My progress so far is 12 lbs and 10 inches lost in 15 days. I'd say that is pretty great! My hard work is paying off and I'm starting to notice. I just need to keep my eyes on the prize because usually I will eventually hit a plateau and get discouraged and fall off track. I REFUSE to let that happen and I know the supportive people in my life will not allow it either.
This weekend was pretty busy so I wasn't able to post. Stephen and I walked in the March of Dimes walk on Saturday (which was my off day for workouts) and it was a 3 mile walk so I still got some good exercise in. Sunday was another hair/makeup trial for the wedding. Not the most active day but it happens!
Monday I was supposed to run 1 mile for time however, my body just does not allow it. My herniated disks in my lower back and my knee were not happy. I still tried on a treadmill but it wasn't any better. I fast-walked the mile though because I did not want to give up. It took me 17:40 min. to do it. When I got home, I did Ab Ripper X which was SO tough because my abs were still sore from the last time I did it! I kicked butt though.
Today I have Core 20+Stretch 40 to do. My diet has been pretty clean too!
Today so far:
-Shakeology, 1 scoop
