OK, this month was difficult for
me and it wasn’t because I
didn’t work out, not because I didn’t continue with my healthy eating.
No, it
was because I had to stop getting on the scale and only base what is
happening
with my body with a measuring tape. (And there was an actually
possibility of
gaining weight)
Now, this weight gain was going to be a good thing because if it did happen it would have been muscle weight that I gained and not fat. But, when your mind is all set on losing weight, getting on the scale and seeing weight gain wasn’t going to be easy.
Well, last night was the night I weighed in and I did lose weight, but not the 10 lbs a month that I had been losing the last six months. This month I only lost 3 lbs, but my waist is now a half inch smaller than last month and my calves are a quarter of an inch bigger. (Arms were a little smaller, but trainer thinks I still had a little fat to give there)
So, we will see how this next month goes, but I will keep up with the diet and exercise and continue working on my mindset of gaining muscle weight and not losing weight on a scale. Thanks you all for your support and thanks Activerain staff for putting me on stage at Raincamp and helping me realize that it was time to do something about my weight.
Todd, that is quite an accomplishment and something I'm sure you are quite proud of, and well you should be. Thanks so much for telling your story and posting it to my group "Take It Off In The Rain". I had to Feature this because you are truly an inspiration to all of us. Stick with your program and working with your trainer. you're having amazing results. Don't worry so much about the 10 pound a month goal you set for yourself, and don't worry so much about the # you see on the scale either. If you are losing inches, that's just as important. Best to you sir!
