Week 2!!

Well it's Wednesday and we all know what that means!!! Another week down of my Beyond Fitness class and our weigh in day! I want everyone to know that I have really been kickin butt with the whole counting calorie thing. I have tried doing the counting points thing with Weight Watchers before, and that was hard, but this just seems more practical to me. I don't know....I am really able to see food and know how many calories are in it and make better food choices. It's great! I was driving down the street the other day after one of my clients and was really craving chocolate. I could not get it off my mind. Some people who are stronger than me would either stick a piece of gum in their mouth or drink some water or try to think of something else, but not me. When chocolate gets in my mind, it's pretty difficult to think of anything else. Haha And so because I had been doing really well with not having a lot of sweets, I pulled into the next gas station and scrounged my car for some change. I went in the gas station and (seriously I really did this) picked up each candy bar, turned it over, and looked at how many calories were in each one! :) It was a long process and different than what I usually did which would be grab the first Reeses I see and go (which I must add is one of the MOST calories! :), but I found a Dove chocolate bar with almonds that had reasonable calories, tasted pretty dang good, and satisfied my craving for the rest of the day.

Anyway, I could really go on and on about everything I am learning and changing in my life and how great it has been for me, but I will get down to what you all are waiting for. My results of my weight in tonight. I feel like I am on The Biggest Loser, wondering what my weight loss is gonna be (even though I do weigh myself on my own scale everyday, it's just so different having my trainer do it at the club), yet I am the only contestant and there is no doubt who is going to win: ME! :) Well, I am proud to announce that this past week I have lost a total of: 3.5 pounds! Which makes it a total of 6 pounds in two weeks! Yay! I have noticed a little bit of a change in my body, but not THAT much. Yes, there is a little more room in my pants, but only a little bit. I think I am gaining a lot of muscle which is taking the place of the fat, so that is nice too. So yeah. I am seeing some good results! I will prevail!!! Haha And of course, here is a picture of how much I have lost:

Michael Scott: No, no, no. I don't wanna hear moaning. This is a good day. You guys accomplished something big. You lost a ton of weight, literally. A lot of weight. And I don't care what any stupid scale says, you guys are all gigantic losers.
