The good news is I have lost 8 pounds. That's 2 pounds average per week for the month of January. Awesome!!! It is such a great feeling to see that scale going down down down!
Eating-wise, I'm really not doing anything special, other than making better choices and watching the portions. AND staying away from the Coca Cola! I had a total of 2, count 'em 2, Sprite Zeros in January. Considering I used to drink Coke every single day, that's a major improvement. My sister turned me on to this great little product called Snapple Sticks...I get the lemon tea flavor. You can get a box of 6 pre-packaged singles to go for $1.00 at Walmart. Mix one up in a bottle of water and voila! SO much better than soda! Of course I'm still constantly struggling to drink my ration of water a day.
I have started attending yoga classes at Courts Plus. I did try Zumba, but I think I'll stick with yoga for a while, at least until I've lost a little more weight and gained more strength. Zumba was tough on me and I had to take frequent breaks because my hip was bothering me so much. I love yoga and the way it makes me feel.
So...I'm just keeping on keeping on...2 more pounds and it will be time to celebrate the first 10 lost!
Onward!
