As I’ve mentioned, the work weigh-in for the Biggest Loser Challenge is every Tuesday morning. It’s an exciting time, yet a dreaded event in the same sense. I would love to check my blood pressure as I inch closer to the scale, because I can literally feel the blood pumping through my veins. I get very nervous because I know the work I’ve done throughout the last week. I know my calorie counts and I know the effort I’ve put in at the gym. Its just a matter of my body agreeing.
With a weigh-in last week of 7.2, I was even more nervous this week. I know 7.2 is excessive. The pessimist side of me was saying “its just water weight. Next week will really show.” The shyer, more optimistic side of me says, “Way to go fat girl! That’s a pound a day!”
Today weigh-in was a measly .2 pounds less. But a loss is a loss and I’ll take it. For a 2 weeks period, I’ve lost nearly 7 ½ pounds which is still a great number.
I still have some changes to make on my diet and this week I’m entering in strength training into my gym routine. Hopefully my body has adjusted to this sudden change in diet and exercise and it will really pay off next week.
I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot, but I’m hoping to make it an even 10 pound loss by next Tuesday. We’ll see. Stay tuned.
