The Ongoing Quest

So my weightloss had sort of stagnated for a while and I was just maintaining. I got a lot stronger when I was doing afterburn, and achieved a greater level of overall fitness. So I feel that I was successful with it, I just didn't "shrink".

Well, I posted a while back I was going to meet with the trainer. I've never had a trainer before. I *love* having a trainer. I don't have to plan workouts or obsess about what body part I'm working, or when the last time I did deadlifts was. All I do is show up and do what he tells me to do. Its fabulous.

So he asked me about my eating habits and also what I was doing for cardio. He seemed surprised that I had only been doing 20 minutes 3x a week and he told me I needed to increase the amount of cardio I was doing. So I did.

Now I've been going to him for a week and a half tomorrow, and I've increased the amount of cardio I'm doing. I've lost 3 lbs already. Which is really fantastic considering the guideline for safe weight loss is 2 lbs per week maximum. That puts me right on target!

Last time I trained I told him that I had already lost 2 lbs, and he just said it was really all me, and thats true, I did do the cardio work. However, he's the one that told me my eating was fine I just needed to do more cardio. And he was right.
