Besides this nasty chest cold going on...I'm feeling pretty darn great these past 8 days.
I feel really empowered about taking action with my weight and health. Spending the majority of time on a computer does take a toll on one's midsection (or end section to be more exact!).
Today I power walked up to the Wilden, then ran around Hidden Lake and all the way home (probably only 3 km) but came home and hammered on the weights again.
Honestly, I am starting to feel a bit of pain in my knee...but I'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes...Worst case, I have an eliptical that is far less impact if it gets nasty (darn arthritis).
I even made a healthy low fat tuna dish last night (low fat everything) and it was super yummy...and nooo chips. In fact, much to the suprise of a good friend, I have NO chips in the house! Which obviously helps...
As for the scale, I don't believe there is much of a difference yet...but I can definitely see the beginnings of my obliques coming back....and that's incentive to keep pushing forward.
Talk tomorrow...Keep it up Steph!!! Feel better!!!

The scale is not your friend! The fact that you are noticing the muscle tone is wicked awesome. Keep thinking that we are measuring at the end - so there is a lot of time to make those inches go down.
ReplyDeleteThe scale can be deceiving - water retention, hormonal cycle, time of day, muscle vs fat, caffine intake etc - all contribute to the number being different or staying the same.DO NOT be bummed about that number. I do promise that if you keep up the good work, the numbers on your pants will change, and that is very important!
