day 1-10 pics from working out!

I've been working my tail off the last ten days! I've been trying to burn between 600-1000 calories a day in cardio and strength training. I have a lot of stomach problems, including chron's (so I can't have fiber, grains, nuts, or lactose per GI Specialist) so that's why I keep my diary private, most wouldn't understand why there are very little veggies eaten if they came past my diary and peeked. I basically follow the Adkins diet but I do add in a bit more complex carbs since I've been working out hard. Eating for me is tricky due to the stomach woes. 

Anyhow, even though I'm mortified of day 1 picture, I wanted to share to give others hope that we will get there with hard work and determination! (and just a heads up NO! I am not pregnant! I just had a large belly)I'm proud of myself - I have never worked out hard in my life, I haven't ran in about 18 years unless you count running after kids, *lol* and I guess I just didn't believe in myself enough. The past ten days I have been strength training, running, walking, xbox kinect, and boxing (sparring) mainly. Oh yeah, that was before I cleaned the bedroom, too! sorry!

Here is day 1 pic and day 10! Hubby's a soldier and pretty much put my duff through his own boot camp. He is an awesome supporter, motivator, and great at fitness! I'm excited about the results and decided to capture it in pictures and to measure myself, b/c working out this hard, the scale does not want to budge at all!

As Brian says, "There's nothing to it, but to do it!" I can't thank him enough for the awesome person he is. One of my goals is to run a 5k with him in the near future after I lose a bit more and gain more endurance from working out, I worried for a second and said "But what if I come in last place? Wont you be embarrassed?" He says "You wouldn't be in last place, I'd slow down and let you cross before me" I fall in love with him a million times a day, even after 15 years together!
