Yesterday was one of those days. You know the kind I mean - where you question what in the world have you signed up for? I worked out more yesterday than I have in my life, I do believe.
I also discovered something. In the past, I've watched the Biggest Loser with different thoughts. Initially, "there is not enough money in the world that would make me want to get up in front of national TV in those skimpy little outfits." After a season of two of seeing really great results, I often contemplated what a blessing it was to be chosen for a show like this...a unique opportunity to achieve something incredible to last a lifetime...if only I had the guts. Well...TRUST ME on this....I would never make it on that show. For the first time, I now understand how the contestants end up in tears and the comments indicating they could throw up are sincere IMHO. Kimber says I mocked her yesterday....she would not be incorrect in that statement. The workout was tough yesterday....and I told her she probably did not want to read my blog for yesterday...but I was too exhausted to do it last night. And surprisingly, this morning...it doesn't seem so bad. Don't get me wrong...I rolled my eyes (alot) and was questioning my sanity for beginning this journey (especially while on the elliptical), but truthfully, yesterday is over...and today my weight was down another 9/10 of a pound, which puts my total at about 8.5 lbs. Not so bad for a little over a weeks work, I'd say. Tomorrow we are supposed to go to the gym for a water aerobics class. I am looking forward to that for certain. I'm sure it won't be much of a workout for Kimber, but I really appreciate her attending with me...this is like my "fun" workout day. I've always enjoyed water activities. As a matter of fact, one of the reasons I'd like to get the weight down is so that I can obtain my scuba certification...so water aerobics, here I come!!!
As far as food choices go, I'm doing ok on that front....last night my arms hurt so badly that I couldn't even cut my steak....maybe that is the trick...work out so hard that you can't bring your fork to your mouth...then it won't matter what you eat...cuz after a bite or two, it just won't be worth it to move your arms one more time. LOL
Well...I keep meaning to post a pic...so that my loss can be tracked...but I need to hurry so I can get "credit" for these early pounds. Will get that done soon.
Thanks for all the encouragement & prayers....keep em coming!!
