Again I had a very hard rowing practice, so when I got home I literally forced myself to do Level 2. I can't say I had 100% to give, but I did as much as my body could do. Now, for my rant...
I'm a third of the way done with this Shred and up until this point I have been focused, energized and excited. When though, do I begin to look as good as I feel?!!! I put on a pair of capri pants today (with wide leg might I add) that have been too tight around the belly, and I'm dying to get into them. I thought perhaps they might feel at least slightly looser... I was WRONG! I still look fat in them! So, you're probably thinking, "Ash, it's only the beginning, give it time" but hey, when I feel like I'm working my arse off (literally) I want to see that! I'm tired of feeling great about myself then having moments like this - I'm turning 30 on July 5th and really want to begin a new decade fit and lighter.
So, today I am feeling a little down. In reality, I know that if I'm consistent and continue to push hard, I will eventually see results. It just can't come soon enough!
You're doing awesome Ashley! No need to be so hard on yourself. Our rows are ridiculous workouts! Are you tracking your calories? When I decide it's time to tighten up/lose a little, tracking calories helps me the most. This is a good website for it and you can enter a goal weight/measurements as well: myfitnesspal.com. I've used a few different ones, but like this the best. Keep up the good work, you are doing awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dawn, you're right - rowing has been insane this season! I get so blah when I'm tired, which seems to be often lately. I just started writing down what I'm eating today... I agree, it's a great way to keep track and see what needs to be cut out or added.
