Well, I haven't lost as much weight as I would like at this point in my heart challenge. However, I received so many compliments this past weekend from friends and family about how much better I'm looking. I'll take that any day! I've decided to skip the scale, so I focus on becoming strong/fit - not a number.
I feel extremely fortunate to have a great trainer - Alex is the best. He motivates me and pushes me to my limits. I will miss him once this challenge is over. He's helped me to be able gain my running confidence. I was able to successfully complete a 10K a few saturdays ago when Santaquin had its Orchard Days.
Currently, my job has been very demanding and stressful. I'm learning how to deal with that without turning to food. I haven't always been successful, but I've always been able to get myself back on track. I'm learning how to be kind to myself - I've always been so hard on myself. If I've ever made a food mistake or if I've skipped an exercise then I've told myself I've ruined myself permanently. I'm now more realistic, and I know that one or two bad days isn't the end all.
