My Butt Hurts!

Well...after a pretty hard work-out yesterday, I'm reaping the benefits (or rather the fallout) of my workout.

MY BUTT HURTS!!!

I can't place my finger on exactly which exercise I completed that did this to me, but I wanna do it again! If it hurts, then somehow, I don't know how or why, it must be working!

BUNS OF STEEL HERE I COME!

I'm also feeling the pain in my quads. Oh dooggie! The stairs this morning are a killer. I think I'm more sore today than I was after completing the half marathon. (and I was pretty sore).

Maybe I should start my own workout video. Maybe a group training session...

I could be rich...Rich...RICH!!!

Or maybe I'll continue to just workout and see if I can be firm...Firm...FIRM!

The Results are in!

I have finished. The 14-day challenge is over.

The results are in....

I've lost just over 3 lbs. Woohoo.

It's not much, BUT IT'S SOMETHING! Maybe I'm not a BIG Loser...more like a little loser!

I've been to the gym everyday but Fridays for the past 14 days.

I've met with my trainer twice.

I've gone to the doctor once (blood test results are in next week and a follow-up appointment will be on 7/7).

I'm doing my part. I'm seeing results. I have to keep going.

So what are the REAL results? This 14-day challenge will be extended. I will keep going. I will continue giving this EVERYTHING I have - in fact, I'm willing to donate 50 lbs for FREE!

Anways, I'm going to continue to eat lo-carb (with most of my carbs at breakfast). I will continue to eat protein at every meal. I havent' eaten a single french fry over these 14 days. I will continue to skip out on the fries. Wendy's gourment salads are an everyday staple for me. I will continue to eat those Chicken BLT and Cobb salads - yum! I've even gone days without drinking any diet soda. I haven't yet given those up - maybe, maybe not...

Keep cheering for me. Pray for me. I'm believing I'm being a good steward of the body that God has given me. I want to be as healthy as I can - for HIS purpose.

Alright, let's go for another 14-days. We'll go from there!

I curse "THE CURSE"

It seems to me that the 4 lbs "fluctuation" in my weight earlier this week may just have been a result of that blasted CURSE! Water weight. That's all it was. I work and work and WORK and what do I get, a dang fluctuation due to THE CURSE!

So, it's back to the gym I go.

Not that it would matter. I would still go. It's part of my 14-day challenge, minus yesterday because my schedule did not permit a trip to the gym. (Although, playing mini-golf and swinging at some pitches in the batting cages should count for something). I have a graduation party tonight that threatens my choices to maintain "low-carb". I know I will be watched to see if I take some of that baked ziti or not. I shall speak of it no more!

I am still VERY sore from Thursday's workout. My shoulders and side muscles (pardon the technical terms) are sore even to the touch. Typing on this laptop also brings about a small amount of soreness. But alas, I am determined that these types of set-backs will not hold me back. I think my legs and buttocks are sore too, but I can't feel them from the aching in my sides!

No. I am not a quitter. Anyone who knows me knows that. Even if all seems lost or a waste of time, I will continue because I have committed to doing so. I will be the BIGLOSER that I've set out to be. It just might take me a little more time and some harder workouts!

I am convinced that the perseverance will at some point be rewarded. If not with weight loss - than a trip to Rita's (which by the way, I haven't been to but once since they opened in March). I'm not that easily swayed.

So off I go - again, for another 2 hour weekend session at the gym!
