Today marks 3 months since I decided to refine my eating plan and begin in earnest working out 6 days a week. Thanks to my trainer, I've come a long way in just 12 weeks! I know over the past year, there have been multiple reports, TV shows, etc. stating that we should work out 5 to 6 days a week (for the rest of our lives). And my trainer gave me the tools as well as the accountability to get me on the right track. As a result, so far I've dropped almost 2 pants sizes!
I've lost 18 pounds and lost 18 1/4 inches overall. That's 6 1/2 inches in my waist, 4 inches in my hips, about 3 inches in each thigh, and dropped a bra size! It's no miracle, that's for sure. It's the result of a lot of hard work but it's well worth it; I was able to come off of my cholesterol medicine for the first time in 4 years!
I will continue my workouts forever, and will modify my workouts the days I'm on vacation. It can be done as I proved it to myself in January when I was back East. It's working for me because I finally changed my mindset. I was tired of my (excuse the expression) "half-assed" efforts. Diet, lose weight, inconsistent exercise, gain it back.
There is no easy solution. I have to put in the effort, 6 days a week. And, I proved to myself that even in menopause, I can lose weight!
