Self-Imposed 10lb Challenge

So this week I did a self-imposed 10lb Challenge.

I have worked very hard this week towards that goal:

575 Minutes aka  9.58 Hours of exercise.

I took 81,532 steps on the pedometer (considering I work at home with no commute that is a big accomplishment - last week I had 64,289)

I went to my county pool for the first time and got a pass to go 12 more times to any facility in the county.

So today I also got a manicure, pedicure and massage as a reward for pushing it this week and to take care of my body while it is going through all of these transitions. =)


Regardless of the outcome on the scale tomorrow, I:

- pushed myself to a whole new level in my workouts
- have a new level of confidence in my abilities physically
 
- loved having a short term goal and pushing towards that with what I thought it reasonably and realistically took to try to take 10lbs off in a healthy way in a week. =)
 
- feel like an athlete - training for something very important - and I plan on carrying that with me from here forward - it sure does help with the workouts. =)

I am proud that I gained more out of challenging myself than just the outcome on the scale.  It definitely has boosted my confidence in my journey. =)

So we shall see what the scale says tomorrow. =)
