Week 8 and photo updates!

Wow, I am actually in Week # 8. This is the last week of phase three of the LiveFit Challenge. Boy, I have come a long way. I must admit that last week I was a bit discouraged; it was not a good week at all. I weighed myself and realized I gain back the two pounds I lost. Something I don't get. I thought I would have lost more weight by now, especially since I am eating well, and I am a vegetarian. I guess it is the muscle mass that I have gained.

Additionally, I was not able to work out on Friday, last week. I had a conference to attend for a paper I wrote. Before I left for the conference, I called the hotel to see if they had a fitness facility, and I was told it was mostly treadmills.

Imagine my surprise when I saw the fitness facility actually had weights! It did not matter, because I really did not have the time to work out. A big challenge was the food. For breakfast bagels and cinnamon buns were served. I got some tea without sugar. It was quite challenging. I had to eat a granola bar, thst had a good amount of sugar in it, but I had to eat. So, I felt more discouraged. Anyway, the one thing that brought me some joy was the fact that I won first place for the paper competition.

However, as promised I do have updated photos, once again taken in my bathroom =)

So let's do this:

I am now starting to see a difference and thank goodness. Because Phase three starts next week. And I will be focusing more on burning fat; however, I will still incorporate the weights. I am looking forward to it. Until next time.
