It's Day 7, it's 11:42 PM and I just finished my Slim in 6 Pack Ab workout. I did today's Start It Up video first thing this morning. My first week of Slim in 6 is complete. I'm 1/6 of the way there, 16 2/3% done -- Hooray. I keep looking at myself in the mirror wondering when I'm going to start seeing signs of my miraculous transformation. My Mother always used to say "Patience is a virtue", but I'd like to see some results and I'd like to see them now! I have definitely done more exercise this week than I have ever done in one week in my life. So when do I see the payoff?
Last week, before starting this journey, I took my measurements and pictures of myself. My booklet says to do it again in one month. Maybe that's how long it takes before I see the results. Because I'm one of those people for whom the above statement was written, I guess I'm just going to have to bide my time and continue to work out every day. I have to say that today at lunch, I did feel a muscle in my upper arm that I never noticed before. Maybe that's the beginning of my newly defined arms. Now if I could only see some sign of my newly defined Six Pack Abs, I'd really be thrilled.
I still have one week to go using the first of my three videos, Start It Up. It's a fairly intense full body workout and I can't imagine what Ramp It Up and Burn It Up are going to be like. Time will tell -- Patience, My Friend, Patience.

H. Diane,
ReplyDeleteVery cool this blogging about your journey. I too recently began my journey. You know I have followed a similar path for many years - the battle with my weight path. I lost mega weight about two years ago - WW - not sure why I stopped and then of course the weight returned. Exercise has never been a strong part of my life - three to six months, then stop for way too long, etc.
Anyway, as I mentioned I just began my journey on Tuesday April 27th. I am working out with my son's trainer on Tuesday and Thursday each week - spend from around 5:30 to 7:30 (first 1/2 hour is treadmill) - do one day at the gym on the weekend as well - probably don't get as much done as with Ben - but try. So far down 10 pounds (also on a meal plan - more on that at another time) - clothes are fitting differently - that to me is a bigger deal than the actual #'so n the scale.
Will be checking in regularly for inspiration and motivation - and hopefully providing some as well!

Wow! 10 lbs. since April 27th, I am truly impressed. I know what you mean about losing weight and then gaining it back. I have yoyo'd my way around for years. After all this time I have figured out that I need a bit more structure in my life than I am capable of on my own. That's why I think this video series combined with WW is good for me. But working out with a trainer and an organized food plan sound terrific. We'll lose weight together. Stop back often and we'll compare notes. Keep up the GREAT work!
