Working on It!
I lost three of the pounds I regained during my “time off” and I am confident that the rest will come off this week and next. Due to a number of (legitimate) factors, I was not able to exercise this week as I’d hoped, but I am again determined to get back in the groove of that again.
I did do the “kitchen sink” strength exercises a friend recommended to me. Standing at your kitchen sink with your feet back away from the sink and your hands resting on the edge, you do slooooooow push ups against the edge, really taking your time to get there and back.
Then you do kitchen sink squats, holding onto the edge for support and eeeeeasing down so slowly and then moving up very slowly. You do a set of 12 of each of those 3 times a day. You will be sore if you do them right. Oh yes. You will be sore.
The eating is going well overall. I am mostly having lean proteins on those whole wheat sandwich thins that I love, fruit and salad, with a bit of potatoes thrown in from time to time. Portion control is still a priority.
The kids and I are watching the new season of Biggest Loser together and enjoying it. I like bringing them into my weight loss and letting them see what a struggle it can be, but that it’s possible to success with dedication.
Take care, folks! More later!
