THE TORTOISE!

Today I checked my progress with a two week weigh in at the gym...I was deflated (and not in a good way). I was down 2 lbs. I soldiered on and gave my workout 100% but like Eeyore there was a little black raincloud over my head. This is a reality check, I hoped for more as I truly have eaten healthier foods in more controlled portions than ever before. I am working out 6x a week and because of the intensity and the physical and mental effort I put forth I expected a Diet Miracle!

Back to reality, inside I am a victim of the hype...LOSE 8LBS IN 7 DAYS...NEVER FEEL HUNGRY!!! I hate the term "lifestyle change" but I am truly searching for the way to have the physique I desire and the quality of health I deserve and I am finding it is hard work. I have worked so hard for the last two weeks that to move forward is the only option. I am also convinced that I am such an awesome person that my fat wants to hang around really badly...why leave, it's fantastic here! Well flab we don't want you anymore, consider this your eviction notice!

I also got an email from the gym that was very encouraging! This battle of the bulge is won in baby steps...CALL ME THE TORTOISE!
