I started the new year with the goal of losing weight. I identified some nutritional changes that I need to make as well as a new workout routine to get rid of the “dunlops” disease (that is when your belly dun lop over your belt). Admittedly I wasn’t extremely excited about starting the workout routine because that required a change of habits beginning with getting up earlier in the morning. I am excited about losing weight but how to get there is the real antagonist. After the second time of working out I thought to myself that I must be pushing it too hard because I ache. So, the third time I backed off a bit. After two weeks I saw no progress, so I figured I better step it up. I even sweat the next time so I was sure I would see a weight drop. Nope! I think I must have drunk too much water before weighing myself because I actually had gained weight. Note to self; ease up on the water. Protein shakes will likely be better because isn’t that supposed to change the not-so-pretty mass into muscle mass? You know this progress thing certainly requires real effort and focus, but doesn’t that apply to everything? That means hard work! Stay tuned!
