Weeks 11 |||amp; 12
WIT!
Hi everyone! I missed you guys last week.....
So, had I written my blog last week, it would have been filled with disappointment, anger, lack of wisdom, short-sightedness. All in all, not good stuff.
If this leads you to assume I did not have great results once stepping on to that scale at 5AM last Tuesday morning, that would be absolutely correct!
I had a week where my weight went UP!
It was a two pound increase & the only thing I lost was my marbles!
I promised I would be transparent on my journey.......so here it is, my feelings on my continuous journey.
I want to share with you because I know we can all learn, grow, and hopefully, I can help you through your own emotions & experiences and make things easier for all of you.
My life is great & full!!!
In a day, I can go through members' excitement, members' challenges, members' illnesses, teaching classes, running two businesses, nurturing my relationships & all the while focusing on my weight loss program.
All of you who are on this program have BIG BUSY LIVES!!
I know. I have spoken to you all, so we are all on the same page on this.
Life is busy!
Not sure why I wrote that... but, oh yah, because I didn't cook enough last week... & I ate things I really knew I shouldn't.
Ok back to last week. I came home angry & with a bag of Doritos. (yikes!)
This is sooo funny to me now!!!! I have never before bought a bag of Doritos in my life!!!
My husband Tom, listened to me bitch & then sat me down.
Feeling defeated I sulked,"I'll never achieve my goal of these sixteen weeks."
He quickly said,"F'n right you will!"
He reminded me of WIT.
Wit has always been attractive to me.
I have always admired quick & funny witted people!
WIT though, is also "WHATEVER IT TAKES."
And I live by it!
So he told me,"no, no, no you are a wit person!"
I said, "of coarse I am!" ( ok it took a bit more than that, a couple of hugs and shaking up and then I was convinced).
I got back to Latitude a couple of hours later and our performance & food coach Alicia says,
"I have taken you this far, I am taking you all the way, you are going to do what I say...."
She also said,"I am going to support you & I will follow what I suggest for you to do as well!"
Those of you who know her, know she is in prime condition, more fit than any fitness cover model
& really does not have a need to drop a pound or any fat.
She is under 7% body fat and chiseled, for god's sake!
So, off she went sending me a new plan to follow.
I have to say, this plan isn't for anyone who isn't angry & willing to do whatever it takes.
I hesitate to even share what I did, for fear of encouraging something that I really don't think is a good long term solution.
Does that make sense? I know it doesn't, but I followed it & I lost 9.2 pounds in 6 days!
Crazy!!
The funniest thing about it is that Alicia(my food coach) actually followed the plan for 2 days & then was about to eat her own arm off!
I thanked her for the support, but then told her, "please eat, I'm OK".
Kind of like mommy letting go of your bike when you are learning to ride.
So I have a total of of 29.4 pounds dropped in 12 weeks & as I write this, tears are running down my face.
I feel a great sense of success, & I know I can guide anyone to do what I am doing.
After all, everything I experience is definitely in my path so I can help others.
Breaking through a barrier that has been there for over 4 years is an overwhelming feeling & I now know I will achieve my goal weight by week sixteen.
More than that though, I am letting go of a few years of energy(fat) that was gained & stored mostly due to me not nurturing myself.
As I spoke to Lisa (my spiritual guru & coach), she reminded me of how all the weight I put on happened when I let go of caring for myself about four years ago. I turned my back on me.
So today, I am thanking the universe, "thank you for reminding me to care & nurture myself always. I am ready to ride free..."
Much love, & self love to all of you,
Vered.
