Day Off

Week 1 down and only 7 more to go! I already feel my body getting smaller. I won't step onto the scale until next Monday though. At the start of the program I figured it was best to weigh myself every other week instead of weekly. I've had many many problems in the past (and I know I'm not the only one) by stepping on the scale after week 1 and losing a lot of weight, being inspired I work my butt off in week 2 and sometimes gain a pound......ouchy. So I figure weighing every two weeks should nix that problem especially if I'm working out and eating right, the scale should be kind...

It hasn't been easy though. My digital scale is right by the toilet in the bathroom, and whenever I'm in there it looks at me, smiling with a knowing face. So I stick my tongue out at it and go about my business.

Even though I'm not doing an Insanity workout today, I decided to focus the day on cleaning. Lots of calories can be burned while cleaning. I found a page on SELF that calculates the calorie burn based on weight and time which is really nifty. 

Well off to clean I go. I hope everyone's having a great weekend and for my fellow Americans out there a great 4th of July! I'm going to leave some inspirational weight loss images I found on the internet as I go though :)
