Working Out -- Part III

I'm still working out! It's amazing! I've never lasted this long in the past. Forgive me, but I am proud of myself. It's not been easy. Many times I've wanted to say, "I QUIT!", but here I am, 9 pounds lighter - and much stronger! I actually feel muscles in my tummy and in my upper arms! It's so awesome!

What's been easy:

• staying under 2000 calories a day
• cardio - treadmill & elliptical are good
• accomplishing something i couldn't do when i first started
• feeling abs under the layer of blubber for the first time ever
• keeping up with Hubby when clearing a fallen tree - even "out working" him :-)
• the pride my hubby & kids have for me for sticking to it
• going to the gym with Hubby & The Brat
• having my trainer tell me they talk about my dedication

What's been not-so-easy:

• staying under 2000 calories when eating out - restaurant food is soo fattening :-(
• the workouts! they are killers! planks - squats - wall seats... (Ugh!)
• being pushed further and harder each time
• sweating - i detest sweating! it's not been fun riding home all sticky

As you can see, the good out weighs the not so good! Yeah!

I hope in another month, I'm another 7-9 pounds lighter!
