LIFT!

I'm going to tell you a story. This story is about a woman who took care of herself, ate right and exercised on occasion. She was still healthy but decided to do a little more and hired a personal trainer. (me) If you think you are busy, you haven't met this woman! Making it a priority to take care of herself, we meet several times a week. She works hard. Really hard, every session. For the last 10 weeks, the scales have slightly crept up. It's really hard to see this even if you KNOW that  the scale is just a number. I know! I have dealt with this myself. Even though, I am quite fit, I have a hard time seeing that number in the mornings. So I get this struggle. I kept telling her not to give up and she agreed. Finally, she took 'after' pictures to track her progress. AMAZING, in 10 weeks the scales have gone up about seven pounds. 7! That is a lot when your goal is to lose weight right? Well, look at these for yourself. You tell me, does that look like a 7 pound weight gain?!

 

Yes, the second picture is her 'after' picture. This is why lifting, and taking pictures are SOOO important! I'm proud of you for not giving up and working as hard as you do even when you don't wnat to!!
