Nicole Snell’s Training Blog

Saturday I had a freak attack.  I had been so excited at my progress and seeing changes that I was SURE that the scale would register some awesome number chronicling my weight loss.  Um…no.  That damn scale says I weighed exactly the same as last week and the week before: 142.  How is that possible?  Down to the ounce?  Huh?

So I texted my trainer/brother asking WTF was wrong and what I should do.  My bro is so supportive! He told me that I’m basicallyl just holding weight in my legs and that the weight will come off it will just take time but that if I’m worried about not coming in on time I could up my cardio intensity, eliminate my weekly cheat meal and lower my cals on non-deplete days by 100.  So, I’m all over it!  I refuse to come into my show and look like I didn’t properly train and condition myself.  My lower body is the bane of my prep.

Now that I’ve got to wrap my head around all this, I feel a bit better knowing I can take control.  I also like seeing the changes in the mirror that continue to surprise me. For instance, my size 3 jeans fit comfortably now and aren’t muffin topping like they were a few months ago.  My lower abdominal cuts slanting down my hips (you know, on men they call it the "penis pointer") are getting deeper and are visible 24/7 and my face is starting to get angular from the fat I’m losing there too.  All the signs point to the fact that I’m losing bodyfat, so I’m going to stop worrying about the damn scale.  I know my diet is spot on.  I know my training is spot on.  That’s all I can do.
