Week 1 Roundup

Week 1 Weight loss - 3.5 lbs

It feels good to get moving again but, I will admit, it was more challenging than I expected it to be. I only got in three workouts this week (my goal was four) and the final workout on Saturday quite nearly killed me. Lesson learned: don't stuff yourself full of food then attempt to do an hour long workout. I'm realizing that being mentally prepared is just as important as being physically prepared for each workout.

The workouts, in and of themselves, are quite easy. I'm glad of that, as this is the first time in many years that I've consistently worked out. Remaking good habits is hard!

Whole30 this week was my biggest success. I managed to eat out three times this week and stay on plan! I usually avoid eating out because it is hard to find food that is paleo approved. Round 2 of this plan is much easier. I know what to expect, I already have recipes in my pocket to use, and I'm more prepared. Meal planning continues to be the key! It's all about the preparation.

I took my "before" picture. Bikini and all. It was terrifying and depressing and everything awful. However, I can't wait until the day that it is truly the "before" picture. Just seeing that image is keeping me motivated to continue. Daily, consistent changes are the only way to get me where I want to go.

Here's to Week 2!
