Ok, it's working. I am now at 135 lbs. and so happy to be away from 138. I truly hope I NEVER see that number on the scale again. Phew! What am I doing that's working? Well, it boils down to lots and lots of sweat. It's so simple. It just ain't easy, baby. I religiously do my 2 mile dog walk EVERY DAY. Yup, every day, no slacking off. Except, ok I did just do my dog walk sans dog. He was being a total turd this morning and I thought I might just leave him somewhere if I tried to walk him. Take that Rowdy! Why don't you try NOT being such a freaking creep and then you get to walk with me and pee at Sparky's house. Sparky is a microscopic terrier who lives down the street and Rowdy loves him and always leaves him a pee message at his mailbox. I guess my point here is that even though the dog woke me up at 6am I still got my ass out the house and did some sweating.
But I digress. So 2 mile dog walk every day. Abs every day. Then I've been adding either a 1.5 mile run or a good 30-45 minutes on the spin bike. Clay bought the spin bike for himself but his butt never gets on it! It's mine!!! Ha! Then 3 days a week I do strength training. Qu'est que c'est 'strength training'? Well, I'm glad you asked, in French and all. Push ups of various kinds, more ab work, various martial art moves to get the hips and shoulders opened up in preparation for kick boxing on the heavy bag or wailing away with my kali sticks. I have learned that keeping all the wonderful muscle I have built is essential for weight loss and then maintenance. I have worked so hard for all these muscles and refuse to lose them. I am going to be the grandma with the cut shoulders!
Plus I am celebrating every small victory. And making my next goal really attainable. My next goal is 2 lbs by next week. Very doable and it will get me to 90 lbs. lost!!! Wow, that will be something to celebrate, but not with cake or alcohol or other empty calories. Maybe a new pair of shoes though.
