Day #11: I weighed myself before my workout... and I've lost six pounds since starting! That's exciting! The other day I was a little discouraged by just two pounds, but six.... now we're talking! I did two miles warm-up on the treadmill and was a little more motivated to be punching the bag. I also threw in some kicks, trying to simulate what it would be like to be hitting a person. Again, this is all very new to me and perhaps it's not even close to what it will be like, but it has been very helpful. I've competed in a lot of different sports, but they were all team sports and none in which my opponents goal was to hurt me, or I to hurt them. I'm not scared, not even close. But I am nervous. I'm nervous because I don't know what it's like to walk down an aisle to a ring to music I selected and a crowd watching me. I don't know what it's like to stand in the center of said ring listening to instructions by a referee. I don't know how to celebrate after I win... though I am planning on knowing exactly what all those things feel like. For the time being, I imagine them while I am training and sometimes that helps pull me through. After my work out and then work, I went to see Chel, who helps me stick to my diet by making me an amazing fish dinner...
Day #12... and also a spinach/egg whites omelet. She's wonderful. Sometimes I find it difficult to stick to my diet when I'm not training that day. It's hard to be focused ALL the time on a particular goal, but I suppose that is what I have to do to make it happen. In a way, I have to treat it as if I am training all the time. I am definitely excited to see where the whole journey takes me. Go me!
