Week Deux

Here I am faced with my second week of the Carmichael via Justin training plan. Week one went pretty good. Everytime I post about a workout, JP has also asked me to do a Core Workout. 15 minutes. I have to ask him if he is kidding (but I doubt it) because I can only hold those poses for about 15 seconds!! He says when I have "mastered the excercises" he will give me more. Seriously, the entire thing takes me about 7 minutes....my core sucks. BUT when I was at the pool yesterday, my guts felt tight and stronger than ever before, so I will work my way up to the 15 minutes I am supposed to be doing. I need to go bikini shopping again to keep my motivation keen on this one!!
And I jumped onto the scale yesterday at the pool. I do not own a scale because I know I am the type of person that will get onto it every day and then be dissappointed when the number is not what I had hoped. I try to remember to get onto it every week after my swim. So here is MY number....gulp....stagger....hesitate....spit....159.5 Let's see where it goes after all this training is done!!

Courage! Never fear, that number will get smaller every week. I'm finding that the commitment to stand on the scale every week, and publish the number is giving me all sorts of incentive.

Thanks Keith!! It is working already...I wanted to head down to get a chocolate bar today after lunch and nope...I want that number to be smaller next Monday!! Will see how it goes!
