I just finished Week 2. At the end of Week 1, I hit 140 on the scale. And I hadn't been taking my nutrition that seriously. The monotony of the meals was killer. I was happy with the pounds lost.
This week has been dumb. I have been taking my meal plans as a guideline and not a rule. This does not equal success. I am aware. I need to get focused. My workouts have been 1.5-2 hours long. Jaqui has me doing half marathon training plus a ridiculously crazy weights workout for amazon women. I messaged her that I can't deal. I'm not trying to be Barbie. I'm just trying to be toned and get my run on. The plan she sent me for Week 3 looks better. I'm in and out in an hour.
Oh, and my left knee hurts. It's swollen. It pops. It's painful. I can run, but it's on the cusp of a strain. I'm treating it very carefully. I'm terrified of injury, but I want to work out! Ugh.
SO.................... I just weighed in and the scale said 137.8. The moral of that story? I'm still eating clean and I'm a professional, so I just naturally know how much to eat and still lose weight even though I'm not counting calories. Expert. Level. :)
Chelsea, I'm happy to see a post up regarding phase 2. I'm in a similar situation. I'm happy with what I weigh, but I'm challenging myself to lose 4 more pounds (sounds dumb, but I've never weighed that little as an adult). So, your posts serve as great motivation!
