No gain and no loss this week, ugh. Maybe I’ve plateaued? Maybe the scale is broken? Maybe I’ve gained muscle? Yes, I actually ventured into steroid muscle guy territory (aka the free weight area) this week and it wasn’t that scary. There weren’t as many steroid looking guys there as I thought. Darn. I mean, good. It is extremely frustrating not losing any weight this week, but I’m still at a 10lb total weight loss so far. Not too shabby. Oh and guess what arrived on my doorstep a couple days ago? A Nutrisystem nutribear! At every 10lb weight loss milestone, Nutrisystem sends you a bear to celebrate. I can’t wait to meet 20…and 30!
Despite not losing weight this week, I have more energy and my clothes are fitting better. I’m starting to not have such a negative body image anymore, something I’ve always struggled with. Something has just clicked inside of me. I know what I need to do and I’m doing it. Some days are harder than others, but it is getting a tiny bit easier as the weeks go by. Haven’t studies shown that it takes 21 days to form a habit? Well, it took me a bit longer but I think this whole exercising/eating right thing has finally turned into a habit.
You wanna know something else that is turning into a habit? Running. Dare I say I’m starting to actually enjoy it! Maybe “enjoy” was an overstatement, but my body craves and totally NEEDS it. I’m an addict. I get such a high from jogging, especially after I’ve pushed myself to go faster and further. Don’t look at me like I’m a weirdo, jog for a few weeks and you’ll see. It will turn you into a jogging junkie. Running a 5K doesn’t seem like such a crazy idea to me anymore, it actually seems attainable at this point. Scary as hell, but attainable. I may or may not have briefly searched for upcoming 5K’s in my area.
How are you guys doing this week? Anyone else thinking of running a 5K?
