I have noticed one change though. My bum has shrunk. While a lot of women would kill for this outcome, I am not pleased. I carry my weight like a flotation device around my middle -- I'm the body type that women's magazines constantly refer to as 'Apple', and the one that is consistently hardest to dress.
Basically, I need a bit of junk in my trunk to give the illusion that I have a waistline, and to balance out my top half. If my ass continues to disappear, I'm looking at this body type:
Don't you wish you could choose the area where you lose weight? I once read an article about some scientist who figured out how to grow a human ear on the back of a mouse. Surely we can figure out how to target certain body areas for weight loss.
And speaking of weight loss, I've only lost one pound this month. Not much of an achievement. Last month I whined about only losing 5 pounds, but when I saw my doctor a few weeks ago she said that I shouldn't lose weight any faster than that or I'd get more gallstones. (Yes, gallstones. It's like I'm 85.)
This month is month 3, so it's all about making sure I don't miss any bootcamp classes, and trying to eat more veggies. (And maybe doing fewer lunges and more sit-ups, in case that makes any difference.)
From what I've heard, it's impossible to "target" weight loss, even by doing exercises to work the muscle located under the fat. By that logic, it seems like you should be doing MORE exercises to build muscle in your ass, to replace the fat that you're losing there. But then, I don't really know what I'm talking about, so, grain of salt.
ReplyDeleteLook into what the famouse people do (like J. Lo). She maintains her bum's shape. I'm sure there are great toning exercises you could do! I personally wish I could get rid of my belly. I have monster thighs too...but I'd be happy about my body if I just lost belly weight. Stupid beer prevents this, however.
