1st Check In - DANG

Due to a lack of sleep, today I started off my day grumpy. (Thank you 3.8 earthquake!) As I came in to  train with Mr. ForgedFit  himself,  I was placed on check due to my 9 minute tardiness and because I forgot my weight loss journal...blah! Thank good for my very adorable workout buddy Pepper. She put a smile on my face and eased my nervous. Why? This was my first weigh in came. As I stepped onto the scale, I stated I know I lost at least 1lbs. All I hoped for is to shed 1 lbs. Did not have high expectations, all I wanted to see is some type of weight movement.

Due to fear of disappointment, I did not want to look at the scale. In a monotone voice, Dagan said ok your done. With that tone,  it usually means that I did not do so hot. He should me last week's weight (242.5) and then he flipped to the next page and there it was. My weight. It was written (238.5).  I LOST 4 POUNDS!!! I could not believe it. I actually dropped some weight. Dagan got goose bumps and I was still in shock. Who would of think that excersise and diet would actually make you lose weight? ;)

My goal is to lose 8lbs by August 8th and I am already halfway there. In my time of victory I had to remind myself that yes it is good to celebrate, HOWEVER, I need to remember that this is just the beginning and I just have to keep on going. Even though I am doing well, I need to be careful not to revert back to my old ways. Today I was victorious in my first battle of this journey.

Like in every victory, you need to celebrate. Dagan, Pepper and I celebrated. How? Dagan kicked my butt with a medicine ball and Pepper was resting on me during wall squats! Thanks Dagan! If you are this happy now, I am scared to see you when we actually reach my goal...ouch. Love you bro!
