My Weight Loss Journey: 8 Weeks

This has been a crazy week. I decided that since this was the last week of my 8 week challenge, I was going to push it really hard and be really good. I did succeed in that. I pushed it hard at the gym Monday - Wednesday, but then on Thursday, I had to take it slightly easier. My body was just done. I still got a good burn and did a good workout, just not as intense as earlier in the week. Food wise, I feel like a did really good. I caved slightly on Saturday when my husband brought home a dozen donuts. Not just any donuts, Krispy Cream donuts. I ate 3 over the course of the day. I have to admit, this is way better than I would have done previously, but not as good as I wanted to.

Indulgence #1 - Pizza with my family Friday night. I still stayed to just 2 pieces and actually felt really full after I ate. This is not normal for me after 2 pieces! My body is changing and adapting.

Indulgence #2 - Gotta count the donuts that I ate on Saturday. Mmmmm...but they were good.

Picture Time! I love seeing the pictures because you can tell a huge difference! They are motivating and I think anyone trying to lose weight or get in shape should do before and after pictures. I have seen so much improvement, but I have to admit, I am just at the beginning of my journey. I still have a long way to go.
