Week 3 Status Update

It's been a rough week for me this week too.  I had to go to the dentist twice (once for cleaning, once for an issue with one of my fillings needing repaired) and let's just say, I have quite a bit of anxiety when it comes to the dentist.  Needless to say, twice in one week was an issue for me.  I definitely did not do very well with my eating (mostly just didn't have an appetite) and didn't fuel my body like I should have this week.  The things I ate were still good foods, but I definitely didn't get the calories I should have and I'm pretty sure my body is pissed about it.  I didn't do very well with my water either.

But, just like on the Biggest Loser this season, that's not an excuse.  No excuses.  I didn't do well, but I'll do better this coming week.  And that's all I can really say.

My workouts went pretty well this week and I burnt a lot of calories!  I'm struggling right now with just continuing to trust the process, no matter what the scale/measurements say.  Which is why I am posting progress pics today.  I can tell a difference in the pics and in my clothes, even if I am retaining water from lifting weights this week

Trust the process Amanda, trust the process.  You aren't gaining weight because you started working out.  It's all water.  Trust the process.

Goals for the coming week:

1. Burn 5000 calories
2. Water: if you don't have your 8 cups in, you can't have coffee the next morning!
3. No stepping on the scale until next Sunday.
