A little update on my progress

February 12, 2006

For all those who are freaking out at lack of weightloss, please

keep on. Actually two weeks ago I was posting on just about every

forum and group that I found about what should I do because the

scale is not moving...

I'm on C1W5D6 and I will tell you that I lost no weight the first 4

weeks. In fact I gained a pound. But guess what? I went to bed on

Monday and when I got up on Tuesday and weighed myself, I was down

5 pounds. It felt good to see it, but I didn't believe it. Well this

morning I weighed myself again and guess what? It was down another

pound!! So I guess what I'm trying to say is give your internal body

time to catch up with what you are doing.

It took me 5 weeks to see the scale drop 6 pounds (Oh yeah, I lost 2

inches in my waist and abdomen and my body fat went down 2%--

measured with Omron). I decided that I'm only going to weigh myself

once a week!! No more daily weigh in for me.

Actually, I was taking creatine for 4 weeks, and I cycled off of it

for this week. So I guess that's why I didn't see any changes.

Anyways, I decided not to continue creatine for the remainder of the

challenge. I'm not strong enough to deal with the scale staying the

same. Plus, since I started the challenge taking creatine, I'm not

really sure if it was helping me in turns of muscle recovery and

gains because I don't have anything to compare it too. A part of me

wants to stay with the creatine and just take it after workout days

because of all the great things everyone said about it. Plus, my

inspiration, Heyrman, took creatine during her challenge...I

don't know, I guess I will have to decide by Tuesday (the night time

I do weights).

Today is my free day!! I had oatmeal, scrambled eggs, and half a

grapefruit for breakfast. I've been craving a peanut butter and

jelly sandwhich so I'm going to have one for lunch. Dinner, not sure

yet, but it will be good!!

<b>

ONLY THE STRONG(MENTALLY) WILL SURVIVE! That's what I have to tell

myself. It's really the mental aspect of the challenge that is hard.

It's the fact that you keep pushing on even when you don't see

changes...
