Could we fail anymore at keeping a blog together? I totally forget that I have this and that I should be updating it, especially when it comes to the diet that we’ve been on. It’s now been about 6 or 7 weeks since we started the diet and we are still seeing pretty good results, even on Valentine’s Day weekend when we went to eat a fondue restaurant, had chocolate and expected to lose nothing.
As of today I am down almost 20 pounds, 19.2 to be exact. I’m still a bit away from my 1st preliminary goal and 43 my 2nd goal. I intend to evaluate my diet at that point and see if its feasible for me to lose a little more weight to get to a healthier weight that I’m sure will also make me even more comfortable.
Something really great happened today and just goes to show that this is helping us. Wednesdays are grocery shopping days and usually they involve a bit of pain, especially for Chris. But today he pointed out something that I hadn’t noticed; today at the store he hadn’t complained a bit and he said he hadn’t been in pain during the hour plus trek through Kroger. It makes me so happy to hear him say things like that!
We have broken out the Wii Fit again, though I’ve only used it once so far this week and Chris not at all. But, tomorrow the plan is for both of us to take a go at it. I was so sore from my first trip on it that I chickened out today, but I figure if I stick to 15 minutes every other morning for a week and then bump it up to either 15 a day or 30 every other day I will be burning a lot more calories and seeing more weight come off.
I’d love to get a stationery bike. My mom has one and she loves it and I checked it out at herself and I’m jealous. It’s one of those things that you just have to keep thinking on. We are trying so hard to finish paying our credit cards off to start saving more and I know if I got it it would be another 175.00 on the credit cards. But it may just be one of those necessary purchases if it helps keep me going at this diet. I want to be able to exercise and watch TV or listen to music or read a book and the bike would be great for that. We’ll see! Maybe we will win the lottery!
