Week 3: Getting Excited!

My anxiety is finally starting to subside and the excitement is setting in. I'm now in the "6 month window" to my wedding, and I have no doubt that I will have my "Michelle Obama" arms in my dress. At first, I was REALLY nervous about what to expect. As someone who has a busy and hectic work schedule, it seemed really unlikely that I could follow directions on what to eat (EVERY meal), how much water to drink (when I barely drink more than 3 glasses), and how often to work out (when I already get up at 7 and don't leave work until 6 and its DARK outside). But it's actually great, and has turned out to be really fun for both me and my fiancé. We meal plan using the website, and now actually get up earlier in the morning to have an amazing breakfast together. He's my workout buddy and we get to hang out and talk while we're exercising (unless I'm on the treadmill in which case I'm huffing and puffing so hard that speaking isn't an option). Now that this first 3 weeks is over and I know I can do this, the big hurdle is reminding myself that results take time. I've become ever so slightly mirror obsessed to see if I can see changes. I parade past them several times a day. But the exciting part is knowing I'll be seeing changes soon enough, and hopefully my next blog entry will confirm it! Until then, off to the gym. My workout buddy is waiting... :-)"
