My 1st weigh in!

It's officially been a week since I started working out & eating healthy. Since I started my "Lifestyle Change". A week of change. The only consistent on my life right now is my coffee which I consume daily. Only two days at Caribou which is quite the change from my more 6 days a week. I did however on my last trip there try the "Lite" version of my drink and honestly, I couldn't taste a difference. I know I said I wasn't going to go all crazy and get skinny thin drinks but if it is still MY drink with just less calories AND tastes the same I am doing it. Call me a liar, it's okay. I totally did lie.

When I look in the mirror I still see the same body I saw a week ago. I don't see a difference at all. I feel different. Different = Pain. Working out makes your whole body hurt, I knew that, but I forgot how much. And again, there is no such thing as a good hurt. There just isn't. Hurting on purpose is down right ridiculous but sadly necessary to achieve the results I want.  There isn't much hunger like people said there would be. I still eat 3 meals (well 2 sometimes because I tend to forget breakfast unless you count coffee). I still snack. I don't let myself feel hungry. If you are dieting and you feel hungry, you are doing it wrong.

I workout daily. I workout at the gym most days and at home almost every day. When I am at the gym I run and it sucks. I am getting better though. Every time I run I feel better than the time before. I still hate it. I have no love for running. Maybe one day I will be able to get along with running. I tend to say not nice things about her & curse her more often than not.

For the results!!! I started at 129.8. Not a bad weight but not a weight I felt comfortable with. I already said I don't have a goal but I just want to be healthy.

127.2! That means in the last week I lost 2.6 pounds. That is crazy business right there. I am excied about it but I have to remind myself this is NORMAL in the beginning and this isn't something I will see every week. I want to gain muscle too so in reality I don't want to lose this much every week. I don't want to be skin & bones. That isn't hot.

I can see a difference in my body when I see the photos.

I debated even doing photos. But who am I kidding. I take pictures of everything else. Why wouldn't I take photos of this? I'm glad I did. Like I said before, I don't see a difference when I look in the mirror at myself but I do see a difference in the photos. These photos motivate me to do better. To work harder and be better.

So here is to another week!
