So after last week’s fiasco, I’m back and ready to post some progress on the weight loss front. Since I started two weeks ago I’ve lost a total of 2.2 pounds. I’m not thrilled with this progress, but losing any amount is better than gaining. I had my stress test at the cardiologist on Monday and I go back on Thursday for the results. I’m hoping everything is fine and that the Dr. will give me the go-ahead to start an exercise program. At my initial appointment he said I would need to exercise an hour a day. I think I’m going to have to work up to that a bit. I’m totally out of shape. Well, unless you count round. Round IS a shape. I’m not in a position to re-activate my gym membership, but we do have the stationary recumbent bike at home. I’ll use that. The weather is finally starting to get a little less horrific down here in Florida, so I also plan to take more walks in the evening. I may also try to DVR some exercise shows and do those as well. I need variety or I’ll get bored.
I also wanted to share with you a great website. It’s Spark People. This website lets you track your weight, blood sugar, and any measurements you want. It also has a journal to log all your food and track calories, fat, carbs, etc. The best part? It’s completely free! So far I’ve only scratched the surface of all this website has to offer. I highly encourage you to check it out.
Now, I have to confess something that may spark debate. I have ordered Herbalife to kick-start my weight loss. I did a fair amount of research and talked to my cardiologist about it. He has okayed it. I know some might thing it’s cheating in a way, but my view-point is whatever helps and is healthy is okay. I don’t know how long I’ll stay on it, but I plan to do it for a minimum of 30 days and see where I am. I will then determine if I want to continue with it or not.
So, how are you all doing with your weight loss programs?
You should try Alli. It really works. Also looking into the P90X workout. After I start my job I’m going to buy all the things you need to do P90X. Like weights, a pull up bar etc. I want to be a twink again and have a body thats on point
