Weight 04/22/09: 216.9
Today: 215.7
Change: -1.2
I have really busted my butt this week. I’ve been doing the Shred religiously, and last night I even tried Blast Fat, Boost Metabolism. (I kind of considered it my “last chance workout”) It’s hard but in a different way than the Shred. It’s a lot longer, and it’s all cardio.
I’ve been drinking a lot of water, which is significant for me because before I could go all day without having one glass! I think I need to be patient and let my muscles lose some water weight before I get too discouraged with my slow progress. I think the increased water will help with that. I’ve also cut coffee to one cup a day because I read it makes you retain water.
I only measured my waist last week, but I according to my measurement this morning I lost a solid inch off the ol’ gut! I’m really proud of that. And as I posted yesterday, the “hump” is pretty much gone from my backside!
All in all I think this week has been a success! On to next week.

I just spent some time reading back through your blog and we have alot in common! I always felt like I was overweight as a child and through highschool. Looking back, I realize how wrong I was. After I met my husband, we did the same thing as you and your husband, we enabled each other and we both gained. I started off my first pregnancy heavier than I should have, and after had so much to lose. But I joined WW and lost almost 50 pounds. I didn’t get to my goal weight before baby #2, but I was so much healthier. Now I’ve lost the baby weight from #2 and I’m trying to lose the rest of the weight to reach my goal. It’s a long road, but you CAN do it! Starting off with exercise right away is such good thing. I didn’t exercise and looking back, I wish I had. Now I’m shredding and I feel so great about myself.
Keep up the good work! You’ll lose the weight, and you’ll be so much healthier!!
