I am happy to report that I have managed to lose another 1 1/2 pounds this week. This puts my total loss since December 18th at 11 pounds!
Now I had reported that my goal by April was 170 pounds, but today when I was calculating what I still needed to lose I realized that 30 pounds by April puts me at 180. So I need to correct that, which I have done.
This leaves me at 2.3 pounds per week from now until April 1. We are celebrating Valentines on February 6th, which is 2 weeks away, so I am setting my goal for February 6th at a little higher than the 2.3 pounds. I am shooting to take off 6 pounds by February 6th. Which would put me under 200 pounds!
What I did well:
I exercised 4 days. I did pure cardio with a spattering of weights.
What I did poorly:
I ate 3 candy bars and had about 4 diet cokes. (I know ouch!)
Changes for the next 2 weeks to facilitate the 6 pound goal:
1) Cut out cheese
2) Cut sodas to 1 per week
3) Add upper body / lower body weights to circuit
Good luck to anyone else who is trying to get healthy!
