Today is a good day:) I woke up and decided to weigh myself. I normally wait till the end of the week, regardless I am down 2 more pounds. I have lost a total of 6 pds and went down a size in my jeans. This plan is so much different that most diet plans where the goal is to just drop weight. This is a science, a carefully balanced plan with the goal being to reduce body fat and preserve lean muscle mass. It can be tricky and to be honest there are some days I don't know what the hell I am doing. I look at all the fitness magazines read the articles, research online and try to take all that info and apply what will work best for me.

So after my 2 pd loss I was so excited for my workout today! I got to the gym and saw a women practicing her "fitness" routine in the group exercise room. I have seen her a bunch of times and can tell she is training for something she is in AMAZING shape. I watched this lady who is in her mid to late 40's bounce around the room do one handed push-ups, toe touch jumps and rolls.. I was so impressed A) because I seriously doubt I could do that and B) she was at least 10 years older than me!! It also got me to wondering if I could ever do a "Fitness" Competition one day.. Who knows, at this point I just want to get through this.
