Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Last week was depressing--I was up 1 pound to 198. I'd been slacking and not exercising, and wasn't as careful with what I ate. Good lesson--hopefully one I won't have to learn again! So here are this week's stats:
Weight: 195!
Lost: 3 lbs
Total lost: 14 lbs.
I'm excited! 14 pounds is a lot. My goal on the Lose for the Fuse stuff is 40 pounds, but I'm really aiming for more like 50. (Because at my first weigh in I was heavier than I thought I was!) This is the skinniest I've been since my sister got married a year and a half ago. And then I was my skinniest after the wedding, because we'd been so busy I hadn't eaten a decent meal in days! It's good to know that I could pull that dress out of the closet and not pop the zipper! (I might do that, just for the encouragement...)
I have a new favorite piece of exercise equipment. It's called the "twister exerciser" and it's this really corny thing that my aunt bought in the '80s or something. It's a disc about a foot in diameter that... well, it's like a lazy susan that you stand on. It's not nearly as dangerous as I thought it would be--I haven't fallen off once, and I'm a klutz! I brought it to the station because I thought it was funny, but I've been reading a lot about the importance of core muscles (abs, sides, back), and Sara & I gave it a spin... literally. You stand on it and twist around, and it's a pretty good muscle strengthener. We keep it right in the studio, and when the mics aren't on, we twist around on it. It's actually kinda fun! (And this way, when I finally lose enough weight that I can see some muscle shapes around that area, there will be muscle there to see!)
