I don't know why but earlier this week I started to get nervous as I started this Project 9X9. For a moment or two I thought ... can I really do this? All the comments and encouragement from so many people has been AMAZING ... I'm always shocked by the number of people who are following my progress. It's great because it really motivates me! I don't want to let anyone down but more importantly, I don't want to let myself down. Why am I thinking this, you ask? Well, let's go back to 2008 ... it was my second year of competing, and it was horrible. No matter how much cardio I did (some weekends I would walk a total of 7 hours), or how much I adjusted my diet, the weight was not coming off. I was not leaning out. One of my trainers kept telling me I was stressed. I didn't buy it. I wasn't about to stop and rest. I kept pushing. Anyway, to make a long story short ... I competed and didn't look the way I wanted to, in fact it was pretty embarrassing ... I didn't feel good at all ... my self-confidence was chewed up and spit out ... plus, I ended up with a pissed off endocrine system (aka Adrenal Fatigue. Google it.) So as I approached the scale this morning after all the work I did this week with weights, cardio, and clean eating ... I was afraid to look ... 140.5!!! I dropped 2.5 pounds in week 1 of Project 9X9! Woohoo! Yeah!
Okay ... the celebration is over ... stay focused!
