How did I miss two days...already?

Hello,

It's check-in day, really? It came pretty fast and so did my desire to quit. However, I haven't my goal is to stick with it even with this shoulder injury. In addition, I have not got my sheets to go with ChaLEAN Extreme to keep track of the weight that I am lifting. So, I feel like this coming week will go extremely better.

I have decided to meal prep this weekend for the week. As I learned a lot about myself, this past week. More importantly, I learned during my conference about how we as human have a tendency not to savory. We rush through things and for me. It's food. I can honestly say, I know I must know why I am the way I am with food deep down inside, but I guess I haven't wanted to really know or care to know or maybe subconsciously my mind is unable to handle the reason. I am not sure how to get at it.

However, I am hopeful as I go on this journey I will be able to address it. Now here what we've been waiting to see results from week 1...slow clap please.

Neck: 15"
Chest: see previous post
Rt. arm:15 (flexed muscle)
Lt. arm:14.5(flexed muscle)
Waist: 52"  (at belly button)
Hip:55"
Rt. Thigh: 31"
Lt. Thigh: 31"
Rt. Calf: 18" (seated)
Lt: Calf 19" (seated)

weight: 285.6

Wow, remarkable results so far. I have lost some inches. Honestly, if I was just relying on the scale. I would have seen this week as a complete failure. As the scale would not have reflected my exercise. It is so true that the scale doesn't show the whole story. I am proud of myself.  I was able to make up one of the days this morning and will be making up the second day missed shortly after this posting. I will be completing tomorrow's workout in the evening to allow my body some time to rest. Pushing play. I leave you with this...

Until next time,
Many Blessings :)

Did my shoulder hold up? Injury already?

I am a day late and a dollar short. Yesterday, I was extremely tired. I have to say this journey has been more about pushing play so far than eating well. Don't get me wrong, we all know that if I really want to see real change the eat has to get under control. As they say, Roman wasn't built in a day and neither was this thick layer of fat. I am trying to be understanding with myself and with my new workout regimen. I've essentially gone not working out to an extreme workout regimen. Thus, my mind has slip into the mode of I can eat more because I am working out. We know this is NOT true.

For example this morning, I ate my breakfast only to still feel hungry. So, I encourage myself to drink water and I did. However, the bag of potato chips in my drawer was calling my name and stomach. Naturally, I gave in. It tasted oh so good, but reality set in. Would I rather have chips today and fat tomorrow? No, so the bag closed immediately! I will have to work extremely hard to get my eating under control. That will be next week goal.
