Bittersweet


Down 2.6 pounds this week!    I'm grateful for the loss. God's grace has definitely been helping me.   I've been committing each day, each workout, each meal to Him and the results are coming.  

I'm just being real now... 2.6 pounds is a good loss, but with that loss came feelings of weakness, prolonged soreness throughout the week and one of the days I was just hungry all day... even while eating 2500 calories.    

Every 2 weeks the exercises change with the fit2fat2fit program I'm doing.  This week was week one of a new routine.  So basically I was setting a baseline for next week.  My body was just really sore from the new exercises and my recovery time has been slow.  I really like pushing myself, going all out in my exercises, and it was hard doing that while feeling weak.  

So for this coming week, I'm probably going to increase my calories by about  300 cals on workout days for more energy, faster recovery time and to make sure I'm not losing muscle mass and strength.  I'm looking forward to this coming week and seeing how my body responds to the additional calories.  I'm continually thanking God for His grace, it's more than enough.
