No mater what your age, secrets are fun: secret family recipes, secret clothing store where you find amazing deals, secret perfume that gets you lots of compliments, etc. Usually, when people start to lose weight they DON'T want to keep it a secret. In fact, it's quite the opposite, and they want to scream it from the rooftop. A coworker of mine was discussing this with me on Friday, how he has lost 40 pounds but no one seemed to notice. I told him that people did, they most likely weren't sure how to say "hey did you lose weight?" without potentially offending him. He is the type of person who wants people to notice his weight loss and say something to him. In essence, he wants everyone to know that he's accomplishing some personal goals. Well, not everyone wants to do that. Some, like Angel Noël, like to hold the accomplishment in and let it steep. She can feel it infusing throughout her body, especially during Fiona's Challenge. Sometimes at work she'll get up from her desk and feel soreness in her muscles that she didn't even know she had before taking a FOCUS session. She says she quickly looks around to see if anyone else notices, and is happy when she exhales a sigh of relief that her secret is safe... that no one knows if they had a contest she could hold a plank for longer than most of the people in the room.
Noël, and the rest of the Angels, can't wait to see how much we've changed. Our final check-ins are coming soon, and while we'll be sad when the challenge is officially over we'll be excited to see our progress from the past month. We've shared some fitness secrets with one another, and we'll continue to utilize what we've learned! One "secret" that I don't mind sharing with you on this blog... my team is awesome and I'm going to miss seeing these girls at the gym, and our post bootcamp dinner bonding sessions. Just over a week left!
