Day 23
Today was a good day. Able to do a few more reps of several of the exercises. Weighed 211.5 so I am down 17 pounds. I am looking forward to day 30, because I think it would be hard to continue some parts of this program indefinitely. I do plan on incorporating what I’ve learned and continuing the healthy habits I’ve implemented. I feel so much better and have so much more energy. I know I will have to continue to make healthy choices on a daily basis.

Day 21
Holding steady with the new workouts and nutritional plan. Sometimes I can’t believe I have stuck with the program this long. My husband is really surprised, but I do not want to go back to the habits that got me here in the first place. I enjoy the variety of workouts, so I don’t get bored. Sometimes I feel like I have so very long to go to get where I want to. I get discouraged when I start thinking this way. My struggles are more in the mind.
I need to add more variety to my food choices, so everything doesn’t start seeming too routine. Looking forward to weighing in tomorrow.

Day 17
Got all of my workouts done earlier today which really helped. I added heavier weights which really worked my muscles. Sometimes I get discouraged when thinking how much I have to lose and angry at myself for getting this heavy and out of shape. But I have to not dwell on that; that has always been my downfall. So I’m going to keep doing what I know is working for me and I will get there. I can tell my clothes fit better and the flab is turning into muscle.

Did more reps today than before. Eating plan went great.
Down a few more inches and down 14 pounds. Great day!

Day 14
Today was an easier day with the extra carbs. I had lots more energy and I was able to complete my exercises better. I also did my workouts earlier in the day which made it easier for me, instead of trying to squeeze them in.

Today was a rough day with the new exercises for me. My knees felt the strain, so I think I will have to ease into these slower. Felt sluggish today, but still have more energy than when I started.

Day 11
Today I had more energy to do my workouts earlier in the day, but later on it was hard to get the same results as yesterday. I am following the diet and exercise plan as instructed. I was hungrier today than usual for some reason. It’s only 30 days and the results will be fantastic.

Day 10
Today I had more energy and was able to do more reps on the wokouts, overall. Enjoyed having fruit today. I bought some almond butter for the first time and put some on an apple. It was so delicious. Need to get in my workouts a little earlier, but I had my sister-in-law over today helping me get ready for a party. I didn’t want to tell her I needed to exercise. How silly is that? Tomorrow when she comes, I will tell her. Haven’t wanted to tell people yet that I’m doing this, because they will probably think “Here she goes again, on another one of her diets”. I am afraid of failure, plain and simple. I hope not only to get healthier, but have more confidence. I know I can do this.

Day 9
Had a harder time getting my workouts in. I do pretty good with the first two, then I procrastinate. But I did get them done. With the nutrition change, I’m not quite up to normal with my exercises. Tomorrow is a new day, and I’m happy that I’m still been able to follow the plan 100%.

Day 8
Weight today is 219.5 Loss of 9.5 pounds. I am very pleased with my progress. I’m glad that Dax keeps challenging us, and doesn’t waver on what he knows works. Otherwise, I would be having sugar and fatty desserts some of the time. The problem for me is that it always becomes all of the time.
My clothes fit better and aren’t so tight. I feel better than I’ve felt in a long time.
I know I have a long ways to go, but I’m determined to stay on track.
