So i am starting my second week of my 3 month challenge. I already seem to be adjusting to the new eating habits well, & can usually talk myself out of eating something I know I shouldn't. Getting back into the swing of working out is provong a bit harder. Not because I talk myself out of it (quite the opposite this time, actually), but because things I can't control get in the way. Last Friday, I got too overheated with just 2 toning stations & 10 minutes of cardio to go. Today, I was 45 minutes into the workout when I got slammed by a searing pain in my head. Determined to stick to my new resolve that a headache was not going to keep me from the gym, I tried to push through. I almost puked on the leg machine. My trainer made me stop. I am angry. Not with myself or my trainer, but with this intangible demon I keep having to fight.
Tomorrow is my first weigh in after starting the 25 in 3 challenge. I have been at this one whole week tomorrow. Will the scale move? I don't know. But I'm determined not to stress about it until I've had 2 check-ins without any loss. Then we can aggressively tweak what I'm doing. I know I'm already making better choices and can still have things I want (hello, DQ?), but not as often & not as much (like the mini blizzard last night instead of the usual medium. and the strawberry one, not the turtle).
Do I still have quite the battle to keep fighting? Yes. Am I still a little frightened about it? No question. But, most importantly, am I determined to succeed? Just watch me.
