Hey Yall,
Just wanted to give you a progress report. As stated in an earlier blog, I have a chart to note my weight loss progress, with the hopes of being to 180 by Sept 3. So far I am off to an okay start. I lost 1.5 lbs the first week, and maintained the second week (this is actually good considering the week I had). I must say though, today has been a pretty good day. My eating has been on point and I have done a lot of exercising. So far I have done some dancing, I went for a walk/jog- and even jogged my farthest yet, did pilates/yoga, and will end the night doing a dance workout. Today I can truly say I have put forth the effort I should and can go to sleep a happy woman. However, the true test comes next week. I am going on a "vacation" with work to Florida. This means I have a lot less control over what I get to eat because we will have a lot of group meals. We are staying at a resort, so hopefully they will have some sort of a work out facility. I believe my goal will be to wake up early each day (or at least schedule time each day) to work out for an hour. It may be doing laps in the pool, or an all out workout in the gym, but either way I am going to work out while on vacation. Hopefully between this, all the walking I will be doing visiting the different theme parks, and watching what I eat, I will be able to survive this trip and maybe lose some weight in the process. Be praying for me that I stay strong. How is everyone else doing with their weight loss? Any triumphs? Any struggles? Let me know!

ReplyDeleteHey lady, keep up the good work! Yes, you will walk TONS in the theme parks, so that'll be good. It'll also likely work up an appetite, so you may want to bring along some healthy snacks, like apples or carrots. As for the group meals, if you have the option of ordering, you know what foods are good for you, and if you're simply presented with food, be careful about portion control, and you should be alright. Drink tons of water, too! Today was a successful weigh in for me, made it past a 3 week plateau, which will hopefully be downhill for awhile. Good luck and have fun!
ReplyDeleteAmy- I definitely understand plateaus, ive been at mine for probably 2 months now lol. I do not have a lot of time to work out due to my hectic work schedule, today i just made it work. I am glad to hear of your good weigh in! I am definitely planning on doing all of those tips you gave me. If I remember I will also bring my pedometer to give me some encouragement and to track how much I have walked.
