well I am now one week in and two lbs down….last week I worked on trying to make good decisions (re: food) and staying active (when I’m bored I eat)…. Yesterday I got up and got on the elliptical for 30 mins. It’s amazing how much easier it is with clean lungs! Then last night I did 20 push-ups, 20 lunges, 10 tricep lifts and 25 crunches. I also inflated the big orange ball - which I will use today. This a.m. I got up and did 30 min. on the elliptical - I worked a lot harder today than yesterday and my butt and quads are feeling it! I’m off to Vegas with my honey and some friends on March 1 and I am feeling some serious pressure to get at least 8 more lbs. off by then! I know it’s doable but I know it equates to lots of working out and lots of stepping away from the fridge…. I just keep seeing a thinner and younger looking me! I know I’m in here! and I’m ready to bust out!
