My Sweat Will Glow: Operation Abs: Day 5

I've been very good about sticking to my regime. I have taken to working out right when I wake up so I don't have time to make excuses or right after I am done with a bike ride. It is working pretty well thus far. I am starting to see marginal results which after five days is pretty encouraging. I've been eating better over all and have upped my water intake significantly.

I am worried about gaining weight. They say muscle weighs more than fat and I feel like if I start getting nice and toned, the scale will go up a bit. Not that it matters if I look and feel great, but I am worried about what my crazy number obsessed mind will think. On Day 1, I was 150, today I am 149.6. Those are both up a bit from my last calorie counting weigh in, but still much,much lower than when I started changing my lifestyle. I am hoping that my weight either continues to go down or stabilizes, otherwise I am worried I'll get discouraged and stop working out.

Today marks the end of my first cycle and tomorrow starts 150 a day. I am a bit worried about getting through it mentally. I know I can do it physically, but getting over all my mental blocks has proved to be quite a challenge thus far and I am worried what will happen when I increase the number I have to do. I am hoping for something like,"Ugh, I was such a baby. I didn't know how good I had it when I only had to do 100!" We'll see!
