Hooray!
Today is the first day in at least a year that I weighed less than 150 pounds!! After five weeks of calorie counting and daily exercise, I’ve made it down to the 140s (well, 149 on the nose). That’s nine pounds in five weeks and I’ve never felt ravenously hungry. I’m enjoying [...]

since I posted here. It’s been a busy week but I’ve managed to exercise twice daily, even if the second workout was just a 10-minute Yoga Booty Ballet abs/core session. I’m going away for the weekend (which should include lots of hiking) and next week am committed to stepping up my exercise program, since my [...]

I love this day - got up and took a mile walk before it got too hot. Tied up a lot of loose ends with errands and housework, did YBB’s Cardio Cabaret workout, did a very little bit of work-work, made some great iced tea, and now am lounging before dinner. I love having no [...]

I was having a great day until I decided to do three 12-minute ab/core workouts AND half of an hour sculpt workout this evening. Maybe it was the heat, maybe it was having eaten something right before, maybe I just overdid it - but afterwards I felt totally nauseated and it’s just now - 1 [...]

After three and a half weeks of calorie counting and near-daily walks, I’ve lost an inch - hooray - from my waist! (and six pounds)
Wearing a pedometer now as added incentive to move and waiting for Yoga Booty Ballet to arrive to jump start the toning/strength work (and kick up the aerobics).
Picked up lots of [...]
Calorie counting pizza
Yep, I ate nearly two pieces of pepperoni and mushroom pizza for dinner. It was too close to my calorie count limit for comfort so I took another 30-minute super brisk walk and now feel much better about the whole thing.
This calorie counting/exercise thing really works!!
Monday morning and measurements
Hard to kick back into gear this a.m. Postponed usual morning walk to midday since it was still raining pretty hard this a.m. Had a good weekend, calorie-, exercise- and weight-wise; looking forward to stepping the exercise up this week with some Yoga Booty Ballet.
Think I’ll take my measurements before starting this (first [...]
Calorie counting works!
I was amazed this morning when the scale reported another pound lost. I had stayed within my calorie count yesterday but, with a beer and dinner out, thought somehow I would be tipping the scale. What a pleasant surprise!
It is harder for me on weekends not to nibble, but I can be more [...]
Night out with the boy
My 15 year-old son and I have a most-Friday-nights ritual of going out to our local pub and having a bite to eat (well, we usually have a lot of bites). It’s a challenge for me as, after a pint of local ale, there aren’t too many calories left.
Tonight we walked there and back [...]
Five pounds!!!
I was thrilled to see that near-daily walking combined with very slight calorie restriction is showing results. I definitely have not felt deprived of food/drink, but have really been focusing on portion control, eating less starchy/sugary foods and taking walks.
I love food and have been exploring a lot of new lower calorie foods and enjoying [...]
