So far, so good. I haven't started any weight training program as of yet. I do work with small dumb bells at home, but don't feel comfortable working with the weight machines at the gym. Too many men in the room and it's been a long time since I've done any of that. I would like to get some time with a personal trainer before I start doing any of that. I have been spending a lot of time on the treadmill, elliptical and the stationary bike. I also jog about 2 miles on the track at Bally's. I love my ipod, what a great device. It really helps me along. I burn between 400 and 600 calories each work out. My husband and I purchased an elliptical and I love it. I also have a yoga ball and I love that too. I work out 3 - 4 times a week for 1 1/2 to 2 hours each work out. I have lost 19 lbs since October 10th. I had my husband hide the scale, because I was getting addicted to weighing myself.
I asked him to bring it out every couple of weeks so I can get a better idea of my progress. I am not going to get discouraged though if I don't lose any. It took me a month to lose the last pound, but that was before I started working out.
Yesterday I was able to fit into an outfit that I haven't worn in over 2 years. I got compliments from my co-workers. It was a nice feeling. I met with some old friends this evening and none of them noticed a difference, or at least they didn't say anything. I meet with them once a month, so we'll see if they notice anything next month.
I really do feel great. I think I look a little better, but nothing that spectacular. I have 60 lbs left to lose before my goal weight. If it takes me 6 months a year or more, it won't matter, because I know that I am doing it the right way. Long term results are my goal and good health is priority one!
Any way......I am babbling...just wanted to share the latest.
