Day 23: Down 8lbs

I finally took a breath and stepped on the scale at the gym a few days ago. I was greeted by a happy surprise as I am down a total of 8lbs since starting the GNC total lean shake 23 days ago.

It felt good to see the success in front of my eyes. I always tell people that steady is the way to progress. I know that weight loss and fitness is not a weekly goal it's a life long achievement.

I'm a certified personal trainer, but, pregnancy and having a desk job lead me down the wrong path. But, knowing that you need to change and taking the effort to make the change is what matters.

Truth is I don't want to be "thin" I want to be fit. I think curves are the most beautiful thing on a woman. There's been a confusion between fat and curvy, curvy is not fat, curvy is what makes the boys go mamamamama :-).

Heroin chic is out, pin-up girl is in. I've always been proud of my hour glass figure. I just want it to have nice abs.

Anyway, I ask all of you if you're going to take the shake to take it as a part of your daily life style. Do it because it's a healthy choice not a miracle cure. It takes work, dedicated, determination and a life change. But, remember as corny as it sounds, work to be the best you not the best "her".
