So a friend of mine on Facebook, Rachel Mac, posted this status "I'm making a commitment to track EVERYTHING I eat (and all my workouts) for the next sixteen days. I'm also taking progress pictures every 4 days. Hold me to it!" The replies to that status quickly turned into "who's in??!!" So, I replied "I'm in!" and that I would blog about it. I don't think I'll take pictures because at my weight I don't think you'd really see a difference in that short amount of time - but it will help hold me accountable for the next 16 days at least.
When I was at the gym last night it was so hard to stay focused for some reason. I was still somewhat sore from the night before so it made the work out even harder. I do the elliptical for 20 minutes at different level intervals and I never look at how much longer I have. Well, I was so worn out that I looked last night and I was only 8 minutes in! I wanted to quit so bad but I kept pushing thru - I would remind myself how guilty I would feel after I left the gym had I quit. One other thing that pushed me were the words "Go Big or Go Home" that I kept repeating to myself.
Beginning today and for the next 16 days I will update this blog entry.
