Losing 100+ pounds – Weekly Update – Week 16

Yeah – the scale is moving again!  Today’s number was 287.6, which is 2.4 pounds lost.  So this week the scale is my friend – and I’m working hard to  keep it that way!

But I do have to admit that since I’ve slacked off on my strength training, I’ve noticed some of my muscle tone that I developed during the 30 day Fat Loss Quickie program is going… so I’m getting pretty motivated to start another strength training program.

I am walking nearly every day, even if it is only 15 minutes on my treadmill while the kid watch PBS Kids. 

We got cable again a week or so ago so, the TV in the game room now has reception again. And that works great for me, because the treadmill is in the game room, facing the TV. So something to engage my brain, I can supervise the kids’ tv watching, and can get a walk in as well

My last two walks have been much faster, so I’m gaining strength and endurance there.

Now I’m looking for a Yoga program that my 12 yo and 10 yo can do with me. They’ve both asked for Yoga classes, but since I can’t do that right now, I suggested we do a family Yoga time, and they loved the idea! 

So if you have any suggestions for a good beginners Yoga program (preferably without being heavy in Eastern philosophy), please let me know.

The biggest change this last week has been to what I’m drinking.  After Angie and I’s cross-blog conversation about Diet Soda, and repeatedly reading what Craving Secrets says about the harms of Diet Soda, I’ve been seriously considering giving it up again.

Well… after reading through Isabel De Los Rios’ Diet Solution Program, I am convinced that drinking diet soda is hindering my weight loss. And quite frankly I want anything hindering my weight loss out of my way. So I’m happy to say I have been entirely soda free for over a week!

So, that’s pretty much this week. There’s more, but I’ll save that for other posts.  I hope you are having a great week and that you are reaching for your goals!
