Less frustrated with myself today. I ate more than I should have, but I exercised (strengthening and cardio), and took on a new exercise challenge! I'm going to do the 30-Day Ab Challenge... by the end you're supposed to be doing 125 situps, 200 crunches, 65 leg raises, and a 2 minute plank. Yikes! I can't imagine getting there... but I can't wait to try.
Today, I had an interesting exchange with Agnes. While making some charts for the next day, Agnes came out of her office and asked me, "So Miss Rebecca, how much weight have you lost so far?!" and I responded that I'd lost about 50 lbs to date. She was quite shocked and asked me how much further I had to go to reach my goal - I told her that I wanted to lose another 50 lbs, because I started off at 280 lbs, and had a lot to lose to get where I wanted to be at. The exchange made me incredibly confident and happy, because it's really hard to know if you're in Agnes' good books or not. Additionally, I didn't realize that she noticed anything about me - so I felt super pumped and on cloud nine with her observations.
I'm pondering whether or not to weigh in on Friday morning. I know I want to find out if I've made it to the 50 lb mark, but I'm not sure if I'll have lost anything, being as though I haven't been under my calories at all this week. Still, I'm wondering if it isn't worth trying - just to document my progress as the weeks go by... or maybe I'm just trying to use it as a crutch, instead of focusing on where I'm headed and how to get there.
I emailed Jess today, asking for tips and advice on living a healthier lifestyle. I know that she's super fit and active, and I'd love any suggestions she might have for upping the ante in my life at the moment. I think I'm doing a pretty good job, but I definitely want to have goals for myself and keep progressing in my fitness levels. I don't want to get bored with my routines or give in to routines... I want to progress and keep trying to get stronger, leaner, more toned, and healthier! Here's hoping I took a step in the right direction...
I also purchased some B-50 Complex vitamins today. I know the PRISM program recommends that you be taking them right from the start, but I definitely put them off because I didn't think I needed them. In hindsight, I think that it might have been foolish to put off taking them. They're supposed to help with metabolizing carbs, proteins, and fats, and turning them into energy. I'm hoping that I don't have any weird reactions with them, but rather that they really help me notice an improvement in my mood and in the way I metabolize the foods that I eat. *Fingers crossed*
