Discouragement and Motivation
So this week brought some discouragement and motivation. I've set up my own workout routine for the month of October since I have the Marine Corps Ball on Nov 1st and some routines involve extreme strength training since muscle burns fat quicker. Okay well since I originally had like no muscle, I've been gaining muscle and losing fat. I became obsessed with the scale and would weigh myself every morning and night. I would get discouraged when I saw the number go up after a strength training day and I had to constantly tell myself "it's muscle, it's muscle" in order to not just throw in the towel and give up. I then get the number out of my head and look in the mirror. I'm starting to look amazing. My stomach is slimming, I'm losing the fat and cottage cheese right under my ass, my face and neck is slimming and my arms are starting to shape. It has only been like 2 weeks, but if you work your ass off like I do, that is all you need in order to start seeing a change. I have about 3 more weeks until the ball. I'm going to feel so sexy/beautiful when I'm there and my boyfriend won't be able to keep his hands off of me.
