So, yesterday I went out to eat with my mom and out to the movies. We watched "How Do You Know?' with Reese Weatherspoon and Owen Wilson. The movie was OK, but not a great romantic comedy, however I did get some motivation from the movie. One of the comments in the movie made by Reese's Softball Coach was, "Don't do anything half way or you will be half happy." That really hit home for me. For the past 4 days I have been the same weight. UGH!!!! And for all of my fitness friends, you know how frustrating this can be. You wake up early, hit the gym for morning cardio, go back to lift and 4 out of 5 nights, go back for evening cardio and stay the same weight for 4 days straight. Makes me want to pull my hair out!!!!
So, have I been doing this half-way? I had to reevaluate what I was doing. Is there something I can change (diet, amount of cardio, sleep.....) My diet has been extremely clean and I am chewing gum like it is my full-time job, so nooooo treats. My cardio has been on point. So, what do I change? NOTHING!!!!!
I need to remember that my body is changing it's composition. I may still weigh the same, but my body is changing itself. Going from 148 lbs. of fluff and water weight to 148 lbs. of lean muscle. So, give yourself a break. Know that your body is doing what it needs to do....stay on track......and keep pushing yourself moving forward. Again, as my dad always said..."Patience Is A Virtue!!!" And nothing could be truer when it comes to weight lose and muscle building. :)
