Sorry for the delay in posts but I'm having computer issues and finally attempting this from my daughter's iPod.
So week four, after three weeks of walking 13 miles, I decided to do something a little different. You may think I'm nuts but Sweatin' to the Oldies won out and Richard Simmons kicked my butt that first day! I didn't quit and at the end of the week it really paid off with a 6 pound weight loss! Can you say one happy mama? I know I will have really great weeks like that here and there so I wasn't exactly surprised, but I was really excited to see that number.
Week five I decided to stick with Richard Simmons for one more week. After my 6 pound loss the week before I was expecting 1-2 pounds this week, if that. That 's just how it goes and that 's okay. I was pleasantly surprised with a 3 pound loss when I stepped on the scale! I am down 22 pounds in my first 5 weeks!!!
Numbers out of the way, let's talk about other important stuff. Exercise is no longer something I dread. In fact, I look forward to it. It's just what I do now, first thing in the morning usually. That's a milestone for me. Also, went to a birthday party Sunday and realized for the first time I didn't have to resist the cake and ice cream and other fatty foods, I honestly didn't want them in the first place. That is major.
Looking forward to next week's weigh-in, I'm back to walking this week but with The Biggest Loser: Powerwalk this time and it is crazy hard! I'm aiming for 17 miles this week. Also taking this advice: Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. So eating most of my points early on in the day and eating nothing after 6:00 pm. We'll see if these changes make any difference come Saturday.
