Simply amazing.
Over the last week since I’ve started the Body for life challenge, I’ve been feeling great. But this morning when I went to weight myself, I felt a dread deep down inside. That all of the work I’ve done wasn’t going to budge the scale. But I was wrong! In my first week I lost 2.5 lbs!!! That is more than I have ever lost in a week, and I know that just from one week on this program I have learned what I was doing wrong before.
First off, my protein intake hasn’t been superb in a long time. Second, I have never done such high intensity cardio! Last night I ran on the treadmill for 20 minutes in intervals and KICKED MY BUTT! The last high interval I went as fast as I could sustain for a minute and litterally felt like I was going to fall over when I was done. It was invigorating. It’s funny, too, because my husband usually critiqes my "sweatiness" after a workout and says I don’t workout hard enough. But not last night! He basically applauded me for my intensity. Between the high energy and the lower number on the scale… THAT’S motivation!!
