Week 4 Update

My apologies for not posting before now.  Somehow life just gets in the way sometimes...lots been going on.

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!

Congrats to your weight lose and your life style changes.....I know when I want to lose wight I stick to a 1200 calories of food (any kind) justn so it stays under that 1200 mark.
