Good Run, Bad Scale!

6.24.10

I met Tonya to run 3 miles at 6am. Before we started she weighed me. I was so FRUSTRATED to know I had only lost 3 pounds. WHAT????? After all this hard work, 3 pounds, really??? The good news is that I dropped 2% of body fat and gained 1% of muscle and my viseral fat (fat surrounding your organs) had dropped a whole point - Tonya, and I were very pleased to see these results. My run was great - I felt awesome! I jogged the whole 3 miles, did not stop and felt like I could run more (which is good since I have to run 6 miles on Saturday). Many of you are probably wondering what my meal plan is. Since I started this process (6.14.10) I've been on the Fat Flush Smoothie Shakedown, by Ann Louise Gittleman, PhD, CNS (for only 2 weeks as a jumpstart). Basically, I have a shake for breakfast, 4-6 oz. of meat along with veggies and a shake for dinner. I can have 1 cup of recommended fruit or another shake as a snack. I have stuck to my workouts and meal plan for 10 days and that's why it is so shocking that I only lost 3 pounds. Well, I'm not going to focus on the numbers, like Tonya says, "You're not defined by a number."

The Journey

"When are you due?" This is a question I've been asked too many times....and I'm NOT Pregnant. I don't like the way I look, the way I feel and I'm going to do something different for myself, for my family, for my daughter who watches and looks up to me. -Krista Hunt

Many women across the country are stuck in an unhealthy rut that they would love to change. In today's society, with the pressures of work, family and juggling everyday life, a person's health becomes last on their "checklist," leading them down a path of unhealthy living.
