Week 10 - Results

As I came to the end of Week 10 and took my usual Saturday morning measurements, I discovered I was still the same as I've been the last 2 weeks. I think it's safe to say I've hit a plateau. :/ I'm stuck at 12-13% body fat and 155-157 lbs. Although I'm excited about the fat-loss results I've had, I'm disappointed in not hitting my goal of 10% by May 7. But hey, dropping from 24% to 13% isn't bad, right? =) But I'm not giving up. This is Body for LIFE and that's how I intend to continue looking at it. So onward we go!

So I have 2 weeks left in the 12-week challenge and I'm tweeking my meal plan for this last stretch. Someone (who is one of my BFL mentors & inspirations) offered to help me with my last 2 weeks meal plans and to that I am very grateful. I'm not sure she would want me to mention her by name but she knows who she is. Thank you!! I'm confident that with the new eating plan and consistently hard workouts, it will get me to my goal by the end of this thing. =)

I never realized how different you could feel by changing your eating habits and adding in regular exercise to your life. When I was eating "whatever I wanted" and not exercising, I didn't realize I was weak and tired, but when comparing to how I feel now, there's a drastic difference! It's really cool how it changes your whole outlook on things. Even our kids occasionally will look at a food label and say, "Dad...I saw this had high fructose corn syrup in it so I didn't eat it.." Haha!! That's so cool!! Our kids don't eat 100% clean (they're kids), but it's awesome to see them learning this stuff! I'm thankful for BFL and what it has taught me and would love to help anyone learn this process. Just ask!

Ok, next 2 weeks are rolling so let's DO THIS THING!! I want the rest of my low-belly fat GONE and 10%...watch out for me!!!
