Well, it's been a week since I started Phase I of my official contest prep. I am happy to report a 6 pound loss this week. The trouble with beginning to lose weight is that even when the scale is saying what you want it to - the body that you see in the mirror usually looks worse before it begins to look better. As you let go of extra fat and water, and your body composition begins to shift, it is normal to look at yourself in the mirror and see a body that looks out of proportion, soft or mushy, or even fattier looking than before you started. This is one of those times when you need to trust the process and stay the course. Covering up in baggier shirts does the trick for me!!
On a happier note - I have heard birds singing outside all morning. Between that and the sunshine, I can feel spring coming!! It will be here soon - and I CAN'T WAIT!!!
Refeed day - and I am totally psyched for a carb-packed lunch so I can kill it in bodypump tonight!! legs aren't sore yet from last night's workout - hopefully they'll hold off til after I teach!
Big day ahead - what will you do with yours?!?!?
