I weighed in yesterday to a 2.4 pound loss! I’m so happy to see losses on the scale again. To be honest, I expected more, with cutting back on soda and working out each day. But I’m still thrilled to be moving in the right direction.
Yesterday was the first deadline for my TKO Challenge, and I hit the goal dead on the nose: 5 pounds in 3 weeks for the Kickstarter round. So I am officially starting the first 5-week round now, with a deadline of September 3, to lose 10 more pounds.
My workout for today is done (upper body strength training), and I’m sure I will barely be able to move my arms tomorrow. After that, my fiance and I went to the grocery store together, and as we were piling everything up at the register, he laughed and said, “Wait a minute! All this stuff is healthy.” It was true: we had bought all kinds of fruit, and I stocked up on unsweet tea to take to my office. Quite a difference from what we used to buy.
Yesterday I spent nearly 2 hours cleaning the house, after my cardio workout. I didn’t intend for it be such a huge project, but as I vacuumed, I thought, “Hey, why not rotate the living room rug?”, which involved moving furtniture, which turned into sweeping where the furniture usually sits, cleaning where the rug usually is, vacuuming all the furniture (why not give these vacuum cleaner attachments a workout?) and all sorts of other brilliant ideas. Oh well, I’m sure it was a great calorie burn, and now the house is insanely clean, so score!
