Slow Week

So this week was slow

not sure why

I only lost 1 pound

total of 9 now

I have added more free weights to my workout

so hoping I built a little muscle

maybe?

this weekend proved to be a little challenging

football game, birthday party and baking with my nieces

but I did good

only had one cookie

going to work that baby off today

that's the one I had right there

after all it was calling my NAME 

Happy Sunday friends. 

Goodbye 6 lbs.

I'm happy to report in that I've been on my

healthy eating and exercising routine for 

a week and a half

and I'm down 6 pounds

I know most is just water weight

but I'm pretty happy with my progress

I've been making a Body by Vi shake every morning

Lunch is either egg whites with veggies,

salad, or baked chicken.

Dinner has consisted pretty much the same

I did make some really good Body by Vi waffles 

in my Belgium waffle maker

found a recipe online and changed it to my liking

the waffle had 249 calories including the sugar free syrup

and it was yummy.  I posted the recipe a few days ago.

I have been riding my exercise bike for 1 hour every day

and I have been working out on the mat

crunches, jumping jacks, leg lift, burpies, hoola hoop

and even turned on the 80's channel and danced 

like a rock star a few times.

I've also started each morning with a glass of water with lemon and orange slices

In addition I have tried to drink 6 to 8 waters daily

I think I'm on the right track to healthy.

Determined

So, this time I'm determined

Set a goal

"Shed 20"

Started a new eating and workout routine

Body by Vi

The shakes are not bad

especially when you add fruit

There are so many things you can do with the powder

breakfast, lunch or dinner

I'm just sticking to the shakes for the first week or so

Two shakes a day, veggies and fruit for snack and one healthy meal

 I've started riding my exercise bike for 1 hour per day

planks, sit ups, crunches and leg lifts

 Drinking 8 glasses of water per day

I should have started this before summer,

not before winter,

buy hey - I guess anytime is a good time to start

I'm going to take it one day at a time

I have a BIG birthday coming up next May and

this mama wants to be healthy and in shape.

Wish me luck :)
