Weight Loss Challenge: Week 1 Progress

So it's been a week. My motivation is still in full swing. I have felt like I'm getting there work-out wise. I'm sore and achey but feeling really good.

Workout wise I did last/this week:
-2/26: Pilates at home (DVD's I've had forever that are finally getting some use)
-2/27: Elliptical for 25 min.
-3/1: Elliptical for 20 min, bike for 10 min.
-3/2: Elliptical for 30 min. - Signed up for gym
-3/3: Spin Class - almost died! :) - don't spin your first week back on the horse
-3/4: Pilates at home - could feel it at work on Friday
-3/5: Elliptical for 30 min.
-3/6: Yogalates for 1 hr, elliptical for 30 min.

Diet wise:
Staying strong on the Isagenix program. My cleanse day was super easy. I've had a few cheats here and there, but not much.

Yesterday we had this new gym in the area come in and I know the Owner from something we worked on at Isagenix together. He had this machine that with infared light could tell you your body composition. I really didn't want to do it, but did. It was a terrible result, but at least I know where I am now, have a goal I'm working towards, and he offered to do it again in 30 days to see my progress. I keep telling myself that I can't beat myself up for getting here, but just keep focusing on the goal and where I want to be. I'll share results when I feel more confidence and after I've improved.

Results of week 1: 6 pound weight loss

I am seriously so excited and proud of myself and almost in disbelief. When I weighed myself this morning I was nervous there would be no change and couldn't believe the number. When I was in London, I so wish I would have had Isagenix. I was eating ok, but we weren't counting calories or watching super closely our food intake. I would have a 1-2 pd weight loss in a week and I was working out 1-1.5 hrs every day and remember feeling VERY frustrated. Now I know I just didn't adjust what I was eating and that would have made the difference.

I'm feeling good!
I'm so proud of myself!
I CAN do this!!!

Awesome stuff Karin! Tough to get started sometimes but once you make it a habit it really takes off. April and I just finished week 9 of P90X and every day feels like an accomplishment.

Best of luck to you as you keep this going!
