With the special Plumbline session I did yesterday, I was sore -My lower back from the dead lifts and my arms/calloused hands from the pull up session. Living fit and SORE right? HA! I get to Plumbline today and sure enough — we have pull ups on the menu — the joy!!
This week is the final week in the 4 week camp so we weighed in and did body fat check. I have held steady the past 2 weeks weight wise, so although that’s great, I was hoping for another 1lb or 2 in all honestly. The real treat though was my body fat — 30 days of eating this way — I am down 2.5% body fat. That’s where it really tells the story. I have struggled for almost a year trying to get the last 10lbs off and get my body fat to a level where I think it should be, based on the work I have put into it. Struggle is the right word too. I am so thankful that my friend Cheryl L was there to inspire me. Seeing her transform her body based on eating this way was the difference I needed to get off my butt and try it. As I have said before — I knew it wasn’t my workout or my will power — because it was clear to everyone and me that I was putting in the work. I was just not seeing the results that I wanted. Tweaking what I was eating is really what did it. Enough Said – put up or shut up, seeing is believing, proof is in the pudding and any other metaphor you can think of….
