...Or at least that's what my EA Active trainer, whom I've dubbed Sassy Sarg, told me today. And you know what, I believe her! As I said in yesterday's post, Wednesdays are my weigh-in day. In the ultimate fighting championship between the scale monster and me...I kicked its badonk-adonk! That's right, folks, I met my goal of losing two pounds this week, and it feels more than amazing. It's "weigh" amazing! Ha Ha! Here's to round 2, scale...I'll meet you in the ring next Wednesday.
So a new week begins today, and I don't know if my body is just pooped or what, because it definitely wasn't pumped for another workout. I had two sessions of long laps and "kick ups" (basically kicking your own butt with your heels while running), and no lie, I was breathing so hard, the very-laid-back hubs was like, "oh my gosh, are you ok? Lift your arms over your head! Sip water!" If that wasn't enough hilarity for Sassy Sarg, she continued the brutality with lunges, bicep curls, basketball, inline skating and boxing. Workin' it!
Now on to the big reveal. I gave a few clues in yesterday's post about something I'm going to add this week to my food and fitness plan. It's called ACV -- apple...cider...vinegar. I first heard about this supposed slim-down secret from my sister, Sarah, who loves all things natural. She buys organic fruits and veggies, travels to Tennessee for raw milk and researches the vast array of vitamins, enzymes and other good-for-the-bod products that stock the shelves of health food stores. So, I thought I'd take her advice with a teaspoon of ACV and give it a swirl. I did a little research of my own, and while some studies say there is no conclusive evidence that the sweet-sounding tonic can lessen your lovehandles, others say it does have medicinal qualities that can support weight loss, like stabilizing blood sugar levels. (Both sides of the debate are discussed in this article on naturalnews.com)
So I went and bought a bottle of the stuff this evening, and abiding by my Internet teacher, looked for the words organic, raw, unfiltered and mother (scratching my head on this one) on the label. I guess I'll be the lab mouse and down a spoonful or two with water before meals for a week or so starting tomorrow. Who knows...maybe it will be everything it claims. Let's just hope I don't start growing limbs and have someone come read a book under me. (Wink)
