This morning was a bittersweet one for me. I and all of the other 100 Day Heart Challenge Participants weighed in, took measurements, and had our blood drawn. These factors along with blogging and along with reporting to Traci each week are our "measurement of success", however we won't get the results until Tuesday. I'm disappointed in the fact I've only lost 10 pounds (at least according to my home scale), but I'm very happy with how strong and with how fit I feel I've become.
Part of me is relieved to have the challenge over, but another big part of me is worried about no longer having a trainer and about not have to report weekly to Traci. I'm worried about making a backward slide; what can I say I just love food, and I love cooking. The nutrition classes were helpful, and I'm really hoping I can get better at intuitive eating, so I won't fall back into old habits.
I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to compete in this challenge. I know I was very lucky to have had this program. I was extremely lucky to be paired up with a great fitness trainer who always knew how to push me to my limits. I appreciated the comradery I felt from the other participants; it was comforting for me to know the others were like me and it wasn't a cake walk for anybody. Everyone worked really hard towards their goals.
I'm looking forward to the closing dinner on Tuesday night where we will be presented with our results...if I'm brave enough I may just share my results on this blog.
