Hello All!
Our google document was a good way for us to be accountable to each long enough that a healthy exercise and eating regimen could be formed. They say it takes 3 weeks for anything to become a habit, and we are all way past that. I write to ask how each one of you is doing. For the effort we're each putting in to that flat belly, recognition and admiration is also important- that's why this group exists! Let me start off with the progress I've made; I hope to hear from you all and applaud you in advance for the great work you've done!
I am currently at 155 lbs, 7 lbs lighter than when I started. I have lost some inches as well which is evident in all my pants looking baggier and quite shabby looking- but I love it! I am fitting in to clothes that I couldn't wear before. I eat at least one fruit a day and eat home-cooked meals every day. I limit eating out to a few times a month-every now and then it is necessary for me to indulge in chocolate or pizza! :D I jog or walk about 3-5 times a week- it varies with the week. I have been hiking several times over the last three months which, I believe, has contributed significantly to losing inches. I do drink coffee every morning; initially I wanted to give up coffee but I have abandoned that goal.
My current goal is to continue this lifestyle and lose an additional 10 lbs in the next few months. I have found a walking/jogging buddy so I hope to remain consistent. I send my jog stats to nikeplus.com and have set goals there to keep me motivated. During the winter months when it will be difficult for me to run outside I plan to join a gym nearby so that I can continue jogging!
What have you been upto these past few months?? Brag away, ladies!

I am SO VERY HAPPY for you, and so proud of you!! I'll let your post shine and set an example for our other friends, and eventually update everyone with my status (although I haven't done well on the weight loss front).
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I don't know how many of the girls who originally started with us are still keeping up their schedules, but I know there's at least a handful of us who have. So this is good!
