Well I am six weeks in:

#1. My clothes fit better.

#2. I gained 3 lbs.

#3. I generally have more energy.

#4. My back pain is almost non-existent now, as long as I do at least one Pilates/yoga workout a week.

I will be honest. When I weighed-in for the first time in 6 weeks, I was REALLY disappointed that after all the work I had done I had GAINED weight rather than losing.

But I am starting to see a lot more muscle definition in my legs and arms.

Plus that means that I made it through most of the holidays only gaining 3 lb most of which I am going to guess is muscle.

I like the Fitbit as much now as I did 5 weeks ago. It really does make me SO aware of how little or how much I am moving.

Honestly, I almost didn’t give an update because it makes me feel incredibly vulnerable to put this information on the web.

But as Brené Brown says,

“Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.”
