Week 5

Time for another update (past time really...but better late than never!)

I am still attempting to progress through the 10 week Challenge. I have lost a few pound and have tried hard to stick to my exercise routine and healthy food intake. However, I'm feeling a bit challenged as I head into this week because of being really sick the last few weeks (thus not getting as much exercise) and because I was sick, I didn't feel like cooking...so now I'm trying to get back on track with healthy meals again. I will also admit to a few splurges here and there. My birthday meal AND our anniversary meal were totally worth the splurge!! =)

So this week it's all about sticking to it. This is the whole thing about exercise and eating being a lifestyle - just because you've had a few rough weeks doesn't mean you've failed...it simply means you've had a few rough weeks. Making it a lifestyle choice, just means you pick back up and get to it instead of giving up. So this is where I am this week.

Short of being sick the last few weeks, I have really felt MUCH better. More energetic, more comfortable in my own body and clothes and all around healthier. I still have a long way to go, but finally seeing some results and progress will do wonders to your motivation to just keep going!
