This is so cool. Last week, I was 1/4 of the way through this program...and now, just one week later, I'm already 1/3 of the way done! :)
This week was a really hard one for me. I honestly think my low weigh-in at the end of last week put a damper on things. But, I pushed on true and didn't cheat! Except the one bite of Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos with Lime-Cilantro Ranch dipping sauce that we tried for dinner last night. :)
Seriously, I struggled last week. There were SO many times that I just didn't want to keep doing this! I honestly don't mind the workouts. But I miss eating. I mean REALLY miss eating! If anything, this program has really opened my eyes to the relationship I have with food. I miss rewarding myself, or celebrating things. Because I feel like I can't adequately do either of those things without something delicious to eat!
And then I felt like all of this sacrifice and hard work wasn't really doing anything. I know, stupid, right? The numbers don't lie! But I worried that maybe I was just growing smaller, but staying as disproportionate as I've been. Does that make sense? But again, I pushed on true. I'm going to see this thing through and see where it takes me.
Funny story: Monday was rough anyway because of that stinking weigh-in. But I thought the silver lining would be a new set of meals for the week! I was optimistic as I blended up my pumpkin spice shake, but had the hardest time choking it down. Seriously, I think I literally gagged the last bit down! I figured I was out of luck for the week at that point. But then Tuesday morning I happened to glance at the expiration date on my milk. Yeah...turns out the shake is just fine without spoiled milk! :)
So, all that being said, I'm feeling better now. I'm getting a lot of comments from people about how thin I'm looking, and that means a lot. And I really can tell a difference if I don't think about it too hard! ;)
Besides, the numbers don't lie, right? :)

Pictures! I'm sure you look amazing, maybe I'll get out of this nasty Utah cold and into some warm(er) SoCal sun!
That is fantastic Katie!! Seriously, you are MY inspiration of dedication! I know what you mean about the relationship with food thing..... It is almost physically painful if I can't get what I want sometimes but.... Seriously, when you wake up in the morning after a hard food day and realize you made it through, don't you feel so GREAT!! And you think, eh, it's over and I can do that again! (Most mornings anyway) or after a rad weigh in like that!! How awesome!!!!
You really look fantastic!
Thank you for the inspiration!
P.S. I had to just smile when I read about your milk shake thing! How horrible that you had to go through four whole days of that! You really are a dedicated trooper!! :)
I'm so impressed! You're my hero! :)
