Last Monday I weighed 169 lbs. Today I weigh 165!!!!! I LOST 4 POUNDS!!!!!!! Hurray for me!
Seeing the numbers on the scales drop are a real motivator to keep up the good work, but I must remind myself that weight loss is not my #1 goal; it is to maintain a healthy heart. My goal for this week is to increase my activity level. I want to put in at least 3 good cardio workouts this week as well as pulling the hand weights and exercise ball out of the closet and start building some muscle.
Remember daily dietary guidelines:
- 2 servings dairy
- 2 servings lean meat (include some fish each week)
- 5 servings whole grains
- 5-6 servings fruits and vegetables (more veggies than fruit, and raw is best. Include green, leafy vegetables in there)
- 2 tsp. healthy oils
- 6 - 8 glasses of water (or other non-caffeinated liquid)
- Multi-vitamin/mineral supplement
- Increase your activity level (Burn, baby, burn!!!)
I'm excited about my results this week. How did you all do?

Well....while I'm not completely happy....I am happy for every little bit!!! I worked so hard on my food intake and exercised 5 days of the week for 30 min. each but only lost 2 lbs. Last week I weighed in at 153 and today I weighed in at 151.
I lost another pound this week. Slowly but surely. That is almost 17 lbs total.I have to remind myself that I have been at this for several weeks and it does get slower without really increasing my activity. Good luck to all this week!
