I am 9 pounds over LIW from round 5, and not only can I feel the difference in my body, because I’ve regained it in my tummy, my head says "you're fat". Well, I know I'm not exactly fat, just my tummy is, and that does not make me fat!
I have been able to get in 1-2 workouts on the elliptical a week over the past month or so, and I’m working on getting to my goal of 3 per week. Eventually I want to add in Pilates, too, because even at the lower weight I could tell my stomach muscles are shaped outward, from when I was powerlifting. I need those muscles to work at supporting my back and internal organs, like they are meant to.
I found early on that I need to track my calories, but I detest doing it. I really want to be able to eat with a sense of what I should have to fuel my body, with maybe an occasional treat, so have really resisted that step. I need to re-train my brain to see it as a helpful tool, not a leash.
