I took my new measurements today and there were ZERO changes from last month. Z-E-R-O!  Now, this could get me down but given that I’ve almost doubled my calories over the last 4 weeks I would say it’s a good thing that everything is not larger.  On an up note, my weight was down 1.2 pounds which was really what I was concerned with. unnecessarily as it turns out.  It’s a work in progress and the last couple of weeks I’ve had 2 days off back to back for one reason or other but not purposefully.  All this is proof of a couple of things:

1. Your body needs food.
2. If you fuel it, your body will work for you and will grow stronger and leaner as long as you commit to working hard with a plan for the long term.
3. The scale is a tool, not the boss.  Do not let the number on the display derail you or make you do stupid things.

So although there is some tiny part of me that is a little disappointed that I did not see big changes in dimensions, the progress pictures saved the day in that there was definitely positive movement in the right direction.  You can’t expect big changes all the time but you have to work as hard as if you will never see them because change is made one day at a time and only we can initiate it.   Be vigilant in the pursuit of your goals.
