I’ve lost 9 pounds! Last we
ek, I was frustrated because I had plateaud at 8 pounds. Although I was feeling better, it’s always frustrating to be doing all the right things and not seeing an immediate result. But a few workouts with Scott, some jogging in-between, a hectic work schedule, some fruits & vegetables, and lots of work later… and the scale is moving again.
I told Scott of my frustration about hitting a plateau, and he told me not to worry, we just needed to change up the routine. He was right. The interval training, and working on exercises that I have not done in a long-long time, resulted in sore muscles I forgot I even had.
And bang.
I lost another pound.
I’m feeling great. Stronger, more energized, and looking better. There’s still a long way to go — eleven more pounds — but the best part is that I’m feeling happier and back in control. I’m feeling girly again. I went dress shopping last weekend and bought something fun. The kind of dress I never thought I’d wear again: short, stretchy, clingy, and very sexy. It’s not perfect on me yet, but just to know that this fab new dress is hanging in my closet has added a whole new layer of motivation.
If I’m feeling this good having lost 9 pounds, I can’t imagine how great it’s going to feel when I’m a newer yet older-and-wiser version of my original self.
Stay tuned to see what happens. Can I get to my goal weight before I start filming?
I’ll keep eating sensibly, sprinkling SENSA, and working out with Scott Bittermen from Emerge Athletics.
