Well, this Wednesday has been quite interesting.  After a morning of disappointment on the scale, I put on my “happy face” and headed back to the gym.  I’m actually ok with the loss of 0.2 lbs this week.  I try to focus on the positives:  I didn’t gain weight and it is still a loss!

I know that I will continue to work hard and over time, it will pay off.  Dad reminded me this morning that, “I’ve been here before”!  Week 2 was a 0.8 lb lost and I bounced back with a 5.0 lb loss in Week 3.  I look forward to what the weeks to come will bring 

THE TWIST was announced this morning and there will be NO weigh-ins for 21 days!  These 3 weeks will allow for some BIG numbers on the scale.  Its good for me and similar to the schedule for weigh-ins that I had before the Challenge.  I did run by the gym to weigh on that scale, just after leaving the weigh-in, that way I have something to compare to over the next 3 weeks.  Amazingly, there was only 0.2lbs difference from the scale at the weigh-in and the scale at the gym.

I was back in the gym for a good workout at 12 noon today.  I did a good run and then a new circuit that Kevin had put together.  Today’s workout was on my own.  Kevin and Jill are getting MARRIED on FRIDAY!  Yes, this Friday…as in 2 days from now…and as you might imagine they were busy with last minute details.  I’m so excited for them!

After a good workout, I ran home to get my yoga mat and change shoes.  Then I was off to the gym again.  Yoga was good today.  My mind was very busy when I started class but by the end it was beginning to calm down.  Yoga was very needed today.  I am very thankful that Yoga was part of my afternoon.

Oh week 4…how you let me down…

I lost 0.2 lbs this week, but amazingly I’m ok about it.  Its still a move in the right direction and I’ll keep doing what I know will work.  One of these days the scale will reflect all the hard work I’ve done!

THE TWIST…

We learned of a “twist” to the competition this morning.  There will be a 2 week break from weighing-in.  That means the next weigh-in will be MARCH 24th!  Yes, 21 days until I weigh-in again.  It should be fun.  I’d much rather weigh-in less frequently.  As you might have guessed by now, my body fluctuates and over the course of a couple weeks or a month it will still reflect a loss.  I think everyone will have big losses and this “twist” will be fun.

I’m also looking forward to sleeping in for a couple Wednesdays in a row   4:15am to wake up, shower, do hair and makeup has been SUPER early!
