I have tried for the last year and a half to get my body fat % down to a normal range. I did HITT (high intensity interval training) with a trainer for a year. Then in August I switched to the gym and lifting weights. Everyone thought that lifting weights and increasing my muscles mass would increase my metabolism and burn fat. I have taken CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) supplements and metabolism boosters along with going to the gym. I have exercised at least 3 days and most times 4-5 days a week since August. I ate what she wanted me to....protein every 3 hours. Last week she wanted to measure me again. Well guess what???? I am bigger! Yep in every measurement I measured bigger. Weight and all. And yes I cried and I felt sorry for myself and said what the crap! WHY? I'm doing everything right so what is my problem? I have studied and researched and tried multiple things to try and reach my fitness goals and up to now I have not found the right fit for me. But my message here is this. Did I give up? NO! The next day I was back in the gym. I'm going to bump up my cardio and switch up my food intake. I will not quit. I will keep trying different things to figure out what works& remind myself everyday that success isn't measured by a number or sometimes what is visible. I wake up feeling good every morning and I have energy. If you struggle with your weight and are frustrated by not getting result schedule an appointment with me. We will work together to figure out what you need to do to be healthy.
