Though today’s entry is very “pat myself on my back”, I’m willing to do it here so that YOU can believe in yourself too.  I believe that being proud of your accomplishments is an important part of the success cycle.

When I began this new journey two weeks ago I was hoping to achieve great things with my workout program, but I never dreamed the results would be SO DRAMATIC so quickly.

To what do I attribute my lost inches ? I mentioned last week what I thought the first week’s results were directly related to, and this week  I think it’s a winning combination of a few things I’ve continued to do right:

1)  I’ve have written down everything that I’ve eaten.  EVERYsingleTHING.  Primarily, that means that I have NOT gone off track on my food ingestion.  In addition, over the last two weeks, I’ve stayed away from peanut butter…a HUGE “can’t eat just one tablespoon” food for me.  I honestly think I was eating a third of a jar of peanut butter before I began this program two weeks ago.

2)  I have Strength Trained three times a week and done 19 minute Interval Cardio Routines twice a week.  In total, I “exercised” about 3 hours and 40 minutes a week.  Not a huge time commitment compared to the 168 hours that we are all allotted per week.  It has honestly given me a fresh new energy and pepped up my emotional well being.  I have a purpose driven goal: 1)Leading by example to help others reach their fat loss goals and 2) Fitting into some pretty small clothes by September 24th.

Purpose driven living is the only way to live and to achieve your goals.  When you have a purpose, and it’s truly important to you, you will do WHATEVER it TAKES to reach your mission.  My mission both personally and professionally is clear to me:

To Educate, Entertain and Inspire others to a

 Healthy Weight and More Content Llife.

‘Nuff said…now onto the FUN STUFF!  After all, a picture’s worth a thousand words…

Week Two Results:

Jeans:

 Black Dress:

Black Pants:

Goodness me, this is NOT the look I’m “going for”…but, they zip.  I’ll keep working on ridding myself of the dreaded (and dreadfully awful looking) Muffin Top.  After all, toppling muffins is what I’m all about at Muffin Toppled Enterprises, Inc. !

 

Red Dress:

Sigh. Is the right side ever to be joined in marriage to the left side of the zipper across the enormous abyss of MY back?  This one seems WAY out of reach without my undergoing a “ribectomy”…. three and three quarter inches to go… and NO elasticity. Still, lots of inches down, FOR SURE! Only time will tell, and I’m coming up with a Plan B Just in Case!

Yay!  Week two down…Week three looms!  And I look forward to hearing and watching YOUR progress…YOU CAN DO THIS TOO!  Have a fantabulous week!
