42 Days to Fit: Week 2 Journal

 

 

I can't believe I've completed Week 2 of 42 Days to Fit already! 

 

 

How I did during Week 2:

 

*I lost 1 pound (Although I wish it was more, I know I'm building muscle)

 

*I lost another inch around my belly and an inch around my hips

 

*The strength training was much easier this week, therefore I enjoyed it more

 

*I ran 5 miles on Saturday! :)

 

*I had one cheat.  And I blame my oldest daughter.

 

So on Sunday, my married daughter, Cheyenne, came over for our usual Sunday family lunch.  She announced that she would making Caramel Frappuccinos for everyone.  I knew I would not be having one, and that was fine. 

 

Weeeeeeell, she wasn't having any of that!  She walked over to me with a picture-perfect-magazine-worthy Caramel Frappuccino and set it in front of me.  Quickly, my other daughter, Celeste, reminded Cheyenne that I could not have one.  Cheyenne insisted.  I refused!  I told her that I had committed to this and I was sticking with it.  Well, wouldn't you know....that's when the begging began. 

 

"Pleeeeeeaaaaassssse, Mom!  Just try it!"

 

Being the good mom that I am...and seeing that this could change the whole course of the universe if I did not try it, I had to do my motherly duty and drink my daughter's most perfect Caramel Frappuccino.  I'm telling you, she practically twisted my arm!  Really!

 

So here's how I justified my cheat.  Since we are now allowed ONE dessert this week, I will fore go my dessert.  And honestly, it hasn't been difficult to avoid treats at all.  And kidding aside, I wasn't even tempted by the Frapp.  It was delicious, but I didn't feel like I needed to have it at all. 

 

Today begins Week 3.  I'm looking forward to it because I am already seeing results.  My body is slowly changing and I can see it.  Hooray!

 

Are you still with me?
