I biked the trails twice last week because it was spring break, gorgeous out, my kids wanted to and it was so easy w/ almost 100 lb gone it didn't feel like I was exercising. I also did 2 days of 10 minutes of non cardio ab toner type excercises. I ate an extra packet all of the days I excercised.
At weigh in today I was down 2.4 lbs but the fat scanner thing said lean mass was down 2.1 lbs and my body fat percentage went up.
My coach said no more biking - until phase 4. She also said that its common for people to overdo it in phase 1 because excercise feels so much easier than we remember when we were heavier.
I'd be interested to hear how it goes for you - doe your clinic have a body composition meter?
Yes, they do have one. Yikes, I don't want to lose muscle and gain fat... seems counterintuitive doesn't it? I'll throw caution to the wind and do it.... thanks for the heads up. I think I'll just do this ride and see if there's any change on the body comp. I do miss my bike rides and I don't want to miss this years weather.

My old coach sent me an email last night and told me she was dropping me from her Facebook group because she didn't want others to see on my blog that my success came from competitor food since I'm about 90% alternative.
I never post on her Facebook anything that isn't IP related and my personal Facebook doesn't link back to my blog, but thought it was amusing the coincidence of time. She also told me that when I decided to leave the IP coaching that I was making a mistake.
I somewhat understand her remarks because she probably didn't think I would stick with it, but now I'm laughing because of her initial comment and then dropping me from Facebook group because of my success.
Instead of feeling irritated by her actions - I was actually feeling quite great!
Hoorah! Bask in your success.... and maybe rub it in a little, LOL.
Neener, neener
I just found out that my sister and I are going to the same clinic and they are being very lenient with her not sticking to the program 100%.(They reportedly kick people out for 2 cheats) So this gives me a little courage to introduce the idea of alternatives with my coach.....Wish me luck! If they give me the tongue lashing and finger pointing that I expect, then I'll just break up with them as their message wouldn't be consistent so why should I be. Sometimes, I'm such a brat.
