2 down 28 to go.....

Alright kids, it's been a week and a day and I'm pretty proud of myself I must say so! I completed the ab workout and kept up my cardio,  I even through in some additional cardio. I've also been eating healthy (admittedly I did cheat a day a little...ok a lot! But c'mon, it's only been a week, have faith right?) and feeling a lot better! I was down on myself for a day because, even though I know it doesn't work like that in my heart of hearts, I expected almost imidiate results. Then I remembered this:

It takes 4 weeks for you to see your body changing.
It takes 8 weeks for your friends and family, and it takes 12 weeks for the rest of the world.

It's not going to be easy, but I can honestly say I am already seeing and feeling the difference. Maybe that's in my head and maybe it's not, I'm choosing to say that it's not.
Today I began with a 9am run resulting in 2 miles done in 20 minutes, 7 minutes faster than last week. I went to work where I snacked on a Luna bar, cottage cheese, an apple, celery, and a bell pepper. After all that I went to donate plasma and make some more moneys (anything helps right?), that's when I saw results.
I'm not going to state my starting weight until I'm down 10 lbs from where I was, but that's only 6 lbs away from where I'm at now and I'm feeling pretty damn good about it! Why? Because I'm doing something about what I have the ability to change, I'm taking control  and it's actually paying off.
I have now just finished a delicious dinner of baked chicken seasoned with lemon pepper, boiled asparagus, and salad topped with cottage cheese instead of ranch and man I am stuffed! And it wasn't even that many calories! (I'm also watching my intake to see where I take in the most from using My Fitness Pal-love that app!)
Now, it is going to be off to water aerobics for an hour of extra cardio!
P.s.
Any of you Logan people wanting to join me in water aerobics can!  It is $2 per time or $20 for a punch pass I do believe, but if you want I can find out those prices for sure (the $20 one is definite but the $2 could be $3 and I could not be remembering right).
Be happy, be healthy!
