It has been a while...I've had so much going on between work/workout/work/getting prepared for school/life that I just haven't had 30 minutes to myself to write! I don't like that! This will be the last blog I have until after my final measurements on Friday, April 20th. I will then be on my own for 2 weeks until I start the next phase of my training. This 5 Week Metabolic Challenge has been a "jumpstart" for what I want my lifestyle to be moving forward. I have made some very big changes in my daily habits, workouts, and eating. It hasn't been easy, and I've definitely been sore, but it has been worth it.
Last Friday I found out that I had lost 2.2% bodyfat in 3.5 weeks. That is a lot. I still haven't seen any real weight loss, but I am not letting it get me down. I know that there have been some inches lost throughout this time, and I am going to keep on working at this after this Friday. I guess I just can't seem to get too hung up on that number on the scale right now. Is it frustrating, yes, but I can see other changes. I don't want to wear a size 16 for the rest of my life, so I am going to keep working at this no matter what.
For the second week in a row I have had my high games at bowling. Still going to attribute this to everything I have been doing at Go. I bowled a 151 and a 152, and I had 2 Turkeys during that time. I feel stronger, and more stable when I am bowling. I am hoping for similar scores again this week. I just want to stay steady at this time.
Another big change for me is that when I do burpees or other jumping movements at the gym, I have to pull up my pants! Yes, even the spandex ones. They start to fall down during workouts, so I think that is a plus, too.
This Friday will bring a lot of news that I am definitely both looking forward to and very afraid of. I just need to know that my friends and family are behind me to finish this journey after this coming Friday - regardless of where I stand. I know it took me almost a full year to put the weight on, and it could take just as long to take it off. I just know that I do want this, and I want to bring the sexy back for Jamie Back. Thank you for reading this much...I promise to keep writing more.
