So I made a big decision after the Win to Lose challenge ended and that was that I needed a break.
Between the early morning workout and my long hours at work and a few other factors, I was feeling completely discouraged and defeated.
In truth the first week after the challenge I worked out 3 times instead of 5 and last week I chose to sleep in and nurture my tired self. It helped a lot.
While many would not recommend this, it was exactly what I needed.
Tomorrow I start a new team training at the gym for 6 weeks. 2 days a week from 5:30 a.m. to 6:30 a.m.
Today I woke up ready to get started again. I grabbed the pooch and we went for a 3 mile walk in the 23 degree weather and it felt really good. I feel good about me!
I weighed in this morning buck naked at 163 lbs. And that's a good starting point I'm thinking!
I am going to focus on my food intake and the "getting fit" part this time.
If I do those things I will lose weight but I really messed myself up by making my weight loss the center of my universe during the 9 week program.
I declare here and now that I'm dumping that! WooHoo!
My ultimate goal in this next 6 weeks is to lose fat off my body and be able to see my leg and arm muscles clearly...as in defined and I deeply desire to lose more of my belly!
Wish me luck. I am officially back on board to continue sharing the journey, so I hope you will come on along for the ride. Weeeeeeeeeee!
Hugs,
Linda
