9 Weeks later...

Well I'm 9 weeks into my 12 weeks workout program and I'm happy with the results and hard work I've put into it. I'm definitely feeling more energized, stronger, healthier and happier.  After the 9th week I'm down 21 lbs but my body looks more toned than it did in the beginning. My goal isn't a number, I don't want to be obsessive with a certain number or the idea of skinny. I want to have a toned body that takes hard work and motivation. I want to eat healthy, but again, I don't want to be obsessive about counting calories, I want to have a glass of wine if I want or a cookie and enjoy it without feeling guilty about it. I just don't want to be obsessive, that's when a vicious cycle of no good would happen to me. Seeing that I used to have an issue with Bulimia, I feel there are boundaries that I need to set for myself in order to stay healthy.


Week 9 was a little different as far as working out went. I had to lay off the high amount of cardio so that I could feel rested when it came to my run on Saturday. Note to self: lay off MORE next time.
