Looking better, feeling better...but not better enough
So we're in week six of our "Lose 10 pounds in 10 weeks" challenge and I'm only down five pounds.
This officially puts me behind the eight ball, against the wall, under the gun and in various other uncomfortable metaphoric positions.
But you know...I'm not so bothered by this.
Why? Because today I'm wearing a pair of black jeans that I was two inches too fat for when we began the challenge. Because my gut is noticeably smaller. Because I think I'm feeling better, sleeping better and functioning better since we began this challenge because my body's running on better fuel -- more fruits and vegetables, more water, less sugar and fat.
And isn't that what it's all about?
No.
No it's not.
That's all very nice, but this is about losing ten pounds in ten weeks.
And I'm going to do it if it effing kills me.
