Today is my LAST DAY on the Standard Process 21 Day Purification Program. I feel like the victor in my own race. I have ran similar life style races before. Even having been the only contestant I have never crossed the finish line. I weighted and measured myself today for the first time in a while. I am not too terribly happy with the scale numbers telling me I have only lost 8lbs total but the measurements are telling me that I have lost almost 4 inches around my waist. I have lost up to 2" in additional areas such as my biceps, thighs and even my neck. Even with just a little bit more weight-loss and the new measurements it has encouraged me to keep up the pace. So much so that I bought a treadmill yesterday. I do have a gym membership that I still plan on using but with this new piece of equipment I will not be able to use the excuse not to get in between 30 to 60 minutes of cardio a day. My chiropractor was kind enough to layout an exercise plan that will work best for me and my goals. I suppose I did not realize how much I need to incorporate lifting into my workout plan. I was under the impression that cardio with a few additional exercises would get the fat to go away. I figured once I lost the weight then I would start to lift to build up my muscles. Guess what, I was wrong. I am excited to start in on this new program as well as the new workout plan. I pick up my Post Purification Program from my Chiropractors today. I also just read the new guidelines again. Yea, I can do this!
