The new plan is going well. Still no change on the scale, but I feel like my clothes are fitting looser. Losing inches is great, but I'm so tired of the numbers on my scale!

My workouts have been tough, I've given myself stomach cramps twice this week. They always hit right after a workout. I've been pushing really hard this week. Like today I did 40 minutes on the elliptical trainer & 20 minutes of weight training. And I'm also going to do a workout this evening at home.

I've been working with my "Biggest Loser Challenge" game for the Nintendo Wii at home this week as well. When I started this journey I got the game in hopes it would help get me motivated, but realized that I wasn't even in shape enough to use that. I was told to use the "Light" exercises mode and even those were hard for me then. So on Monday I re-took their fitness test & my results were great! I was told to start out with the "Hard" workouts. It was very exciting for me. I even did good on some of the "extreme" exercises. The first time I did that test I didn't even get half way through and now I can make it all the way until the end. That was a good way for me to judge how strong I've gotten. I've never been so determined about something in life before. Its still trying every day and I find new ways to challenge myself and I think the most exciting thing is to see what my body can do.

On a side note I've added a new picture to my blog on the right hand side to help visually track how much my appearance has changed.

I'm also going to have my personal trainer check my body fat percentage either this week or next week. The thought of it not changing much is really scary for me, but I have hopes that it has changed at least 2%.
