Healthy For Life – Week 33

Over two weeks into the new plan and I am finally showing some improvement. The wii tells me I lost 1.1 pounds this week. I am still above where I was in June but at least I am making progress in the right direction. So far so good. Let’s hope it stays this way.

The exercise is still continuing daily. I am doing an incline for a mile of it and continuing with the 3.12 miles daily. I will admit that it’s still pretty hard. Especially during the summer because the garage is so hot. But I just do it. Again and again, without fail.

I haven’t had coffee in a long time now, too. I have completely switched to tea. My plan over the next few weeks is to reduce the graham crackers as it’s one of the only non-whole things I am eating at this point. I am focusing on protein still with salads with chicken and bean burritos. Small steps of progress daily. That’s what it takes.

So on and on I go. I am truly hoping that I am back on the right path now. I have worked too hard to have this go awry now and I am determined to finish what I started.

and here’s this week’s card:

    You look amazing and I love the dress. You have given me so much inspiration I have been exercising 3 times a week for the last month. I don’t see any progress as yet but I know it will come.

    Karen, I think you look awesome. Please, please don’t forget that muscle weighs more than fat so even it you aren’t “losing” weight, you are more than likely growing muscle. How your clothes fit, how you feel over all is the real tell tale sign. So give yourself a break, pat yourself on the back and think back to where you started, where you are now and how different those two paths are. You are doing wonderfully (is that even a word) and are magnificent!
