Biggest struggle for me was my stubborn body
-- I did everything right and I did not see any results. I think I am hanging onto some bloat, I am sure I have lost some weight. I kept my calories very low.
This week I am adding exercise back into my life. I lost the first 30 pounds by eating 1200-1300 calories and exercising average of 100 minutes per day.
So today I power walked through woods for 4.2 miles in 60 minutes, lifted weights for 40 minutes (I was sooo tired afterwards), and super power walked on treadmill (4.7mph) for another 20 minutes. Grand total of 120 minutes of movement; yay!
I am hoping that I will see a whoosh soon, it is so sad to step on that scale and see it either to stay the same or even creep up, when one counted every bite a day before.
Tomorrow I am volunteering all day, so I can not walk my doggie in the woods, but I will go and either swim for 45-60 minutes or take a step aerobic class. I will try to do something each day from now on.
I follow (loosely) 5:2 plan; tomorrow I will fast. Fasting is easy on my volunteer days, I am stuck in an office (I am a membership chair for a local organization) all day without any food, and I usually don't have time to leave the building to go and "hunt" for some
Good luck this week ladies! Let's kick some butt
