So I did a little experiment this week... Since I haven't been tracking my food lately, just eating in moderation because I pretty much know what I can eat in a day, I decided to cut my sugar. That doesn't mean I stopped all sugar as most everything has some sort of sugar. I did not cut fruit, carbs or fat or eat an abundant of fat. Since I know my body well I knew how much carbs, fat, etc... I could eat. I was more mindful from Monday to Friday of the foods I ate. So that means I didn't eat that granola bar for a quick sugar fix or that small chocolate bar from Halloween(yes we still have them for bribing kids... Don't judge lol). And then I was more mindful over my protien and water.... As in I made sure I got lots.
I did 3 days of weights and one half hour of running. I actually have done very little cardio since the marathon as I've been babying my knees lol.
I have taken NO supplements besides fish oil. I've been having some stomach issues so I've been stopped all vitamins and supplements for 3 weeks.
From Monday to Friday I lost 4 pounds. As I've told you before I've been the same weight range for years... Add or minus 10 pounds depending on the season. I barley step on the scale anymore but I wanted to remind myself and others.... It takes little change to see a big difference. 4 pounds is a lot for 4 days, 2 pounds is the max I like my clients to lose a week.
I have quite a few clients preparing for their vacations(not one bit jealous lol) and are asking me... How can this move more quickly... Well there's many ways... But the way I know of is to stop lying to yourself... And me... Lol... And tighten up that diet!!!!! Working out is not going to make you lose that weight or inches the way you want if you don't feed your body the right way!!
And you can't even use the excuse... Oh well you work out all the time... You've been into fitness for years... Because I just told you my workout plan and it doesn't say I was in the gym for hours a day!! And you're right... I've been in to fitness for years...which means my body is used to my routine... So I have to work hard to make sure I am always challenging it!!! Most of us just need little changes for big changes to be seen.... Remember my story of the lady who cut out her double/double. You don't need a miracle drug... Even those require you to eat in a deficit and cut stuff... You need someone like me to remind you that hard work equals long time results!!!
And because I'm all about moderation...look out chips I'm gonna eat you tonight!!! :p
Life a life that you can maintain and be happy with!!!
