12/7/09 - 1 week down, 6 more to go!

Thats right, I just finished 1 week of my exercise plan and eating right! And I've stayed off the scales for an entire week. This in itself is hard for me to believe because I'm a total scale whore. I usually weight at least 2 to 10 times a day. And I haven't weighed once all week!

I'm not going to weigh until 12/14 - I will also measure to see if I've made some progress in the past two weeks.

Here is a recap of my week:

11/30 - 60 min of cardio and 60 min of strength training (lower body)

12/01 - 5 am cardio - HIIT 45 min

12/02 - 60 min of cardio and 60 min of strength training (upper body)

12/03 - 5 am cardio - HIIT 45 min

12/04 - 5 an cardio - HIIT 45 min

12/05 - 60 min of cardio and 60 min of strengh training (lower body)

12/06 - "Free Day"

I ate clean all week, Sunday is my cheat day or what I call a "free day". If I want a cookie I can have it, but just one, and I don't count my calories, I don't exercise - I try and make good choices, but I'm not obsessed about it. I am happy to say, I did good, even on Sunday!

Now my week 2 begins! I'm trying to do this plan until my 3 year band anniversary - 1/18/10. I want to be at goal, or close to goal by then. I'm tired of teeter tottering around the same freaken 10 lbs!

I am so proud of myself for sticking to my plan this past week, its got me motivated to continue with this plan. It also helps that I've had a buddy. I know I can't turn the alarm off at 5 am and go back to sleep because she is waiting on me. So, as much as I hate to do it, I get up and head to the gym! 3 days a week its 5 am and 3 days a week its evening or late afternoon.

I think my biggest fear is to step ont the scales on 12/14 and not see any results. It could happen, but I do feel my clothes fitting better, so hopefully my measurements will show a loss.

Okay, I'm ready to hit week two!
