It seems two weeks is enough time to fully transform oneself - with the added bonus of 2-6 mile daily jogs, coupled with moderate to vigorous resistance training/weight lifting, I had lost 4 lbs in two weeks. My waist trimmed from a 29.5 to 28.5 in that same time, and with the help with a little brown bikini, I was able to gage whether I had any actual fitness gains in the past weeks.
Despite all of this, I had a piece of chocolate, poppyseed cake over the weekend, which led to a 2 day binge on all sorts of fat injested foods - 5 chocolate candy bars, 4 cupcakes, 2 slices of pizza, coldstone ice cream, in two sittings. I started both Monday and Tuesday on healthy notes, apple with non fat milk, followed by nonfat lattes from Starbucks, but by the end of both evenings, I wanted the sugar. Maybe it was the over-consumption of the foods that made me crave it more, and the more that I craved it, the less I was able to fight it off. I caved both nights, and felt awful afterwards - mentally I wanted to beat myself up for having put so much effort into getting this summer ready physique, only to have it all undone with a couple of cakes that weren't even satisfactory!
I have a strong will, and like they say, if there's a will, there's a way. I am planning to make an attempt at the gym again tonight. Let's hope the cupcakes do not call to me tonight, make that the cupcakes, pizza, cake, ice cream, or bread, and then I'll be a-ok. Just one day, and I will be home free!
