Challenge 2 Day 1- Weigh In Day

So, at the end of my 1st BFL Challenge & starting my 2nd BFL Challenge, I decided to see where I was at in my weight loss. I lost a total of 15 lbs in my first challenge. At first, when I was thinking about it, while on the elliptical and bike, I was feeling like I didn't lose enough. At the 1st month of this challenge, I dropped 10 lbs. And I thought if I keep this up, I would of lost 30 lbs at the end of months.

As I am sitting here typing this blog, I am watching Celebrity Fit Club on VH1 & what is frustrating, is while I am watching it, they are telling them that in 8 weeks, they need to drop 30 lbs, & they make it sound like it is a really realistic goal for them. And while talking to my husband, he said, it was like I said when I started this challenge. These are people that can all they do is because that is all they are doing. They aren't doing anything else.

Me on the other hand, I am working out, changing my eating habits, all the while working full time & being a full time mom. The other thing my husband reminded me is people that do Celebrity Fit Club & shows like that, it's like a yo-yo diet, where they are doing a crash course on weight loss, & they have a bigger risk of gaining that weight back. For me, my husband said that since I have made these stabilized life changes, I won't gain those 15 lbs back. I have to keep reminding myself that! I also have to remember that I have had to stop the upper body because of my shoulder injury.

Today was cardio day, and I did 10 minutes on the elliptical & 10 minutes on the stationary bike at where Renee told me to do. I was sweating up a storm! I weighed myself before I worked out, so I let that frustration & how I was feeling a bit rotten when I woke up, to fuel my pushing through this workout! I did not want to slow down. I need to let that fuel me to keep going & anticipate losing more!!
