Man, this week has been INSANE! Workout with The Biggest Loser stars Wednesday, saw 4 of the stars from The Expendables up close and personal yesterday (excuse the photo quality... all I had was my point-and-shoot camera :/) , plus got a pre-screening of the movie. And it was AWESOME! AND I had my weigh-in day Thursday... dun dun duuuuunnnnn.
So, I lost 1.2 pounds. I was really bummed. I mean, I've been hitting it hard and eating as close to perfect as I could. I never went over my weekly points, and I worked out 5 days last week. So after I weighed in I was close to tears. I asked the lady who weighed me what the deal was. I just didn't understand. I told her I'm a kickboxing instructor, and she said "Bingo!". Apparently, when people drop 5-10 pounds in their first week on the plan, it's pretty much all water weight. Those were the numbers I was looking for. But, she said that since I already work out a decent amount, that gets rids of my water weight. So the weight that I lose each week is actual fat. When I look at it that way, it's acceptable. Once you start losing fat, .5 to 2 lbs a week is healthy. So I'll take my 1.2 pounds with pride! She also said that what with working out, I need to pay more attention to inches and how my clothes fit, rather than weight. I won't lose as much in numbers as people who don't work out intensely, but I'll tighten up and be more lean and have more muscle, which is fine with me! I'm going for that Jessica Biel bod, remember? :)
How have y'all been doing? Any updates? It's almost been a month since we've started. Are you still with me?
