As I sit and write this, I am saying, WELL DUH to myself over and over again.
Exercise + less calorie intake = weight loss. DUH.
Over the last week, I’ve pushed myself exercise-wise. If I noticed I wasn’t breathing hard or sweating, I’D WORK HARDER. In my head, a little (no big) voice was asking: you want to see a difference, don’t you? NOW WORK HARDER! I would get off of the treadmill or come in from my run barely able to walk.
Vegetables and fruit comprised most of my diet (don’t worry, I made sure I got enough protien and carbohydrates!). No more little smokies, or cookies. No butter. Little salt. I didn’t feel deprived, though. Seriously, it felt good to eat so clean. My poor body needed it after all the garbage I ate over the holidays!
Even though logically I knew I should have a loss this week, I was still apprehensive this morning about weighing in. I haven’t had a significant loss in quite some time, and I’ve been frustrated.
But I got on the scale. And…
I AM DOWN! 2.9 pounds to 166.7. Huge HUGE sigh of relief!
Have I mentioned how much I love this challenge and how fired up I am? Now, to keep up the momentum!
Hope everyone else had a great week!
