Operation Fabulous!

Well… we are all talking about getting on that scale to see if all the hard work paid off…we are just anticipating to see if that little needle moved left instead of right, but the truth of it all is that that number that we are gonna see is just that.  A number and nothing else.  No matter if I lost a few pounds or none at all, I FEEL GREAT! I have more energy and a lot more strength.  We may have gained muscle mass and lost some fat which means the pounds are probably gonna stay the same.  That’s fine by me.  I could feel that my pants are fitting a little better; I mean my work pants could be buttoned all the way now instead of me leaving that top button undone.  My “side fat” (your waist that hangs over your pants that when you pick up your bottoms - you give yourself a wedgie cause your pants are so high so you could cover it) is getting minimal.  I’m totally not saying that its gone because that is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from gone, but it is shrinking.

The success of Phase 1 is measured by me and the way I feel, not by how much weight I lost. I know how hard I’m working and I see how hard the other girls are working, so I know that this whole Phase One is not a waste of time. 

For all of you lovely ladies out there about to complete Phase One of the Best Life Diet -  DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED IF THE SCALE STAYS THE SAME.  Ask yourself these questions….  Do you feel great and lively?  Do you feel you have more energy than before?  Do you have a little more self-confidence in yourself because you got off of your butt and is doing something about your health?  If you answered YES to all or some of those, then you know that this is working.

Being in shape and being healthy takes time, so do not be discouraged if that silly little number isn’t what you expected.
