So, I met with my trainer today to go through the monthly battery of tests. The scale is first and, since last month, I'm up 2 pounds. Of course, I temper this with the fact that I'm actually down 2 pounds from last week! Then, we get the calipers. Shocker! I was substantially down on every measurement! I won't know what my body fat percentage is until my trainer has the chance has the chance to calculate it but it's got to be a good improvement! Then the cardio and strength tests and, again, an improvement on them all. Woo-hoo!
I just came across this article on CNN.COM. As much as I love my mother, I have to admit that she was anything but a positive self-esteem model for me. Not only was on I a diet from the time I was born (practically) until, well, now, but my mother spent a great deal of time bemoaning the fact that she was "so fat" and that she couldn't lose weight. I realize that I will have a battle when I have my own daughters not to fall into this trap.
