Week 4

So this is the beginning of week four....we are almost halfway through the program :) Although it has been REALLY tough, it feels like it went by pretty fast! We are making better food choices every day than we would have before this program.

Last night (Sunday) me & Mandy started to panic a little bit about the weigh in! We were both feeling a little bloated so we decided we needed a last minute sweat fest. Now, if you have ever worked out with Mandy then you know that she sweats on a whole 'nother level. Its like a 900 lb woman walking through 115 degree weather....its crazy! We will be doing something for 2 seconds and her hair will be wet, but hey its workin' for her! Sweat it out sister :) Anyway, we decided to go to Mt. Rubidoux and go for a quick hike. We decided this like 15 minutes before sunset so by the time we got there it was getting dim out. We pushed ourselves through the steep trail on the mountain and when we got to the top it felt great. What didnt feel great were the tricep dips and push ups we did when we got there :) Once we headed down I was so glad that we did it, i felt better already! That was until we realized that it was getting DARK very quick. About halfway down it started to get so dark that we couldnt really see in front of us. It was SO scary. The "baby" snake we saw on our way up was suddenly in the front of Mandy's mind, and I swore there was a serial killer hiding behind a tree. Between the both of us we got really creeped out. After threatening to take out my "razor blade", hearing lots of movement in the bushes and pretty much running and screaming the whole way down, I was happy to be at my car :) Needless to say we wont be going on anymore nighttime hikes, but it was still a fun experience. When I got home i felt refreshed and was not feeling too terrible about the weigh in looming the next morning.

So this morning came and when I woke up I was pretty much dreading the scale....let's face it, it has not been my friend lately! The alarm went off, i cussed under my breath, thought seriously about going back to sleep and got up. When I got to body back i I saw the scale and wanted to fake an illness to go back home! But i got on it anyway.....here are this weeks results.

Nat: -3.8 lbs this week, 7 lbs total
Mandy: -2.4 lbs this week, 8.8 lbs total

We both had a really great week! I am very nervous that my body is going to remain in this really annoying pattern of loss-gain-loss-gain, but hopefully it will begin to act normal and let me have a loss ;)

XOXO,

Nat
