Not every day is awesome

Well, first setback. I posted bad numbers this week although I'm still following the diet very strictly. I lost some inches, but I wasn't impressed with those numbers when I had gained weight, lost muscle, and lowered my hydration level. I really didn't expect a setback this early in the game.

To make matters worse, I have to start doing cardio 3x a week in addition to the Tuesday/Thursday group classes. I loathe exercise in all its forms save for training for a sport (like lacrosse or field hockey). Since I can't train for one of those teams in the poor shape in which I currently exist, I have to do boring, old, treadmill/bike workouts.

So WiO isn't a magic fix. I knew it wasn't from the start, but I still had hope that I'd continually lose. I felt a bit patronized by Kris (not her fault at all though) because she seemed so impressed with my numbers anyway. I'm a "tell it to me straight" kind of person.

My new goals for this week are to get my hydration back up by drinking at least 125oz of water a day, do my cardio 3x a week, and go to both weekly workout sessions.

More words on cost - in addition to buying the MRP for $80 a week I had to buy Udo's oil at $42 for 32oz, and I'll have to buy the flour and sweetener separately if I want to make my own bread/muffins/cookies, or I can pay to buy the pre-made ones at Elevate. This is the shadiest thing I've seen so far, and it really isn't that shady. I do think WiO should post the prices of their other products and the products you need to buy in order to properly do the program.
