still an uphill battle... but i'm still climbing

Well, the last week or so has been incredibly hectic. I just experienced my first Navy move-- movers came at the beginning of the week and then we got to camp out in my in-laws guest bedroom with the dog. The movers delivered our stuff at the end of the week-- and somehow I still stayed true to my workouts and clean eating! In fact, my MIL is now following the "diet" and is beginning her own workout routine.

As if the exhaustion from unloading box after miserable box wasn't bad enough, as soon as we got to our destination, I insisted on hoping right back on the treadmill (literally). 2 workout sessions a day for 4 days (mix of cardio & weights); 1-2 days of one session (sometimes light cardio, sometimes weights). I have to admit that I'm very lucky in the sense that I'm within walking distance of the base gym and across the street from the health club facilities at our complex. Honestly, unless its a rest day or I'm dead-- as long as I'm home, I really don't have any excuse to skip a day at the gym! *sigh* Nothing spells success like access + accountability.

The good news is that my body has really transformed. There really aren't any bulges anymore-- and the hideous muffintop (that oh-so-many people around our area are sporting nowadays)-- is under control. Of course the down side to not having any real big "issues" or "trouble areas" is that progress is slow. Before you comment, let me just say I can hear my mom now: "Of course you're not going to see huge progress-- you're polishing the diamond now, not cutting it out of the mountain." Ahh Mom, you always have a way with words. *giggle*
