Well, 21 days are over and quite honestly I didn't want to blog tonight after weighing, measuring and seeing my results. I'm disappointed. Frustrated and quite honestly ticked. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I'm not thrilled with my results. I started this program at 167.8 pounds. Tonight I weighed in at 165.2 pounds. That's a whopping -2.6 pounds. All of my measurements are very close to what they were 21 days ago, so I won't bore you with those numbers. I feel like I worked so much harder than a measly 2.6 pounds! I followed the eating program incredibly closely to a "T" and did the workout program more faithfully than anything, yet my numbers stink. After weighing and re-weighing, measuring and re-measuring I contacted my coach. She is very encouraging and reminded me that I did say I'm feeling stronger and the exercises are becoming easier. She also asked if I was eating ALL of my containers each day...I wasn't. I haven't been hungry enough to get down so much food! Then I was kindly reminded that you can go into starvation mode if your body isn't getting enough calories. I was also reminded that the equivalent of almost 2 and 3/4 pounds of fat when comparing it to blocks of butter is a pretty decent loss! After much encouragement, I was happy with the loss.l I'll take losing 2.6 pounds over nothing... Note to self for round two, eat ALL of the containers each day and push harder in the workouts. I'm not quite sure how I can push harder, but I've gotta do something, because at this rate it's going to take me over a year to get to my goal weight and that's just ridiculous!
Maybe I'm being too hard on myself. All I know is that I'm not giving up and this next round I'll be just as hopeful to see positive results. No matter what happens, I am building a healthier happier me and I love how I feel. It's amazing how doing something good for yourself can give you a mental lift just as much as a physical one.
I hope you are getting good results on whatever workout program you do, even if you lose just a pound or two. Google search "visual of one pound of fat"
Feel better???
YOU'RE WELCOME! :)
Happy Sweating!!!
You have a fabulous coach, because what she is saying is true. Also you don't really have that much weight to lose. It's more strength and muscle toning, so you are not going to see the dramatic numbers that others will record. I'm looking forward to your round #2 blogs!!!
