Boy do weigh ins produce anxiety. Especially after the month I’ve had. Nothing like stepping on a scale during the holiday season. Frankly I probably prefer gum surgery. But then….the anxiety drops. The results were better than I thought they’d be. Kate really gives me terrific
guidance on managing expectations. And how to read the results properly. Here’s the deal -
I didn’t lose any weight, but I dropped another 1 percent in body fat! I was delighted with that.
I’m going to listen to Kate more closely in the future. We “laymen” are so focused on the pounds, when in fact the true result lie in body mass. I can buy into that. My weight does tend to fluctuate. But there’s no question my clothes fit much better. And of course I’ve done a bit of retail therapy. Have gone down a size. The key is to keep it there.
The leve of intensity during the workouts is crucial. I simply do a much more vigorous workout now. With Kate for sure,
but more importantly when I’m left to my own devices I’m pushing myself much harder.
I know I need to stay focused over the next month. I’m not going to deprive myself of some holiday treats. But I will step up my workout routines. Today I plan on buying a cross country ski set. I use to cross country when I lived in Montana. That’s one heck of a workout. Since we are going to be in the mountains a lot over the holidays I want to make sure I’m getting my workouts in…one way or the other!
