5 weeks in!

This will be a short post, but I'm still making great progress with my training!

I'm down 13 pounds from where I started (super exciting!), and while I don't know my exact body fat loss (Amanda has the body fat reader in her car, which has been in the shop for 2 weeks since she was in an accident, so she hasn't been able to get it), I see the results, and that's good enough for me.

I was trying on clothes at Macy's yesterday and actually looked at my body in an entirely different way. It's no longer just about looking "thinner"-- it's about looking healthier, and I definitely do. My waist is much slimmer, and my arms are getting really toned. Still working on my lower abs and legs, but they'll get there eventually.

Had lunch with my Mom and grandma yesterday, and while my grandma doesn't understand the point of all this (she "used to eat donuts made with lard, and [she's] still alive"), my mom was impressed with my progress and seemed motivated to take on a healthier lifestyle herself. I hope she does!

I think the real test will be bathing suit shopping in the next couple weeks. Put-in-Bay is just 3 short weeks away... can't wait!!
