I Hate Titling These Every Time....

So I had a FANTASTIC work out with Jenn yesterday. When I first started this "journey", there were two sessions in a row where I almost passed out. It was insane. And you know, it really scared me. It made me feel completely helpless. And it made me think, "There is NOTHING that is worth feeling this way." The good news is, this hasn't happened the last three sessions. My body is starting to build endurance, and my heart doesn't think that I'm trying to kill it. :)

So she always weighs me on Tuesdays, which I believe I told you about in my last post... anyway, I had a great week last week, and according to yesterday's weigh-in I lost two pounds, which brought my total to 8.3 pounds in two weeks! Well I always weigh in before my session, and then I secretly weigh myself again the next day. (I'm somewhat addicted to my scale right now, as all I've been getting are good results.) This morning I had lost ANOTHER 2 pounds! And I know they're different scales, but I've done the math and calculated the differences in each one, so I know it's for real. Aaaack! *Sweat Drops*Sweat Drops*Sweat Drops*!!!!!!! I was so unbelievably excited.

I worked all afternoon today, and absolutely HATED the idea of doing my cardio, but I did it anyway. I did my 35 minutes, during which I burned 407 calories. Then I got off the elliptical, drank some water, and thought, "Hey... I could go again. I feel great today!" So I got back on for another 30 minutes! I ended up burning 754.6 calories, total! I feel soooo good.

It feels amazing to be seeing results. Yesterday I told Jenn that I want nothing more right now than to be able to have string cheese. She said, "MAYBE in two weeks... I'll think about it." (she's not mean, she said it with a smile). It was then that I realized I don't care. I can live without certain things pretty easily now, because I know it's working. I can feel the changes taking place inside my body, and yesterday I started seeing them. Not only are my clothes (slightly) fitting looser, my skin is clearing up. I hadn't noticed until this morning, but I haven't had a breakout since before I started eating "clean" and exercising on a regular basis. Weird, yeah? I dig it, though. :)

Anyway, I'm starving. I'm gonna go shower off my sweatiness and make some (boring-but-worth-it) dinner!
