Week 5 Report and Weigh-in

Wow, 5 weeks down. I hit a wall again this week called the FLU. Oh man, it just never lets up. There is always something keeping me from doing what I want to do...but I made it through. I missed three workouts but oh well, this is life and I'm going to just keep going. (See my Sunday Post about Consistency!) My weight dropped to about 156 when I was in the middle of the FLU so I am happy that I was just able to re-hydrate and keep it down a little.

I want to make a point that this journey for me is NOT about the numbers. But the numbers are a good way to measure my progress. I don't have some magical number that I want to weigh. I just want to feel good, feel healthy, and feel light.

As for food I need to do a separate post on that. I am eating a lot of food, just good foods. I could probably lose weight faster if I cut my calories more, but I am nursing and trying to make a change that I can live with forever. So I'm following Michael Jordan's advice.

"I just eat enough to FLY!!!"

I hope that these posts aren't annoying. I think that they are playing a BIG role right now in my motivation and success. It is amazing how many times a day I think...oh boy, make a good choice, you have to weigh yourself on Monday and the whole world will know if you hit your goal.

Changes I've noticed... 

Physical: I felt pretty crappy this week due to the flu, but I buttoned up some jeans that  I couldn't fit in before. Awesome. I am getting around so much easier. I don't think about my knees, hips, back at all anymore. 5 weeks of any kind of torture is worth that my friends.

Mental: I hate being sick, but I didn't lose my head and I couldn't wait to get better and get back in the gym. (Who am I?)

Spiritual: I've been spending A LOT  of time in my scriptures this week and WOW I am feeling so full of light and inspiration.
