The Weigh In - 2.4 Pounds Lost!

Well, another 2.4 pounds has gone. Yippee! I only need to do what I've already done approximately six more times and I'll be at my goal weight. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

I did better than expected this week. I didn't get in any working out (see previous post) and that was kind of a bummer. But I did stick to the plan!

This week my goal is to continue to stay on track with my points. I would like to get more working out in. Weight loss aside, regular exercise just has so many health benefits. I want to be able to keep up with my child and any future children. I want to have a healthy heart and lungs so that I can live to an old, incredibly wrinkly age. I want to avoid the "Cherrington arms". All family members will know of what I speak. Right now my arms are headed down that path. Sooo...while I've been doing great incorporating the treadmill, I need to do push-ups and tricep dips and bicep curls and the like **huge groan**. Let's just say workouts that focus on weight resistance are not my favorite. But totally a must for a healthy and fit body. Also, weight resistance exercises are proven to prevent osteoporosis, something I'd like to avoid in my old, wrinkly age.

  1. I have always refered to cherrington arms as "the flap".
