WEEK 7

So week 6 brought a little bit of frustration for me. We did out mid assessments and the numbers weren't what I was hoping for. I gained in my chest and my calves. Lost in my neck, shoulders, waist, hips and thighs. Which I am not complaining about at all! In fact my stomach has lost 3.25 inches in my waist. I credit it some of that to the fact that my is still slowing sucking back in after I had my baby. (it has been 4 and a half months) What I am frustrated about though is that I only have lost 2.5 pounds in 6 weeks. My goal was to lose 15 pounds and I am no where near that. I have been very good with sticking to the nutrition and have only had a couple days where I haven't followed it exactly. I also feel like during the workouts I put everything I have into them. I workout on the off days as well. I've talked with the trainers and I guess it could be many different things: stress (many different reasons), nursing, having the baby. It is possible that my body has just been thrown for a loop and is survival mode still because of having a baby, nursing, student teaching, this workout and just other life things. I am hoping that is the reason and that as soon as I am done student teaching a lot of my stress will subside and it will start coming off. I am tracking exactly what I eat and then I will be talking to Jake to see what we can do diet wise to see if  we can get the stubborn fat to come off.

Another highlight is that I am getting tons of comments on how thin I am starting to look. I can feel my muscles and even just living life has gotten easier. I feel like I have more energy and I can be more active.

We are now on week 5 of RIP 60 and it is intense!! I absolutely love it though! It really makes me push myself and see what I really have in me.

Jeremey told me not to weigh myself again until monday of next week so that maybe I will see a difference. This won't be too difficult because on Saturday we came home to the scale floating in 3 inches of water because it flooded. So it is for sure ruined hahaha. Hopefully next week will bring less weight with it ;)
