Well, after my last post about the struggles I've been facing, it's time to dive into an update on my training and tonight's weigh-in!
I had a very intense make up session on Friday with Adrian and two other team members. I was so sore all weekend from it that everytime I raised my arms to reach for something or to stretch, I had no choice but to think of Adrian. I think he does that on purpose! I still feel some of the burn in my triceps depending on how I stretch and I have no doubt that is Adrian's fault! Chantal also had us doing a very intensive upperbody work out on Saturday morning and I'm so glad that is over. Doing the arms two days in a row was exhausting.
Tonight we trained with another trainer, Christie. She kept us very busy and working as a team. It was different, fun and a great workout. I'm exhausted again! But the part I was kind of dreading after last week was the weigh-in. It went so terribly on Thursday night that I wasn't expecting much today (specially being that it was only 5 days instead of a full week). Well, I surprised myself...
I have lost another 4 lbs since Thursday! I am so pleased. I really needed that extra boost and I feel great! I have now lost a total of 19.2 lbs, which is 6.26% of my total body weight, in only 4 weeks. This program is amazing and I know that I could never do this on my own. Being a part of the program helps me to remain accountable and I am so grateful to my donor for giving me this chance. I officially weigh less than I have in over a year.
We have several fun events planned for the Biggest Loser group over the next 2 weeks. Tomorrow night is a food prep course and Thursday at training we will be separated into groups and will be having a challenge to win kitchen raids (I really could use that to get my family on track with me). Next week on Tuesday we will have our weigh-ins and measurements and then next Wednesday we have an amazing night out in a limo to a surprise location where we will learn how to order healthy at a restaurant. I can't wait! I think I'd better buy a new outfit though...
Two weeks ago when we did our first trip to Green's Creek hill, I had mentioned that we took a group photo. I finally have it so I thought I would include it tonight. We've all come so far even since then and look different already. I'll try to get some updated training photos of myself for a post in the near future.
Goodnight and God bless.
