Progress

Well I am down to 276.5 pounds. That's a total of 21.5 pounds lost in a little more than a month and a half. I haven't really had any DRIVE this week. Not for the gym, not for class, not really for anything. I have like negative energy. I talked to my friend Monica this week and she just recently started using "Shakeology." She told me how she's lost weight, gained muscle and she has really had such an increase in her energy it's been unreal. I decided to try it. It was $175 for the "21-Day Fix" challenge program, and I purchased it today. The tagline states you can lose up to 15 pounds during the challenge. I hope that it gives me both the inspiration and motivation to get back at it. My main concern is that it will actually work for me, but I won't be able to afford to continue it once the first month is done. I hope I can figure something out to make it work.

I have been pretty good at tracking all of my calories and monitoring other things like sodium, sugar, carbs and fats, but I haven't been to the gym in almost a week. I can't keep that up. I want to get healthy and that doesn't mean JUST losing weight. I want to be active and strong. I have to commit to making it to the gym and working on my Couch 2 5k program. I am also going to be doing the workouts that come with the challenge for the next 21 days. After that's done I may go back to training for Mudderella.

I hope to post some update pics this weekend (Maybe Monday? as I'm hoping to hit my first major goal of 275 pounds). But for now I have a Cert of Trust to draft for work and a Motion to Compel to draft for class.
