Today marks the 18th day since I changed my eating routine and increased my daily caloric intake by over 1500 calories. The first 10 days were a little iffy but I was putting my trust in Josh and his expertise. After all, whatever I "thought" I was doing right, wasn't working.
In addition to cleaning up my already clean diet, I cut back on running, sleep at least 9 hours at night and concentrate at the gym.
The results? The first 10 days I gained 2 pounds. I am never really consistent on the scale to begin with so I'm not sure if +2 was an accurate reading. Today when I weighed myself I was a little under 1 pound from what I thought was probably my original start weight.
I mentally had to prepare myself for this insignificant weight recording today. I decided today would be a great day to hop on because yesterday I felt awesome. My muffin top wasn't hanging over my jeans, my stomach felt tight and solid, I had a good bench press weight last week and to top it off, I was in a great mood! A number on the scale this morning wouldn't hurt my mood.
I'm on my second 10-day meal plan. I'd still say I'm in test mode to see exactly where I want to be but we are making progress folks!
I'm learning a lot in this process. My biggest discovery has been the fact that you can't lose weight but eating less! (okay...maybe Nick has been right this entire time)
