A new week!

Here we goooooo... onto week 6 of my new life....

My coach changed up my workout routine, which was nice because I was starting to get bored.  I LOVE the new workout - it's super hard and very challenging!

She also made some modifications to my diet - this will be tough.  Not so much reducing the amount of protein that I'm eating, but rather removing one of my treats!!!  Now I have to make a choice - mocha vs chocolate at night?  OR none of the the above.... I'm strong enough to do this!

I can finally see a bit of progress in my pictures... which is a good thing because my girlfriends and I are measuring this week.  I don't want to let them down since I am running the Zulu challenge with them!!!!  I think I must have lost inches???

Some updated pics from February 13th:

Recharged!

Wrote my coach an email... kinda like a woah is me email.... yesterday.  "Why can't I make the right choices", blah, blah, blah!  She really put things into perspective for me!  She called me and gave me a good talking to!

Basically, to sum it up, she said this is a lifetime goal, not a three month goal.  So the weight loss will be slower, granted.  BUT, it will still happen!  AND, she also said that I might have 10 bad days like I did this weekend in a whole year... BIG DEAL right?  If I can look at this in terms of the big picture, which I have never really been good at, maybe I can succeed this time!!!!

I have to WANT my goal more than the BAD FOOD!

And if each bite after the first isn't as good as the first, STOP EATING IT!  It's NOT worth it!

On a good note - I ate great yesterday, went to kickboxing last night, and I feel excellent today!  On with the show!

Quit pouting and move on into my life....

Pick myself up again...

Had a beautiful weekend in Kaslo with my family... that's the good news.  The bad news is that I was weak... AGAIN.... maybe I should come to the realization that I can't make the good choice when it comes to food and just deal with it.... I don't know..........  I want to have less fat but I also want to eat the good food.  It's a lose lose... and I don't see any progress from day 1 to now, which is very discouraging as I have faithfully worked out four times a week...  My clothes don't feel any looser......... Ugh!!!!

Anyway, enough crying about it.... I WILL see the positive in that I'm working out and I MUST be getting in better shape right???  I feel really good when I work out - more energy and just better when I get out of the house a few nights a week.  It's good for my inner beauty.  :-)

Here's to the next couple of weeks...

Discouraged

I don't know why... but today I feel discouraged...  I feel like I'm not getting anywhere... My body looks the same to me and my clothes still fit the same.  AND on top of that, I STILL feel winded at kickboxing... where is my stamina?

*sigh*  Here are some updated pics... I AM TRUSTING MY TRAINER and I will keep on the plan she has given me!!!!

I NEED to see some changes soon though or I am going to be so discouraged....

I hate these pics....

On a great note, this is my cute little workout partner from Saturday morning.
