The Fastest Loser

If you follow me on facebook, you have probably noticed that I have been posting about exercising lately. This is because of the Fastest Loser: Grossnicklaus Edition. Three weeks ago, my mom and I started a race to lose 8 lbs. Here's how it's going:

IT'S FREAKING HARD!! It's one thing to exercise, and it's another to cut calories, but it's a monster to take on both. Here's a few visuals to help you understand my feelings:
 

 

Overall though, I think it's going pretty well.

Week 1: minus 4 lbs

Week 2: plus 1 lb

Week 3: minus 2 lbs

Week two I broke down and ate fast food... twice. It wasn't my finest moment(s). It's AMAZING how bad fast food is. I even got a McWrap and the calorie count was not that much better than a burger.

Anywho, the few rules I'm living by right now:

1. DO NOT eat when you're not hungry.

2. STOP eating when you are no longer hungry.

3. NO soda. Ever.

4. Run every other day RELIGIOUSLY.

I don't feel that much different on the inside, but I can definitely tell on the outside. Love handles are shrinking and lower belly shrinking. (yayyy!!) I guess all I needed was a little motivation.
