Here I am in week 5 and not noticing much of a change in my appearance. My husband and Julofthenile say I look leaner… my clothes are still fitting me the same. I did get in touch with ForHimKm who did the challenge last year (you’ve got to see her. what a transformation!!!) and she commented that she really didn’t see much until around week 9. I’m hoping that I see something sooner.

One thing I have noticed is that I am getting stronger. I am able to do 90 lbs on the bench for 6! Squat 135! and on Saturday I ran at 9 mph (granted it was only for about 10 seconds, but still!!) My shoulders are getting stronger (I’ve always had problems with them) and I can feel my quad muscles… they’re hard!!

I know I need to be patient. So I will be. I feel good about my other accomplishments so that is what is getting me through. I still have hope that I will get through these 12 weeks and come out with a great body! Hope is all I have right now so I’m sticking with it. I’ve had some encouraging words from a co-worker who knows that I am doing this. She is amazed that I get up so early to be at the gym and that I am really sticking to eating clean. I hope I can inspire some people at work by my doing this.

Gotta go. I should be working.

Ciao for now.
