I didn't post week 7. I meant to, I just didn't get around to it. There really wasn't 't much to report, as the scale did not budge at my weigh-in. It happens. I know it happens. In the past it would have dampened my spirits, but this time I wasn't upset in the least. I literally said out loud, "Eyes on week 8" and got on with it.
I did decide to do a couple of things differently at the start of week 8. I've been drinking only water since December 29th, but realized maybe I wasn't drinking quite enough. So I set a goal of 10 8 oz. glasses a day and kept track. I also decided a change in exercise might do me good again. After two straight weeks if walking 17 miles, I decided to try my body at Zumba. At first I was a little worried that my 20-minute Zumba DVD wasn't enough because the walking I had been doing took 45-60 minutes each day. I quickly realized Zumba is crazy intense! I likely burned more calories in those 20 minutes than in an hour of walking. I said all week it was torture. It was HARD! I wanted to quit halfway in every day, but I didn't. It'll be a little while before I work up to the 50-minute DVD.
Yesterday was weigh-in day. Did my changes pay off? Did the scale budge, even a little? It sure did... 6 pounds, to be exact!!! That brings my total weight loss to 30 pounds. 7 pounds to go before I'm out of the 300s. Pretty good week if you ask me.
