Making Progress
Apr 13, 2008
I am still not making the best eating choices -- ate some Junior Mints today -- but I am exercising a lot more and feel better. I was walking outside every day, but allergy season is killing me so now I am walking on my treadmill. I set it at 2.8 miles per hour and I have been walking for about 40 - 45 minutes a day. I actually break into a sweat and feel like I'm making progress. I wish that there were a "magic cure" for loose skin! No amount of exercise seems to tighten my stomach, inner thighs or arms. I hope that as I lose more weight, my skin will tighten a bit more. This summer, assuming we don't have another monsoon season like we did last summer!, I'll be able to swim again every day. I love to swim and the exercise should help with loose skin. If all else fails, I may look into joining a gym for the summer to work with weights and other cardio machines. Now, if I can only get my eating under control ...
Frustration
Apr 03, 2008
I seem to have hit a plateau lately. Also, I am not making good food choices. It's not that I'm eating anything that is just awful, but I'm eating too much. I know that I have restriction, some anyway, but I am "nibbling" on junk. I am hoping that once school is over, six more weeks, that I will be in better control again. In the meantime, I plan to continue walking as much as possible. I have lost 78# since October, but I had hoped to lose 100# by the six-month mark.
