I am a challenge junkie!

It's true and thank god for it!

I just finished B.E.A.C.H and I think my team came in first!!! Not official but I have a feeling!! I lost 4 pounds in 4 weeks, which is stellar for me. Today is the first day of the weight lifting challenge and I just got back from lifting (it sounds so athletic, lol) in the gym. First time in the gym in almost a month. I am realizing that the changes I have made e.g. keeping a food diary, counting carbs. fat and protein, mindful eating, exercise as a routine and not an exception are all becoming rather ordinary. And that is a very good thing indeed. It has taken almost a year but for the first time in my life these behaviors feel like they are ingrained rather than alien. It's still early days but change is definitely occurring.

Weight Lifting Challenge
Worked arms and chest for 30 mins today. Made an appt. with my old trainer for Friday to take measurements and to do a whole body workout. Tomorrow I do legs!
