Love It, to Lose It.

What is the number one reason people start working out? They want to lose weight or tone up. They aren't happy with the way their body looks and they want to change it. So if you are working out like crazy 5 days a week and only losing 1 pound a month or 1 inch every 3 weeks, you're going to get disappointed. You're going to quit. You're going to think that it's impossible to get to where you want to go. Time to re-think it.
First of all, changing your body is more than just moving your muscles, you need to feed it properly too. And that includes eating ENOUGH (which most women don't) and eating well. If you aren't eating enough and you are eating processed crap that just burns through your body, how can you expect your body to really do what you want it to do? Eat well, eat often.
The number on your scale is really no indicator with how well you are working out or how healthy you are. Most people, myself included, can become slaves to the number. Everything gets dependant of that number sliding down and when it doesn't - heartbreak - disappointment - chocolate. So find another reason to workout, any reason.
