Day 1.
Last night I went to bed a little scared about the whole challenge and the fact that I have to lose 4.5 lbs in the next four weeks. I've been trying to lose "the last 10-20 pounds" in what honestly seems like forever! At least a year or two. Yes, I slack. I workout 5-6 times a week so it's easy to ignore the fact that I'm not losing weight because I can at least say "Well, I've done all my workouts, so I'm at least putting in the work." Except the glaring fact that my eating habits are...less than stellar. I tend to eat whatever I'm craving, as a "treat." One of those "treats" can basically undo a whole day's workout!
Yes, I'm scared I won't reach the goal and won't lose any weight. I'm scared I won't get my money back. BUT I am motivated to prove myself wrong!
I am also extremely motivated by all of you. I can already tell this community will do me good as a support and accountability system. I love reading all your stories/progress statuses/ etc!!!! It makes me feel like we're all in this together. I honestly hope all of us get our money back! :)
Off the to the gym to lift some heavy weights (today is Leg Day: squats, lunges, deadlifts, glute bridges, hungarian lunges, etc! ) and then some HIIT cardio (sprints). Ready to get sweaty! Afterwards: eating the healthiest things there ever existed. I have money riding on this!
Have a good day everyone,
