Drum Roll Please!

Down almost 6 inches and 8 pounds...Karen Cummins! 

Remembering that this was wellness coaching (no body fat measurement was taken).

Wyatt was quick to point out that while I was doing my cardio each day I was building muscle. And Janet our dietitian confirms that converting fat to energy while also building muscle can really wreak havoc on the scale.  Fluid in muscle quickly replaces pounds lost from fat. Knowing that, I lost more pounds! 

Wyatt also promises with perseverance and steady work the pounds will just melt off. (Weight loss was not one of my goals remember--I wanted no pressure but now am thinking 8 pounds does not seem like many). But alas, its 1 pound per week, a healthy way to go!!

Back to more cardio I go. Keep pushing, step it up, don't become complacent. Continue to work it-- increase resistance, heart rate, or steps! Work toward burning 700 calories per 40 minute workout! I have my work cut out for me! All the while, continue the resistance training 2 days per week.

It seems like we have been at this for a long time (8 weeks, but really just 42 days!)...bottom line this is new to our bodies.
