2008 Will Be Great

not quitting

Friday, November 30, 2007 21:01:16

Ok, I know this is about the time when most people start giving up on their New Year's resolutions. I realize that this is a lifestyle change and not a temporary "diet." So I'm taking another deep breathe and moving forward.

I did gain 2/10ths of a lb this week but I know it's because of my food choices and that time of the month.

So let's focus on the positives since the beginning of the year - I still lost 8 lbs and I have increased my physical activity and tapered my eating intake.

Let's keep moving forward. Hang in there everyone.

Slowing down

Friday, November 30, 2007 22:04:14

Only .8 weight loss but I'm happy with that. I switching from the Special K diet to Weight Watchers. I need to become disciplined again writing down what I eat to track point and/or calories.

I have been diligent about my exercise so I'm proud of that fact.

I watched the Biggest Loser on Tuesday and I was sad to see the pink team go because Betty Sue was a funny character.

Hang in there everyone.

Lost over 8 lbs in 2 weeks

Friday, November 30, 2007 23:03:17

So after 2 weeks on the Special K diet, I lost a little over 8 lbs where they advertised that you would lose 6 lbs. So I'm very pleased!

This next week I'll be at my parents which will be a challenge. My goal is to keep my calorie intake to around 1500 calories.

Thanks to everyone for your support.

Down 6 lbs in one week

Saturday, December 1, 2007 00:09:12

Yahoo! After 1 week on the Special K diet, I lost 6 lbs. I was thrilled!

We're continuing on the Special K diet one more week. It gets tough around the 4 - 6 PM. It makes the diet tolerable to look forward to a full meal by the end of the day.

Also, I'm continuing w/ exercise 45 - 60 minutes every day.

THe show "The Biggest Loser" is motivating to watch every Tuesday night. Keeps us going.

Week 2 of Special K diet

Saturday, December 1, 2007 00:07:15

Ok, we're now into week 2 of the Special K diet. My partner and I took Saturday off and counted pts following the Weight Watchers plan. It was enough of a break to make us get through week 2.

Tonight is the first workout in boot camp - it goes on for 6 weeks. ALso, I'm continuing to work out 45 - 60 minutes a day. The TurboJam DVDs are fun and challenging.

Tomorrow I'm weighing in and we'll see how the first week went.

Starting Special K Diet

Saturday, December 1, 2007 00:02:12

We're off - day 1 of Special K Diet. We were pretty hungry by the end of the day but it was helpful to keep busy - building a workbench in the basement was the project for the day.

Also, I increased my exercise to 1 hr per day and hopefully I can squeeze in a few more minutes throughout the day. Every little bit has to help. Today I did the Biggest Loser Low Cardio workout and the TurboJam 15 min Learn and Burn workout.

Yesterday I went to a website to do a "virtual model" to compare what I look now to what I WILL look like when I reach my goal weight. It was fun. Give it a try www.mvm.com. You can customize the hair, height, weight, younger or older looking. Pretty cool.
