Week 10

Wow! What a big week!  I went to Las Vegas this week and lost more than my money.  At this week's weigh in, I lost 6.1 pounds!  I stayed away from the buffets in Las Vegas.  I found a Chipolte on the strip (by Harrah's) that actually didn't inflate their prices.  The prices were the same as my local Chipolte in Albuquerque.  Anyway, I had their Chicken Salad with cheese, sour cream, medium and mild salsa, NO beans, NO rice or NO dressing.  This configuration has only 8 net carbs!
I also did my Richard Simmons "Party Off the Pounds" DVD for the first time when I got home. It was actually fun and it didn't feel like exercise. I sure was sweatin' after I was done.  So everything combined worked to help me lose 6.1 pounds this week.  It's great re-enforcement to see such great results..
Oh, one more milestone this week, I now have less that 100 pounds to lose.

Me, after "Richard Simmons' Party Off the Pounds". I sure was sweatin' :-)

Week 9

Another 1.7 lbs gone!  Woohoo!  Yeah, it's just under 2 lbs, but it's gone and it isn't a gain!   Tomorrow, I heading to Las Vegas!  I'll be doing a lot of walking (and gambling.. hehe).   I will stay away from the buffets, I promise.  Hopefully with all this  moving this week, next week's numbers will be good.  When I get back from my trip, I plan on starting (don't laugh) Richard Simmons' Party off the Pounds.  It really looks like a fun way to get some cardio and to get me moving. There will NOT be any videos posted of me, partying off the pounds!  Sorry.

Week 8

Yay!  I lost another 3.6 pounds..  I'm down to 287.6 lbs for a total loss of 33.9 lbs in 8 weeks.. Not too shabby, huh?   I'm feeling better, feeling more energy.  Don't laugh, but I just ordered a Richard Simmons Sweatin' to the something or other.  I feel like it's low impact and will get me moving.  It's not suppose to come in until Friday, so this week I'll concentrate on moving and walking and maybe a little hiking..  Moving forward.  No looking back.

Week 7

Well, first the good news.  I lost 3.4 lbs since last week!   The bad news, I only lost 1.7 lbs during the past 2 weeks. (Remember I gained last week!).   So averaging less than a pound a week for the past 2 weeks isn't very encouraging.   I still trudge on though.  I have not given up.  I have not cheated. I have kept to my plan and my resolve.   Let's hope that this was just a minor hiccup in my journey. Pedal to the Metal, let's go!
