Well, it's here. It is officially week 8 of this challenge! I can't even believe 7 weeks have already gone by and we are into the last week!
These last 7 weeks have really been amazing. Let's talk about what I accomplished over these 7 short weeks.......
1) As of this morning, I completed 27 workouts at Living Lean (it would have been 32, but I missed 4 workouts the week I was sick).
2) I have not had ANY wine since January 10th - the night I weighed in for the contest I had champagne at the kick off party. I haven't had a drop of alcohol since then!
3) I have had NO McDonald's since......you know what? I'm not sure. For SURE I've had no McDonald's for these 7 weeks; but I'm thinking it's more like 9 weeks. I also don't think I've had ANY fast food (like McD's, Burger King, Wendy's, Chick fil a) in these 7 weeks either.
4) I've lost 13.2 pounds since the start of the contest and about 15 pounds since January 1st.
5) I have lost weight all but 1 week since January 1st.
6) Regardless of the program I was (am) following, I have been on program for all but 1 weekend during these 7 weeks.
We'll see what the official "end" results are at Living Lean; but regardless I am pretty stoked about what I have accomplished over these last 7 weeks. Joining this contest did exactly what I wanted it to do. I wanted it to help jumpstart my 2018 journey; to help me get right back on track after the holidays so I could continue to lose the weight I need to lose.
I looked back through my weigh in's from last year and from Jan 1st to March 7th last year I lost 7.6lbs. Between Jan 1st and March 5th this year I've lost 15.1 lbs. THAT right there makes this contest worth it. Not only did it help me get back on track, but it helped me to lose more weight in the beginning of the year then I ever have before.
I am SO close to my 1st goal I can taste it! I'm trying not to stress about how quickly the weight comes off; but MAN I want to hit that first goal. But, for the first time in a LONG time I actually believe I'm going to hit that goal. Not only that; but I believe I'm going to hit that goal in the very near future. I look forward to writing that blog post.
Stay tuned for my official end results from Living Lean on Friday!
