DAY 61 OF THE 100 DAY CHALLENGE!
Spot Reduction: Fact or Fiction?
Have you ever heard that doing crunches will get rid of the fat around your midsection? Or that walking on a treadmill will make your butt smaller? “Spot reduction”, as exercise physiologists call it, doesn’t work. When you combine activity with a good eating plan, you lose fat from all over your body. Exercise in general can firm and build muscle, resulting in a better looking body, but it can’t make a specific fat deposit disappear. So, keep up the amazing work you’re doing. Between the diet and your work outs, you’re getting fantastic results!
CHALLENGE: Start imagining other activities that you will try out as a novice. Your new body is going to open many “new” doors for you. Get ready for a lot of new challenges and a lot of fun!

Did my Friday weigh-in this morning and have lost another 2.4 lbs! My goal for the 100 Days was to lose 40 lbs - I am one pound away from that! So, I’m going to shoot for another 10 to 15 lbs! SWEET!
