Health Club in Auburn WA Forced 5 lb Weight Loss in Two Weeks


 

health club auburn wa biggest loser

 

FIVE POUNDS lost in first two weeks at the health club in Auburn, WA.  They didn't really force me to lose weight.  Just trying to get your attention.

Everyone was weighed in one by one.  The results were announced over the sound system so that it seemed the whole town would hear.  No such thing as privacy during a competition.  Guess I shouldn't care.  After all, here I am sharing it with the planet.

So, first two weeks lost 5 pounds according to the official weight scale.

Is this good?  Think so. I am averaging a 30 to 40 minute workout every day.  (I missed a couple.)  Length of workout time is expected to increase as I become a lean, mean workout machine.  The recommended supplements are part of my new daily routine and, of course, the meal plan.  I really like the new meal plan.  Meals with less portion five times a day is working out very nicely. 

There were those who lost 15 to 19 pounds in two weeks.  That is amazing! 

Had an epiphany.   If you become a wimp it will be harder to lose weight.  As a weak wimp, you will not have enough muscle to get your heart rate up before you get tired.  So, those who are weak can't seem to exercise long and find it harder to make progress.  This is why my personal trainer (Sara) is having me do lower weights with higher reps.  Build the wimp into someone with more strength.  Then I can really dig in and do something even more awesome.  

Wish I could have a dark chocolate gourmet candy bar for each pound I lost as a prize.  I will look for another reward instead.

How about a very fancy high tech sweat band to make me look very cool?.

It's always the skinny pundits who tell you to celebrate when you reach a goal. For the dieter, it's a problem. What are you supposed to do? Go out for a meal? 
 
Women find it much easier to celebrate. They can go out for a bit a retail therapy. Men don't have it so easy. They can't eat something, which is what they want to do and, for them, shopping is worse than dieting. 
 
So, here's a little incentive that I found particularly helpful. As you reach your various goals, remind yourself of what you're able to do as a result of having lost the weight. Here are some examples: tie my shoes without exhaling first; tighten my belt by another notch; get in the car without sliding the seat all the way back; get your feet wet when it rains. If you don't understand any of these, then either you're malnourished or not paying any attention. 
 
So, here's to you Mike. I'm sending some weight over to you to lose on my behalf. It'll save me the trouble. 
 
PS. Drink 2-1/2 liters of water every day.

We are in America over here. You have to translate all pounds vs. liters vs. gallons. No worries, I will just go to Google and calculate it. :) 
 
Celebrate. Ok, I am lucky enough to again use the close I packed away for a skinny day. (not a rainy day... a skinny day)  
 
thank you for your celebration insight.
