Healthy Weight Loss

Good morning healthy peeps! WOW, look at this motivation today... let's keep it going!

I love the music y'all are posting for your workouts. Here is a sample (off the top of my head) of what I've got going on right now...

Settlin' ~ Sugarland (more like a theme song and always my warm up song)
Edge of Glory ~ Lady Gaga
London Bridge ~ Fergie
So What ~ P!NK
You and your hand ~ P!NK
Get me bodied ~ Beyonce
Drop it low ~ Ester Dean
Saltshaker ~ Ying Yang Twinz

I went to a WW meeting last night. Let me tell you, it was packed ~ and this place does 2 meetings a day. They had all the WW snacks, smoothies, kitchen gadgets and cookbooks that you could think of. They had 3 lines of people, weighing in & buying stuff. I did find out (through a not so nice volunteer) that because I was using the online program, that I could only sit in on ONE meeting. I almost grabbed my keys and left, but decided not to let one bad apple ruin my experience... so I sat in on the meeting. Great information about portion control ~ which has always been a downfall for me.

Even though I cannot go to the local meetings, I feel extremely lucky to have y'all here... to keep eachother motivated & on the right track.

Today was my weekly weigh in ~ and I'm down 1 more pound! Hey, as long as I'm not gaining weight, it's a move in the right direction. I know that my numbers could be a lot better, if I could get my butt moving more. After leaving the meeting last night, I did go to the gym and get a workout in. I did 20 minutes on the eliptical (which is about 1 1/2 miles). My legs feel like jelly today. Then I did some arm weights and some crunches for another 15 minutes.

As of 6 weeks, I'm down 12 pounds. That might not seem like a lot, but I'm starting to tell more in the way my clothes are fitting. Today, I'm going to buy a fabric tape measure and start keeping up with my measurements (waist, hips, bust & thighs). Even though the scale might not be moving as quickly as I hoped (damn need for instant gratification), I do know that I've been losing inches. That will be another motivator for me, too!

So, let's keep the momentum going y'all! Have a freakin' fabulous day
