Wowzers!

I'm down 4.5 lbs today (206 lbs). I think that's the biggest loss I've had in one day. I'm sure it was a huge shock to my system, going from french fries, pizza, and burgers to eating healthily. My metabolism is still working as if I'm eating 4000 calories a day. It's weird because over night, I could almost feel my body losing weight. I couldn't sleep either. That's happened before at times I've lost a great amount over night. And if that's not motivation, I don't know what is. Now more than ever, I want to stick with it. I can't wait to see what will happen over the next couple days while my metabolism is still working at rapid speeds.

I stumbled upon a workout program last night when I was mindlessly surfing the internet. It's called The 30 Day Shred by The Biggest Loser trainer, Jillian Michaels. I read about 50 reviews on the 20 minute workout and it seems extremely tough but doable. I'm going to go pick it up today and hopefully start day one today during the boy's afternoon nap. I'm nervous but excited at the same time. That's one more thing I'll be adding to this blog. I'll be tracking my results and letting everyone know each day just how sore I am!

I'll write more in this post as the day goes on, about how I'm feeling and what I'm struggling with. Here's to a new day!

Oh, and I posted my food journal from yesterday, but I never did eat that kettle corn. I put it on there, but then got busy and forgot. So I really only ate 24 points. I'm not going to change it though.

4:00 pm: I'm feeling good. I have much more energy than I did yesterday. My stress level feels lower too and I'm having much more patience with my kids. Now, off to go buy the 30 day shred!!!

Okay, so I'm an idiot... I just bought the workout DVD only to come home and find that all three levels of The Shred are available on Comcast 'on-demand'. Looks like we'll be making another trip to Target tomorrow to return it. Still feeling good!
