By Golly, It's WORKING!
So, first let me disgust you. This is what I look like (my "fat section") in my bathing suit (not sure why my pics are still on their sides - I thought that was fixed?? anyway...).
Now keep in mind that this time last year, this looked pretty hot on me, I am told.
Now, it just plain makes me squirm!!! Just want document what I am starting with as sort of a "holding myself to it" threat.
Gross.
That being said (shown), I think it's actually working! I am trying to mix up my routine at the gym. I am varying my cardio and including some high intensity interval training (HIIT). I am writing down every little bite that goes in my mouth. I have not had a beer since Sunday (QUITE the accomplishment in warm weather, I might add). I am trying to eat mostly lean protein and raw foods. And I am talking to myself right here!
Guess what that bastard scale did? Dropped 4 lbs.! WAHOO! I guess I have to stop calling it names for a few days. Hoping that this is not a fluke and that it is not coming back tomorrow (that would surely piss me off).
At the very least, I am mildly encouraged. At least SOMETHING has happened, and that something was in the right direction for once. Like a little kid, I will be keeping my fingers crossed on both hands the next few days!
