Seven Pounds in Two Weeks: Results!

Yesterday marked two weeks since I began this crazy journey from potty training (which is not going so well) to weight training and my quest to become a legitimate Figure competitor. And after all these years I finally know the secret of the super moms who loose all their baby weight in a week...or so it seems.

They don't eat!

Sorry it's not such an exotic answer, but I wake up every morning realizing all of the foods I know and love are no longer on my palate. I think about the camping trip we just finished, the conference in Chicago coming up, and I'm slightly miserable knowing how difficult it is to pass up breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert and replace it with the same measly 7 foods I've been eating over the last two weeks. You know it's bad when you get lettuce OK'd by your trainer, and its like hitting the lottery! I don't even like salad but now it's become my new best friend.

But as I suspected, the results (almost) make it worth it. Seven pounds in two weeks! I've never lost that much weight so quickly in my entire life. Not to say this hasn't been the hardest thing I've ever done, but getting on the scale does make the effort that much more worth it.
