Week 3

Week 3!

Ok, so I've completed week 3 of my 16 week Transformation!

I have to share with you, as a woman, what I have been feeling.

Last week I jumped on the scale so eagerly, knowing I have been bang on with food & exercise.

"Oh, what, what's that, only two pounds....hmmmm". I have to say I was less than pleased.

The pressure is on and the week before dropped SEVEN!

"Wait, wait a second what's the date?"
I had to back track a bit......
"I'm PMS..."

Yes, I'm sharing all here.
I figure if I'm going to do this we have to understand all systems in the body. Especially for us women!
So last Tuesday I was in full blown premenstrual syndrome.
Good news is that I hardly felt any bloating, no cravings just some tenderness in my chest.
I don't think I was even overly sensitive, (I better ask the people around me about that, hehehe).

So usually I would feel really bloated & hypersensitive & put on four pounds around that time of month,
instead I felt great & dropped two! Ok I digested that & was looking forward to this week.

So, this morning I’m up at 3AM, revved up to get on that scale!
I jump on & .............. ARGGGHHHHHHH two pounds again!

I am sharing all of this with all of you because this is where I & most would drop the ball. It would be, cheat away!
But no, my wise teammate, Katja reminded me, "Hey, hey you’ve lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks & you have your period!"

This all reminds me of the beauty of being a woman.
There are systems in your body that no matter what program you are on, that will present themselves, reminding you, "Don't forget you are a woman."

Ah yes, so I am proud & I am happy about my progress.
I know there will be lesser weeks & greater weeks & I am ready for them.
I am in it for the long haul & this woman, this wonderful feminine body & spirit will push me through those moments that I just feel like giving in as it always has.

So here I go into the fourth week of my journey feeling great & reminded of the woman I am.

Much love,
Vered.
