Going in to week 3, I was a little discouraged to be honest. The weight has been steadily dropping away, but I felt like I wasn’t getting any substantial physical change. Then this happened.
Discouragement, begone. It’s a small start, but I am pretty happy with what 2 killer weeks can do.
I wonder how much less I would weigh after a haircut….

This week’s going to be a bit messed up because I’m leaving for a camping trip this Friday and won’t be able to get a full 6 days in. Have no fear, though. I’m just gonna double up routines on Wednesday and Thursday to make sure I don’t actually miss any days.
Will it kill me? Probably. Will it be worth it? Definitely.
