Yesterday we weighed in and did measurements to gauge our progress. I am very proud to say that I have lost a total of 10 lbs and 15 inches in 1 month!!! I am very happy. But, Doriana said not to expect those results every month. We should start slowing down and when we quite losing inches then she will do a change up in our diet.
After we measured then we worked out with Doriana. And man oh man did she ever work us out. She kept adding 25 lbs per set to where we could barely lift the weights. Misty and I lost our witness at the end because it was soooo hard to keep going. We were primarily working our legs and when we were done our legs were shaky and we could barely stand.
However, as we were stretching after the workout, Doriana gave us a gift. She said that she worked us extra hard because she was gonna let us have a 1 1/2 cup of PASTA!!! As a reward. I mean to tell you the pasta never tasted sooooo good. Afterwords I just sat there like a cat who ate a mouse. I can still recall the satisfaction of being "full" from the carbs. Pure contentment. I'm smiling right now thinking about it.
It's funny that that little cup and a half of pasta has boosted my morale so much that I am ready to tackle another 4 weeks head on. I felt so good about it that I got up and did a spinning class this morning.
I guess that I will continue to take it one day at a time......With results like this, how can I not.
What amazes me is how little it actually takes to make us feel 'full'... once we understand what being full really means. Hunger vs. Craving, Full vs. Stuffed, etc
