So today is Day 4…morning 4 to be precise, of my Body By Vi Mentoring program.
My student was reluctant to weigh in this morning. I’ve made her wait til this morning to see the results of all of our hard work. I had a pretty good notion that there would be some sort of success today but I really wasn’t prepared for what I heard coming from the vicinity of the bathroom scales.
While I held my breath and let her enter the “weighing in” section of the house, I was forced to wait…for about 10 seconds. The screaming was almost deafening!
“I LOST 4 1/2 POUNDS! ARE YOU $HITTING ME? (expletive)(expletive)” and lots more in the same vernacular.
It was pretty cool actually. Until you spend a few days on the Challenge you really don’t believe the claims of significant weight loss in short periods of time.
I can’t take all the credit for this first step toward successful weight loss, after all the grasshopper has done everything I’ve asked with minimal complaint.
That’s not entirely true. On day 1 I said “you can have good cop and lose 10lbs or you can have mean cop and lose 20, pick now.” She choose mean cop and while I don’t think I’m that mean, I have illicited the same look on her face as is on the face of the girl in the photo above. (there’s a great deal of satisfaction that comes with that 
High on her success, she has gone to the gym this morning without me! I warned her that we’ll be doing cardio on the local stairs this afternoon but she was determined.
We’ll see how tomorrow goes. So far we’re both having a great time!
