Challenge Update

Back in January, I posted about having a "Biggest Loser" challenge with Josh. Well, it's been a few months and I have lost and gained back the same 4 pounds. It was really frustrating me until this past Monday. I take a strength training class 2x week at our local YMCA and I do cardio 2x week.

Monday's class started a new routine and it is more intense than ever. But I stayed with it and didn't have to slow down at all. After the class it hit me - I am getting stronger! I may not be seeing the scale go down, but I can see that my body is stronger and it is making me feel more confident about myself. I feel healthier just from working out. I never thought I would say those words!

Andrea ~ I think this is wonderful... it's not about the number, but about how you are feeling. If you feel healthy, strong and fit - that's the number you should be at! Congrats!
