We had our first weigh-in last night. I didn’t lose ANY weight. In fact, I gained .5 pounds, though I attribute that to water and the fact that I haven’t really pooped much in a few days. I also didn’t lose any inches. It also made me angrier at myself for splurging a little over the last couple days. I will not lie to you—I cried. The best way to cry while exercising in when you’re doing a plank because you’re head is down and the gravity makes your tears hit the ground and it just looks like you’re sweating. (Don’t act like I never taught you anything.) I think the worst part wasn’t necessarily that I didn’t lose, but that so many other people did. My friend who was weighed and measured before me lost 6 pounds and 6 inches around her waist. Plus, there were some of the super-fit girls comparing their marathon times (the Baltimore Marathon was over the weekend). Even though I feel like boot camp has given me a lot of confidence, all of a sudden I was the fat girl in the room again who couldn’t keep up. Tyler is having me cut my calories by 300 and if I don’t lose any weight in the next 3 days, we’ll have to re-think this strategy.

This is how I felt:

But I think today will be better.
