Moving Forward

Okay, just a little more than last week, but I’m not at all surprised.  I’m still making progress overall, as I’ve bumped-up my time on the elliptical to a full hour and I can definitely tell that my heart rate takes much less time to recover.  Also, I can tell that my total energy level through the day stays more constant.  All in all, I must say that I’m feeling better than I have in years!  I look forward to all that I can achieve, even with a set-back now and then….

I can’t believe I’ve done it.  One week behind me and still wanting more.  Yesterday was also weigh-in day, which I knew would likely bring mixed feelings.  I had cheated and had weighed two days before and that had been a disappointment, as I had actually showed to be heavier than when I started.  So yesterday, I was preparing myself for more of the same.  

I stood at my locker after my workout, staring-down the scales as I peeled off my sweaty clothes.  Then, as if I was trying to take the scales by surprise, I stepped onto them…  Wow!  4.5 lbs lighter!!! 

I realize that since I am also incorporating muscle building into my routine that I will have weeks that I don’t show losses in body weight, but this was a good first-week weigh in treat.
