Another week gone, and another week closer to my target date and I feel like I'm really not making any headway. At least not in reducing my tummy. It WAS another stressful week - my mom went back to the hospital, and I got some bad legal/financial news. Plus, it's 'that time of the month' and I have been having debilitating cramps.
I did make it to see my trainer and put in 2 really good workouts but I KNOW I am not doing enough cardio each week. I need to be on the elliptical 5 days a week at least instead of just 3. And my diet could be a little better, although I felt like I accomplished something this week: was having those PMS food cravings and walked by the frozen section at the gas station - and the Ben and Jerry's caught my eye. I stopped for a moment, looked at the various flavors...then continued walking. And it felt good to exercise that willpower!
The scale isn't moving but I don't have one at home so I can never weigh myself first thing in the morning. Plus, with the bloating, it's hard to know right now how much water I am retaining.
On one hand, I feel dejected - but on the other, when I look at myself in the mirror, I can see the changes...and my friends are all complimenting me.
I know this is a marathon, not a sprint and that I need to be patient. But I also know that if I don't make my goal after the next 4 weeks is up, I may never forgive myself. This journey is the first real thing that's given me a sense of accomplishment in SOOOO long and I just have to succeed. Failure is not an option!!!!!
