Couldn't have been more right about not wanting to weigh in if I tried...finally bit the bullet tonight and stepped on the scale before my session with Paul tonight. I shouldn't have done it...in just under 2 weeks I have only lost ONE POUND!!! I have been following the nutrition program (with the exceiption of 2 glasses of wine on Saturday), I have been to the gym 7 of the past 10 days - either with my trainer or just doing cardio - but the point being I was pretty upset about only losing one pound...and then as I was doing one of my exercises, I broke the tension band which didn't help matters at all.
Now, I know that I have only been doing this for a little over a week, but isn't the first week when you see the big number??? I am trying to keep in mind that this is a 3 month program and I can't expect to see too much of a change right away. Paul was very supportive and talked about how it is important to weight yourself at the same time of day on the same scale, how we are building muscle that will weigh more than fat (blah, blah, blah) - it is all about the numbers - and '1' was not one of the numbers I had even considered.
So I am pretty upset - and I have to admit that my determination is seriously dented at the moment, but hopefully a good night's sleep will help...after all it may only be 1 pound but at least it is in the right direction.

Keep up the great work - the big numbers you are hoping for will come. Especially if you start coming to 6am cycle! :)
FYI - when I started training for my half marathon I was expecting to lose some weight (actually that was one reason I agreed to do a stupid HM in the first place...)
Did I lose wieght?? HELL NO! I GAINED 5 pounds! Talk about a downer!
I say screw the numbers on the scale and see how your clothes fit. That's how I can tell if I'm "gaining" or "losing" weight. I can tell if my body shapped has changed or not.
(ha! my word verf is "oboot"! They must know I'm commenting on a Canadian blog.. ; )
