Okay, the first elimination is out of the way. And I'm still here!!!!! I will admit I was feeling pretty good about my progress until.....we saw everyone's results. I am tied for 12th. WHAT?! All that work and such a difference in my body and health and that's where I land?! Don't get me wrong, I am very proud of myself. But, I am way too competitive to let that go. I don't know how I can do more, but it will come from somewhere. This is unacceptable!!!! My inches and body fat % were great, but those lbs. that's what got me. I know I have built muscle that's why my number wasn't as high. Again, I can live with that. I am not focused on the lbs., just how I feel and how my body is looking.
It was a sad day on Monday when we heard the names announced of the eliminated team members. I have to say I cried when I heard Jen's name. Then I cried again, when I found out Hillary gave up her spot to Jennifer. We will miss your smiling face and cheerfulness. Then I thought, it's okay, we will all continue in this journey no matter how long we stay in the competition. We have the tools and knowledge to get it accomplished, just without the pressure. lol. I want to stay in as long as I can, because I learn new things every week.
This week has been tough so far. Monday and Tuesday it was a fight to get through my cardio. Today I prayed through it for strength. You know what happened? I made it!!!! Why do I sound surprised? I thought it was a silly thing to ask God for. However, I learned 'God will supply ALL my needs', no matter how small or insignificant in the grand scheme of life. (Something else I learned this week!)
I will keep following your progress Hillary. Keep up the good work!!!!! You are such an generous and awesome person!
