I am enjoying all of these fun words...A shrinking bank account not good, a shrinking waistline very good. That is my favorite part of losing weight the right way, it is all about inches and Body Fat, and yes pounds are important, but they don't tell you what is happening on the inside of the body. You see a lot of people that look skinny, but they are weak and have low energy because of poor nutrition and low lean muscle mass, which is dangerous as we get older. Lean muscle not only looks good, but it protects and strengthens our bones, as well as helps our metabolism burn 14 calories a day instead of 2 with body fat. Our body has a Resting Metabolic Rate, the amount of calories burned at rest, our "machine" is always working, our heart, circulation, breathing, all of our body systems, that takes energy. The more unhealthy we are, that energy becomes a stress on the body. With excess weight there are risks of developing all kind of diseases, such as diabetes and high cholesterol that can lead to heart problems.
So this is my theory, as I clearly see by the pictures, and feel in my body, everything else except my belly is shrinking. It is funny or not so funny what decides to go first, and where it lingers. I think that part is probably genetic, and we have no control, and honestly you cannot spot reduce, which means doing a million sit ups will not get you the abs of your dreams, its everything 80% nutrition, cardio, weights, and core. My baby is 6 months old, within that period I have always done my nutrition program, but started exercising full on when he was 4 months.
So since I am shrinking everywhere else, my belly pops out even more - LUCKY ME :) I am constantly told the two extremes, some say they see me losing weight, and the other day a very nice lady in one of my classes told me I look 4 months pregnant, AND SHE KNOWS I HAVE A SIX MONTH OLD - Oy Vey!
Here are the stats: Weight has only gone down 5 pounds, I just stopped nursing so hoping that will change, I lost 4% of Body Fat, definitely feel my clothes fitting better, and wearing things I haven't worn since my first baby. The best part is I have lost 10 inches all over my body, and I can clearly see I am toned all over, and what's left over is my stretched out belly. Let me use this exact word, I FIRMLY believe that with my nutrition program, Yoga, free weights, and Pilates, as well as hiking and cardio machines, I will bounce that skin right back.
