I successfully finished my first week back on my program, and I’m proud to say that I’ve done really good, I’ll know just how good tomorrow when I get on the scale, but for the most part I ate pretty clean, I’ve been working out like crazy. After seeing a picture of 5lbs of fat compared to 5 lbs of muscle, I decided to do a lot of strength training this week, so my only concern is that my muscles are retaining water, and I’ll gain a lil weight, but I’m not too worried about it. I’m limited with my cardio, because I don’t have a good pair of shoes, but I ordered new ones last week, and they should hopefully be in the mail tomorrow or the day after, once I get them, I plan to once again attempt to add jogging into my work out routine.
It’s weird how fast strength training works, it’s been about three weeks of really watching what I eat and working out, but this past week, I noticed more toning in my legs, and a little bit in my abs. I tried on a pair of pants that are too small for me a few weeks ago, and I plan to use those to gauge my success, because I feel like the scale can be a little deceiving especially when you’re lifting weights, hopefully in a few weeks they’ll start to fit a little better!
But I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the scale is nice to me tomorrow!!!
