Weekly Update

Well, this week was a little harder for me to get out and workout. But, having said that, I did get up and do things. I did walk, and I did some workout videos. I just wasn't as intense as normal. This showed since I only lost 2.4 lbs. But, I'm glad for what I've lost this week amid the craziness of life. I've been sewing my costumes for the Music Man and I've been Mommy to two kidos at home. That keeps me going, going, going. So, I'll do better this week, and continue to persevere. I only have 1.6 more lbs to go until I get walking shoes!! YEAH!!

Oh, and Jordan lost 7 lbs. He has like 30 more pounds to go and he moves onto Phase 3. Good job, Hun!

Weekly Update

Well, I've done it! I've lost 26lbs in 5 weeks!! Yeah!!! Recalling my goals/rewards post, I only 4 more lbs to loose and I get a new pair of walking/running shoes! I'm excited about that. I've been holding a $20 gift card to Famous Footwear for nearly a month now and soon I'll get to use it :o).

Since I've lost the 25lbs, it's time for new pictures. I realize I still have a ways to go, but I'm getting there slowly, but surely. So, pictures are posted for me to visually see my own progress.

The next profile pictures will be taken when I loose 50lbs total. I know then I will look significantly different than I do now and even from when I started this diet. I'm excited for those photos.

Jordan has lost 5 lbs this week and a total of 30lbs. So happy for him!!! He is very active at work, but normally would come home and "relax". I've noticed he watches less TV and is more active at home as well now. Great!!! The kids are enjoying the walks I take them on, as well as Daisy. The weather is turning warmer and I'm always excited to go walking on a nice sunny day.

Here comes week 6 of the diet. I realize I may not lose much this week, taking into consideration I lost nearly 5 lbs this week, so I'll work hard and take what I can get. I'm grateful for the progress I've made thus far.

Nothing good ever comes easy.

Weekly Update

Well, I've lost 3.2 lbs this week and Jordan lost 3 lbs. Both really good! I've lost a total of 21.6 lbs in 4 weeks. That's really good. I feel good, too. My clothes are more loose, I feel more energized, and I'm not hungry. That's what I really like about the Dukan Diet. I'm not hungry.

Well, only 3.4 more lbs before I take my -25lbs picture!! Then everyone can see what a difference 25lbs makes. I realize I'm not a beauty queen yet, but I'll get there pound by pound.

I'm in a musical, The Music Man, and I want to lose at least 40lbs total by opening night. Opening night is May 10th, so I have a few more weeks to lose 18.4 lbs. I know the pounds will come off a little slower now, but they'll come off regardless. I need to stick to the diet and keep going, day by day if I have to.

I've stepped up my workout to level two of the Jillian Michaels workout. It's much harder and I am sore, once again. I thought I was getting into better shape. Haha, leave it to me to think that and then step it up a level with Jillian Michaels. Seriously, she kicks your butt. I can't say it enough.

Bring it week 5!
