Week 2 Weigh-In...

Saturday concluded week 2 of Making the Cut.  I didn't get all my workouts in during week 2, due to a packed social schedule, so I was a little worried about my weigh in on Saturday.  I was pleasantly surprised that I lost an additional 3.8 pounds!  Yipee!

Week One:  Lost 3.6 lbs. / 0.4% body fat
Week Two:  Lost 3.8 lbs.  /  1.6% body fat

Total:  7.4 lbs / 2% body fat

From my calculations I have somewhere between 12-24 pounds to go!  :)

Making the Cut-Day One

Yesterday {Sunday} I began the Making the Cut program.  Bru.tal.

I wasn't even through the first circuit before I was re-thinking this.  But really, what was I expecting?  It is Jillian Michaels!  Day One had me screaming in pain and willing my legs to move with no avail...multiple times.  I have to admit, I kinda lost my cool.  My husband was working out at the same time and witnessed my little hissy fit/ breakdown.  I'm not proud of it.  I was so frustrated at my lack of strength to do these exercises!  After a long talk with my hubby, I realized that it is supposed to be hard.  If it were easy or even somewhat easy, I wouldn't need the program.  As much as I wish that were the case, it's not.  It's gonna be hard, but anything worth doing is.

I've got a whole new attitude today.  I just have to remember it come workout time tonight!

I'm gonna make the cut!

I got out my copy of Jillian Michaels' Making the Cut today.  I pretty much read it cover to cover and am ready to kick some ass!  We made a trip to the store this evening and I got all the food I'll need for the next week.  I didn't buy everything that was on the list for Week One, because it just seemed like so much!  I think by repeating some meals I'll waste less food and save some money too!
I'm looking forward to getting started tomorrow.  The next 30 days are going to be hard, but if I can just get  through them, I know I'll be so much happier with myself.  And, It'll be spring by then, so that will be perfect!  So excited!

Today's Distance:  1.25 miles
