Inches Lost and a job well done!

I don't know what it is like to see your child for the first time.  I don't know what it is like to say 'I do' (I will soon!).  What I do know is what it feels like to lose inches and feel so freaking good about it.

Since January I have done what I ask all of my clients to do - suck it up and train hard.  I have done weights, cardio, and hot yoga - 5 days a week.  I have even overcome a fractured bone in my foot and a splinted hand.  I tracked my calories and gave up some things I love (coffee in the morning!).  The result - in 1 week I have lost 2.5 inches.  It took 4 weeks of little tiny improvements to get here but finally my metabolism is screaming 'hell yeah' and kicking into gear.  It is an awesome feeling, and I recommend it to everyone. 

Now is not the time to be slacking though.  More than ever I need to keep up with my training and watch my food intake.  As the weeks progress I know the inches lost will slow down, and that just means 'WORK HARDER!'. 

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I am living proof.  Stick with it!
