So let's talk about these results, huh? So very awesome!
I do have a few things that I want to address. I may not have actually lost THIS much weight from the program alone. I started the program coming off a weekend at my Mom and Dad's house, where usually I eat things that I shouldn't and come home bloated and feeling icky anyway. So, there is a good chance that at least some of the weight-loss was just due to getting all the crap back out of my system that I had put in over the weekend. But let's not forget that I also went home a weekend ON the program, I still had some pizza on the program and even some candy and not so healthy foods. I wonder if I would have seen more of a difference had I not had those cheat times.
Another thing that I want to talk about is that I'm not sure that the measurement change in my arms reflects what I see in the mirror because they look much more different than the numbers let on. I'm not good at taking measurements so I could have issues there too.
Over all I was very pleased with this experience. I will definitely be doing another round and charting my results. I think that I will be able to get stronger with the DVDs, I especially need to work on the Pilates one. I'm using the man places on my Start Here paper that came with the program to record my stats for Round 2, and since there is another space there, a Round 3. Then I may switch on to another program.
A cool thing about this program is that it is short. You still see results, but you can keep doing it and I assume keep seeing results because you will get stronger and be able to put more into it.
Something else to make note of is that most of the time I wasn't doing JUST the DVDs that came with the plan. I still ran often. Not everyday with it, but most of the days: and some days I did more than one of these or also went hiking or something. So there is also a chance that I was burning more weight than what the program says that you will burn.
It still really bothers me that I was eating without knowing the calories in vs. calories out for the day. I had been keeping track of this for about 6 months so it was a little freaky for me to go from counting and measuring to not. But since I saw some results I will do another round just using the containers and not calorie counting and see what happens the next 21 days. I'm counting today as my start for round two. With the exception of a couple of celebratory cookies I have eaten along with the program today. I will do an extra workout or two to try and compensate for the cookies. LOL. Everyone deserves a little reward.
Oh, and BTW my thighs are getting rock solid. Oh my, yes. :)
