I've officially been on my exercise program for over a week now. I stayed up late with friends last night and didn't eat the best (pizza), but I definitely didn't go crazy. I'm sure I stayed in my calorie range (around 1700 at most), because the rest of the day, I ate well.
This morning, however, my staying up late hit me. Still, I popped in the 30 Day Shred DVD and worked out. My arms weren't too sore even with the new weights, but boy were my legs tired! I hope all the squatting I'm doing will give me some defined legs when the weight comes off them.
After I did the workout, I noticed that I can see some ab muscles, which is encouraging. Still, however, I haven't really lost any weight. In fact, I'm up a little today. Jillian says that "muscle weighs more than fat" is an excuse. That if you aren't losing pounds, than you're really not doing all that you should. So, I'm really bummed out.
I'm not going to starve myself or keep myself from eating with friends. I'm not over eating, and I'm working out hard. I really need it to start paying off soon on the scale or I may start losing motivation. I hope this really is just water weight from my womanly cycle that should start any day now.
So I guess I'll end this post with I'm still going strong, but I'm starting to lose the excitement and hope I had at the beginning. I feel the muscles building, which is great, but I need to lose the excess weight before I can show them off.
See you tomorrow for Day 9, and hopefully with a little more passion in my weightloss struggle.
