On Thursday I met with Katrina from Eleve MedSpa for my one month Vitality Program coaching appointment. We talked about how the program is going. Everything is going well, but I have been dealing with a little bit of stress lately because there are some major changes coming to my job, the kids are very busy, my husband is traveling a lot for work, and finding the time to go to the gym is also stressing me out. Stress Management is one of the pillars of health that the Vitality Program is focused on addressing. One of the ways to deal with stress is working out, but in my case I’m stressing out about finding the time to work out. Katrina told me that any movement is better than no movement so even if I can find time to go to the gym twice a week instead of every day that’s a win. She and I talked about how this is the season of life I’m in and there is a lot of unavoidable stress, but it will get better. We also talked about things that I can do to help manage the stress and one of the big things is that I need to ask for help. Even if it’s asking someone to help me get the kids to where they need to go so I can go to the gym.
Once we were finished talking about what is working and what is a struggle she took my measurements so we could compare. The number on the scale isn’t an accurate representation of weight loss because when you’re working out you are hopefully building muscle mass while also losing fat so the scale may not show a significant change, but measurements will. We set a goal of reducing my waist measurement by 1 inch in a month and I was down three! According to the scale I’m down 9 pounds.
I am excited to see what my next DEXA Scan shows in June. The DEXA Scan is a big machine that you lay in and it takes a crude xray type scan of your body. It can determine your body composition, fat vs. lean muscle. It also weighs you. They do this on occasion throughout your Vitality Program journey to be able to see the changes the program is making to your body.
Overall, I am still very happy with this program and I’m feeling so good. I love working with Katrina because she is always encouraging and that helps motivate me to keep going.
The changes that I’ve made in my eating habits have made a huge difference and I’m not even missing the things that I’ve cut out because I feel so much better.
