Week Five - Stronger
I’d be lying if I said this was getting even a little bit easier. Every day is a struggle to get out of bed to drag myself to the gym. The difference this time— I’m doing it. Well, if I’m honest, Jason kicks me out of bed, but I’m not just grabbing my pillow and curling up on the floor. I’m getting my ass dressed and out the door by 5am.
I skipped the weigh-in last week because I sensed I had gained and I didn’t want to discourage myself. That meant that I fully committed to a getting on the scale today. Just as I suspected, the weight loss has stalled a bit. I’m at 258, so 11 lbs down.
While the weight hasn’t melted away, I’m getting stronger. I’m pushing myself a little further every day and just this weekend I upped the weight on all the machines I’ve been using in circuit training. Even more importantly, I put on a pair of jeans that I’ve not squeezed into for about a year. I’m sure the scale will show progress soon enough.
So this week’s playlist song is from Kanye—STRONGER.
