Its funny, after the first week, which admittedly is the toughest, I am just going about my every day life normal. Just a bit more educated in what I choose to put in my body. I admit, this past week, I haven't been perfect and I am tweaking so to speak, how I am eating or what I am eating.
I am working out almost every day. On Monday, I started 3-2-1 Shred with Jillian Michaels...OMG! She is brutal! My legs are still burning. But, tomorrow I will be back over Tammy's to do it again. Every other day I plan on doing that workout and alternating it with my Elliptical. Today, was a very busy day and I knew that the only time I had to work out was very early in the morning. So I did what I never thought I would ever do, I woke up early, before I HAD to and got my butt on the elliptical. As tough as it was, it felt great!
I am sleeping better, and waking up not tired and ready to start my day. I made a fantastic dinner tonight with a recipe that I got from Tammy I will share. It is worth a try and so filling!
Thanks again for all the kind words and boosts of confidence!
Much love! Michele
