Week 1 (Challenge 2) - 139.4


139.4

Ya, no big deal.
Okay, huge deal.

So life got really intense the past few months and I haven’t been able to stay accountable online. But as you can see, I have been staying on track in real life.

So I got down to about 138 for my friend’s wedding. I honestly don’t think I have ever looked so good in my life. But once the wedding was over, I was tired. I kept working out but stopped watching my diet. I’m pretty happy though. It has been about four months and I have maintained my weight loss.  I work out with a trainer doing resistance and strength training pretty consistently, twice a week. My biggest problem right now is watching my diet while in school and getting some more cardio in my regimen.

So here is my challenge. My birthday is in exactly a month. By my birthday I want to lose ten pounds and reach a weight of 128. That’s right, I’m aiming for the dreamy 120’s!

Now this may sound like a perfectly attainable goal but my body has pretty much hit a major plateau at this point. Every pound I lose is going to be just as hard as losing 10 pounds back when I was heavier.  Argggghhh!

At least I know I can do this! I just need to put my best foot forward and START.  So let’s see if I can start the challenge right by losing two pounds this week. I’m not going to lie. I’ m absolutely petrified. It is going to be a lot of work and I am going to have to work around a lot of other aspects in my life. My birthday is the week before finals and honestly school is usually my #1 priority. However, my health should be my #1 priority.  

Leggo.
