What a Wonderful Wednesday Weigh In

I was VERY pleasantly surprised today at my weigh in. (Results to follow). I began thinking of what I did different. Here's what I came up with. I increased my walking to 1 hour 3 days a week. I bumped up my "Weight Loss Walking Program" on my treadmill from level 2 to level 3. That bump caused me to burn 298 calories per 30 minutes (up from 268 calories from level 2). And finally, I started taking one of those 'miracle pills' I had laying around the house. Now, let me tell you, I've been a sucker for all the miracle pills advertised. You know the ones.. "just take a pill and you'll have the body of Brad Pitt...". "Lose weight while you sleep"... etc. NONE OF THEM EVER DID WHAT THE SNAKE OIL SALESMEN SAID THEY WOULD DO.

Well I saw this bottle at my local Costco (If you're a regular reader, you already know I LOVE COSTCO.) Here's a picture of the bottle. It's called Green Tea Fat Burner made by Applied Nutrition.

If you go to www.costco.com and do a search for Green Tea, the product will come you. You can read about all the ingredients in the product. I won't bore you with them here.

I was walking down the aisle of Costco and saw this product and to be honest, what caught my eye was the 'green tea'. I'm an avid drinker of green tea and figured I can have my green tea and burn my fat at the same time (interject my sarcasm at the 'burn my fat at the same time' line). Anyway, a couple weeks ago, I ran across the bottle in my pantry and decided to start taking it daily.

Now, I don't know if it's the pills, the increase excercise, or just a natural drop, but I LOST 5 POUNDS AND 1 INCH THIS WEEK. I'll let you draw your own conclusions... It will be interesting to see next weeks results.
