.... even though right now I'm a little down at the results. BUT, I have to remember two things in particular. Well, three actually:
It's my pre-something something mumble mumble week. And I'm supposed to be retaining water that week. So there you go. Slowed progress.
Two - I swung kettle bells yesterday. This time I do not feel nearly as sore so I think I'l work out harder tomorrow and try to swing more times. Even the same amount of crunches did not hurt this time, so I'm building muscle, which weighs more than fat.
And three - I ate a little cheese yesterday. And the day before. Bad Benni.
Also, the farther I go into this book, the more I notice that there are TONS of little rules on what you should do and don't do and not really just 5 rules at all. Like you're supposed to drink grapefruit juice 20 minutes before the second meal on cheat day and do these crazy little exercises before each meal and the first meal is not anything you want but a high protein meal (which I've been doing, BTW), etc etc etc. BUT, as long as I continue to lose 1 - 2 total pounds per week I like the concept and I will stick with it. So I will have to make it back down to 222.4 or lower for that to take place. That rate of weight loss is also what is recommended by the nutritionist that I talk to through the Mind and Body Program. Right now I am weighing in at 225.4. That is what happens normally after each cheat day, and as I said before, with my "time" coming up it is entirely possible that I won't get the results that I'm hoping for this week and will have to wait out the hormonal stuff before my weight goes down again.
So I will keep with it and know that if I journal my food and water intake and continue my workouts three x a week that I will see results aplenty over time. No magic bullets. No instant cures.
OK - love to all.
