lot of them. My Girl Scout cookies lasted weeks! lol. Josh bought those. But even between us, they lasted awhile.
ReplyDeleteI hope this week goes well, too. I'm anxious to get to the gym today :)
Thanks for the compliment on the page. My only annoyance is that there aren't the usual spaces between the period and the beginning of the next sentence lol.
