I know that weight may be very easy to put on and take forever to take off ( funny how it works that way) however I thought if i busted my butt for a good 2 weeks I would see some progress. I biked 40 miles the 1st week and then the 2nd week which is not entirely over yet I biked, walked, did an intense hour long Zumba workout and then did Hot Hula the following day which includes weight lifting. I am tired, sore and frustrated. I knew it wouldn't be instant results but most people lose a pound or two if not more the first week and then the 2nd week they slow down and lose a pound or at least just half. So you can imagine my surprise when I stepped on the scale this morning to read that I actually GAINED 2 pounds I had a heart attack! Now a little FYI-- Brandon cooked last night and though we are watching our portions and eating lean he did put a ton of salt on the meat we used for fajitas. He admitted it was way too much so maybe if I am luckily I will drink a ton of water and flush it all out literally.
So whats my goal.... to lose at least 5 pounds (which sounds so much easier than it actually is) be lean, tone, healthy and full of energy. When I was in my top shape 2 years ago I felt incredible. Like I could conquer that world. I felt a good 5-10 years younger too. It was wonderful and then life happened and even though I would gain a pound here lose one there I pretty much maintained within 5 pounds but my shape is different I don't feel lean and energetic like I used to. So I want that back! As long as I get some exercise every day but Sunday I will feel better. Here's to a new healthier, leaner me!
