Still loving it and feeling healthier.
I sort of wish I had all kinds of BIG numbers to share.
But I don't. In some ways there was a plateau in the numberage section of my results this phase.
Just to recap...
After my first 30 days
- I lost 6lbs.
-I lost 10 inches.
-I lost 4% of my body fat (Initially I had put 10, but that was a miscalculation on my part).
After 60 days:
-I didn't really lose any weight this phase. Nada. I bounced up and down a bit, but no real loss.
-I only lost 2 inches (if you squint) according to my measurements.
-BUT I lost 8% more body fat - meaning I dropped twice as much body fat during the second phase as I did the first.
-And my personal icing on the cake, I dropped a jean size. (Thank you, Jesus!)
How do I feel about that?
I feel great. It has actually been liberating this phase to not put such an emphasis on the scale this time around. I could tell my body was toning and changing, and in the end the results tell me that my body was busy creating muscle this round. And I'm happy with that! Things certainly aren't going in a bad direction, so I can't complain. This is a journey. It's not a quick fix. And I'm in it for the long haul, so any progress is cause for personal celebration! And, I'm loving my new jeans.
Onward. Lean Phase is the final phase of ChaLEAN Extreme. I just finished week 1. It's intense, she ain't kidding around. Supposedly this is where you lose the most weight, but we'll see, everybody's body is different. I'm trying to navigate half marathon training with Chalene and making sure I eat enough, so it'll be interesting to see where I'm at in a month.
