The hardest thing about working out is not seeing immediate results. You see it immediately when you gain it, but not when you are working hard to lose it. I think this is why so many people quit. It is discouraging when you are working so hard at something and you see nothing. But isn't that just an illusion? I mean, I have worked out for one week. I have curbed my eating diet, and I have cut my soda to about 1 a day. I have also increased my water in take dramatically. To be honest I don't see much of a change. I'll reach for a pair of jeans and it still takes me 4 hops and a squat to squeeze into them. (girls you know exactly what I'm referring to!) HOWEVER!!! I honestly feel a difference. I know the water is flushing out my system, the exercising is making my muscles ache (or should I say "my fat ache" because there isn't much muscle just yet). And mentally, I think about exercising, I think about what I am eating and I feel icky when I eat something that isn't so healthy. My body likes what I am doing. My mind likes what I am doing. My eye's on the other hand does not like what it sees. I often think, " I wish I could just get all the extra stuff cut off and have my old body back and then I would REALLY take care of it." But then I wake up and face reality. It's going to take work. Easy is not always the best. I'm doing things the healthier way. (don't get me wrong, I always pray and ask God for a little Divine intervention as well) LOL I think when I reach my goal, I will be so happy to feel and SEE what I have accomplished through hard work. It's going to be worth it. I have faith that this stuff works :)
NOW I am going to post my measurements :
Waist 28 inches
Belly 36 inches
Butt 41 inches
thighs 39 inches (that's the total circumference of both legs together, not individually ;)
I'll measure again in about a month.

One week. Any difference?

Ummm...I don't notice the weight gain right away...therefore it takes me a while to stop the bad habits. I've been eating way better. Lost the same 11 lbs. I lost and gained back before. Hoping to get over the hump soon. Haven't really been exercising much besides some walking. I KNOW that exercise is what works - I just need to get with it. Starting Erin's workouts again.
