I've started week 10 of my B4L challenge. Why is it that I have that horrid feeling of, "Oh my gosh, the deadline is almost here and my science project isn't even close to being done!". 7th grade emotions are flooding me. Instead of seeing all of the progress, I'm dwelling on missed opportunities. Good grief.
So...progress...um...well...smaller pants. That's good. Bra is too loose...that's not so good. Strength has been gained. I've gone from 3 lb dumb bells to 10 lbs. Reps started at 12-10-8 and now I do 15-12-10. I can jog at 4mph, walk at 3.5mph and go to the full #10 incline on the treadmill. When it comes to food, I'm having some trouble with seeing the progress. This is where I am weak. I get it right about 80% of the time and this is what the book says that I should shoot for. If I played basketball, I'd only shoot from the 3 point line. Why settle for 2 points when 3 is a possibility??? What I've learned from the 9 completed weeks is that I can NOT go for more than 4 hours without eating...three is the preferred max. What I've also learned is that a very small amount satisfies my stomach, but not my mouth and brain. Mouth and brain need to learn to take a backseat to the stomach. This is where I have room for improvement.
Week 10, 11, and 12 to go...13 to eternity after that!
