So I was a little discouraged the other day when after a week of riding my bike to work and doing slim in 6 four days, also mountainbiking I stepped on the scale and gained 5 lbs. I was a bit taken back by this because I feel like I have been working so hard that I should at least have lost 1 lb but I didn't. I took Saturday and Sunday off from working out and it was really difficult to do the workout yesterday. Actually it was quite comical. I was trying to do reverse lunges and I couldn't stay balanced, I was more swaying to the left, right, front and back than doing lunges. Today I did much better. I was almost able to do all of the repetitions of the workouts so it feels better. I was hoping to have lost 5 lbs from my original weight by time we get together in 1 1/2 weeks but that might not work. Just needed to vent a little. Keep up the great work ladies. Just imagine the example we are the kids and nieces and nephews. Also I'm sure this is encouraging for mom and dad. Keep it up. Love. Cynthia
