Congrats, roguegreenstarz!
You're off to a great start. Today was my 2nd weigh-in. I lost 4 pounds this week, making a total of 12 pounds lost. I feel great. This week, I was able to increase my exercise from 3 times a week to 4 times a week. I am now strong enough to do a solid hour on the elliptical machine. I am so excited! I have read that you have to change up your exercise routine every couple of weeks in order to keep the weight loss moving. That is because our bodies are so efficient that after a couple of weeks of doing the same exercise for the same length of time each time, weight loss will slow signficantly. (Our bodies get used to the same muscles being used and calories being burned.) That said, last week walking was my choice of exercise. This week, the elliptical machine. Next week will either be bike riding or Leslie Sansone's walking aerobic DVDs. I haven't decided yet. One night this week, I was so busy that I didn't have time to exercise, but I was still determined. So at about 11:30 at night, I got up and did an hour of aerobics with Leslie Sansone. Imagine that! I would not be defeated, and I'm so glad!
So today I rewarded my self with a new pair of shoes....well ok, 4 new pairs of shoes and a handbag. But at least my rewards are calorie and fat-free! lol
Keep up the great work! Here's to the new us!
