10/4/13 WEIGH IN - HARD WORK, DEDICATION & A FEW SCREW UPS

So this is where I left off after last week's weigh-in:

So what am I going to do differently this next week?  RE-GROUP.

Saturday: 15 Mile Long Run, Reward Day not Sabotage Day (I need to make up for this week) DONE

Monday: Boot Camp DONE
Tuesday: 3-4 Mile Short Run (I cannot seem to get this one is the past couple of weeks) DONE
Wednesday: Boot Camp DONE
Thursday: ACTIVELY coach Daughters volleyball practice, 3-4 Mile Short Run DONE
Friday: Boot Camp DONE
Saturday: 18 Mile Long Run READY FOR TOMORROW

As you can see I have completed each workout that I said I was going to do.  I definitely feel good this week knowing that each day I worked my butt off.  I am not going to sit back and say that I did everything right, but I definitely was on the right track this week.  In addition to this weeks awesome completed work-outs, my meal plan was changed slightly.  I have not gone into my entire meal layout, though I will in the coming weeks once I get through an entire cycle, this week was a High Carb week.  I believe that this accounts to what could have been a little lower number on the scale, though I am not complaining.

To be honest, I was a little worried about this week due to the fact that I was not doing the normal carb cycling that I had for the past three weeks.  This week was a reset & trick your body week.  Just like lifting weights, you have to change things up from time to time to trick your muscles.  Since I was not expecting much of a decrease, I told my wife that I needed a side by side picture to point out that it is not always the number on the scale that matters.  TAKE PROGRESS PHOTOS so that you can see the difference and not just a number on a scale.  So here are my progress photos showing my Journey1Ninety5 starting photo taken on 8/1/13 next to last nights photo taken 10/3/13.

Definitely a very GOOD change.  I am blown away by the difference you can see on the side view.  The hard work and dedication is paying off.  That person that I AM NOT is definitely melting away.

So for this morning's numbers.................oh and I am sorry that it is so blurry.................

YES!!!!!  2 lbs lost.  Even with the added carbs, bad previous week, and a couple screw ups this week, there is progress.
