Wow - another week has gone by. Last week I challenged myself to drink more water and exercise 45 minutes a day.
Updates in blue.
I LOVE myfitnesspal.com
It is awesome and helps me track everything I eat. I have the program on my phone, Kindle, and use it online. The phone app has a bar code scanner - just scan the bar code and it will enter all the nutritional info. The database has lots of restaurant meals. When we go out to eat - I look at the menu, put in what I *think* I want and decide if its ok or worth the extra workouts...

Major Achievements
Drank at least 9 glasses of water everyday
No soda this week
No headaches - not tired - feeling great
Weight Loss
I usually weigh myself Monday AM at the Fitness Center at work. I'll post an update tomorrow after I get into the office. I started with that scale, so I want to be consistent.
Down a total of 7 pounds in two weeks. I'm hoping I can keep loosing 2 pounds a week. Things have been going so well, I'm expecting a plateau at some point soon - that just means working out harder/longer.
Next week:
Continue drinking more water
Exercise 45 min a day
Do all 3 circuits of my Kettle Bell workout at least two days
I love this program. I have lost 4 pounds so far but my first 10 days were filled with drinking and eating everything bad in the house so I won't be tempted any more. I am exercising 10 - 15 minutes a day but after about 5 minutes my knee starts hurting and by 15 minutes I am done. This week has been soda free and no junk food. I love keeping everything on my iPad so I can enter food and drink as soon as I am finished. That is going to keep me going and honest. I know as I lose more weight the exercise will get easier and longer.
ReplyDeleteGreat Mom! Just remember step by step.
ReplyDeleteI just started using My Fitness Pal this week. I'm tracking my food again & seeing results. I'm going to work on exercising more consistently. I also need to cut out soda. Why is that one so hard? :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you both. It helps to know we're all working on this together.
