I've been on this lifestyle since about March of this year. Have lost 30 lbs primarily by eating clean and the occasional exercise.
Last week I started a heavy lifting program (NROLFW) as some of you may have read. I started Monday so I've done 4 workouts. I'm not concerned with the scale as I know the daily fluctuations, not to mention water retention from weight training; which I haven't done in years. Literally
years. Well Mondays are my measurement days. Took my measurements and not one has budged. Not one. In fact, some have gone up by 1/4 of an inch. Not a huge gain, and I'm happy about that, believe me. But I thought I'd at least see something. I'm not expecting a huge loss, or even a mediocre loss. But half an inch somewhere would have been nice.
Positive thing is, I LOVE weight training. Love love love it. I've fallen
in love with it. And I'm so proud of that. I'm going to stick it out no matter what, I just thought I'd see something. I know it's early. Good things come to those who wait I suppose.
Any kind words or "kick in the butt" attitude is fully welcomed
