Today was the first day of my fourth week at the gym! I'm honestly quite proud of myself for not giving up! Of course, it's been so nice to be able to have my DH there with me. He's great support and I've pretty much given in to whatever he tells me to do. I can't be a whiner anymore. Not if I want to get to this lofty goal!
OK so here's a quick break down...
My plan isn't really WEIGHT oriented, although I DO have a goal in my head of losing 3lbs a week. Granted since I started working out I've lost only 4lbs. That plan isn't sticking the way I would like it to, but DH insists that it is just my body working against me and I WILL start seeing some results soon. I'm just trying to wrap my brain around small successes and quit focusing so much on the weight aspect of it. So far:
1.)Cardio is getting easier (although my feet are causing a problem here lately going numb 20 minutes into it)
2.)My stamina is SO much better
3.)I've been doing a lot of AB workouts and honestly...it's subtle, but I'm noticing a difference around my waistline. Not necessarily my stomach, but above my hips. It seems slimmer already. I want to go back and compare it but all I have to go by is video. I might try to do a screen capture of the video so I can have a beginning picture to compare to.
ANYWHO
Had my body stuck to my 3lbs plan, it would have worked out PERFECTLY that I would be at my goal weight on New Years Eve! Still, I'll take what I can get for now and I'm happy I've lost those 4lbs so far!
Also, I suggested to friends today that I might do a weekly video blog update, which would be fun. Then I could have a weekly view of my changes. So, I will work on that this week and see how it comes out!
I also joined thebiggestloserclub.com last week after rave reviews about it from my BFF. I am trying my damnedest to stick to the diet plan this week. I took the first week to learn the site, get familiar with the fitness plan and get motivated. AND they even sent me 3 books for free! How awesome is that?
So, please...follow me if you are interested! I always appreciate comments and suggestions. I sometimes have a hard time thinking of things to write about, so don't hesitate to ask questions about what I'm doing, what I'm eating, whatever! Stay tuned for those video blogs!
