I am exercising about 4X a week. I rotate pilates, walking, and now strength training. The strength training involves aerobic exerise while holding one pound weights. I don't really diet. I just watch amounts especially, since I am on so many meds now (lexapro, buspar, seroquel, and topamax). My goal was to get toned and slimmer. Well, I am defiantly getting firmer. My body isn't slimming. It's just seems my body is firming and the behind area has defiantly raised or done something different. Everyone has been commenting on it. (I almost feel self conscious now.) I don't recognize this body. What's going on? Is the muscle just taking the place of the fat? I always was a very petite person and very thin. Now, I am get bigger and bigger. This is embarrassing, but my underware isn't fitting as well either. It's that ever growing toning behind!! Whose body is this? My shirts are all getting tight too. I guess it's muscles in the back and arms. Everyone asks, "Did you gain weight?" That's not what I really wanted to hear. I feel like I must be doing something wrong here. I look at Shape magazine cover and I don't look like that lean look that I want. I look like shorter stocker person. I am not a person that will starve themselves or go on radical diets. I know that I will not adhere to that plan. How do those models get so toned, but lean? I must be doing something wrong here.
