I had an angry workout this morning!! It's Friday which means it's weigh in day. So I go to do my thing feeling pretty good and WHAM! I lose....................... .6 pounds- yes POINT 6 pounds!!! AAACCCKKK!
So I was beyond frustrated and heartbroken. I worked out anyway even though I would have much rather gone home and sulked. And I did sulk, and whine, and cry a bit. But then I realized- if I lose .6 pounds every week for a year- that's a loss of over 25 pounds. That isn't bad at all!
I know my hard work will pay off- and one of these weeks I will go to weigh in and be blown away. But I do look a heck of a lot better and my clothes are looking much nicer- so something is going right.
We haven't been able to run at school due to weather this week- I am supposed to run 3x a week to prep for this 5K. I only ran once as of this morning. Thanks to my bro who kept me honest and had me run today too. And we are going to go tomorrow at 1. It was a rough start but a good finish. It took me about 35 minutes to do 2 miles. I know that's a pathetic time but it gives me somewhere to start. I am hoping to finish the 5K in under 45 minutes. We shall see. Now off to finish date night with my husband- he has been incredibly supportive of all that I am doing. Love him!
That's so frustrating when you've put in all that hard work and the scale just doesn't reflect it at all. Been there done that.
ReplyDeleteStay focused on what is working. You are doing great!!!

Hey, the scale is pointing in the right direction and if you feel better, it's totally worth every bit. If it is any consolation, you are getting me more and more pumped up to get it in gear once I have this wee one. Positive actions spread!!
