Results Totally Typical?!?

I have stayed @ 225.4 for 2 days, but this is not shocking at all. I think that the cheat day does good things for me psychologically and physically and it takes at least two days for the effects to subside. Then I lose weight. Last week I lost over 2 pounds - almost three. That was after a 7 pound loss on the first week. I haven't heard of anyone continuing that for weeks, and it seems like even under doctor supervision to be a bad idea to lose that much weight that fast.

I'm reading the pdf document of the prescribed workout in this plan. I'm not seeing any cardio here. I'm only seeing strength exercises - mostly Russian kettle bells (we have those - THANKS ANDREA!!). That jives with how I have experienced weight loss post-babies. Cardio alone definitely doesn't work. Even doing cardio plus circuit training was not having an effect on calorie counting for me. But this is working. And now with careful planning I will add another layer to my efforts for an added effect! I'm excited. I know I can do what he's asking here. If anyone wants a copy of the prescribed workout write me and I'll shoot you a pdf copy. I have never worked 1 on 1 with a personal trainer before but what he's describing seems simple and effective. And not necessarily easy - just short and to the point. That's encouraging.

I put on a pair of pants today that I haven't been able to wear for MONTHS! They were so ugly when I put them on it was totally live putting toothpaste back in the tube and it was oozing out the top everywhere - icky. Now I'm sitting comfortably in these pants just writing an email and they are not cutting into me at all! I think my measurements are going down faster than my weight. Tim, the author, says many times that this would be the case often. I need to remeasure myself. I did a waist measurement at the beginning of the Mind Body Program that I started at Jole's work and I know that my waist has gone down at least 2 inches since I started. Pretty cool.

OK - have SO MUCH work to do (always) so I have to go. Love you guys!
