Week 6 ending?

Wow, I'm halfway through the program and continue to feel great and continue to see improvements. Not much happening on the scale this week but continuing to feel "skinny" and seeing differences in my body shape. The fat that is hanging on continues to get looser and looser which is a good sign. Not feeling overly motivated this week but still sticking with it. Not only am I sticking with it but even more importantly, my daughter is! Mallory's body is really responding well to the workouts and even though she might not be as dedicated on the eating side, she sure is making a difference with her workout routines. I love the fact that I'm making a difference in, not only my life, but my daughters as well. I pray for her to maintain a healthy lifestyle her entire life so she doesn't battle this later in life like I've had to. It isn't easy to lose weight and get fit and much easier to stay in shape. I wish I could stand at the top of the mountain and reach everyone early in life as to how much of a difference it will make. It's so easy to stay in shape....just 20 minutes or so 3-5 days a week! As opposed to dropping weight and getting your shape back....30-40 minutes a day 6 days a week and maintaining a strict diet with no indiscretions while working on the weight loss. EVERYTHING you put in your mouth counts and it is easy to slip in a bite of this or that thinking it's only 50 calories here or there. When you're maintaining weight and working out, it isn't a big deal but when you are losing weight it matters! Again, I don't believe in counting calories but I do believe in eating clean and eating completely clean can be hard some days! Looking forward to reaching my goal and nothing is going to get in the way no matter how long it takes. RAGRAI is going on this week and one of my friends is making a few of the days trip. I'm totally inspired to start training to do it next year. I should be at my goal by then and in great physical shape. Hopefully, you'll be hearing from me in a year on how I made the Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa! 500+ miles of pure fun!
