Well I got my numbers updated on Wednesday. Uh-huh…well all my numbers went up about an inch and my weight and body fat went down by a fraction (not one whole number). The lady there was trying to let me down easily. I told her happily, “I don’t feel discouraged because I feel so great. I know the workout has to be working.” She followed me on the circuit to make sure I was using each machine correctly. She gave me some advice on how to control my heart rate that is always off the charts, without compromising my workout. The numbers were a wake call to officially start the diet. The word diet has such negative connotations, and leaves such a bad taste in mouth (no pun intended). In my mind, I have to take it on from another perspective, so I going to “fast”. Since we are in the 40 days to Easter, What better time to Fast!!! I don’t like fasting either, but I do like the results and it isn’t negative to me. I have cheated a little bit already, but that’s because I didn’t have a plan. Right after I post this I going to work out my meal plan. As the saying goes, “failing to plan is planning to fail.” My E plan will be updated the first week in March, so I will post my actual numbers then. I’m thinking I may be able to save face, just a tiny bit and at least get 5 pounds off. Although when I went back today and got my print out, I really feel that the inches gained came from my muscles growing. Which is good since muscle burns more calories than fat. So I am headed in the right direction, and what more can I ask for at this time?
I know I have some fans out there J, if you’re on this path as well, please feel free to share your own story, give advise, or maybe even recipes.
