Good news!

I am feeling very motivated and , somewhat, accomplished today so I wanted to do a quick check in.  I decided to weigh myself this morning, although I swore up and down I was not getting on the scale again for another two weeks.  But, I figured that it is important for me to know where I am, especially heading into the weekend.  Transparent moment: I tend to over-indulge on the weekend and allow myself to eat things I normally don't during the week.  I am not proud of this, but I am working on it.  I can at least say that when I do cheat on the weekend, it is for one meal of the day and not the entire day.  Either way, I felt that I needed to know where I was before allowing myself to have a cheat meal (or two)!  So to my surprise, I have lost another 2 pounds and I couldn't be happier.  I think the change in my eating, as well as, the two-a-day workouts have helped. 

This brings me to the results of week 1 for the new challenge: it was a success.  I was able to stick with my exercise plan and complete 5 days of working out ( 3 days with two-a-day and 2 days with 1 1 1/2 hour workouts).  It wasn't  easy to stay consistent daily because I was exhausted after getting home from work, but I continued to remind myself that challenge is necessary in order to see change.
That's it for now...just wanted to check in.
