So far, so good! I’ve officially lost a little over 10 pounds!!
I started this journey on June 10th and as of weigh in today, I’m down 10.4 pounds.
I really feel that the key has been starting to work out again.
I eased myself into it with Leslie Sansone and her Walk Club. This online club is great, because they have 3-5 full length workout videos uploaded to the site each month and the archive goes back to January! So at least 3 unique workouts for every month since January… it is awesome! There are also other great benefits, but the videos are what I use most.
I’ve also been using Youtube videos for short workouts to get short bursts of workouts in.
I recently tried TurboJam for the first time and I love it!! It’s like souped up tae bo. You think you might die while you’re doing it because it’s go go go without a lot of break time, but by the end, you feel great and it’s been awesome! I’ve done 4 different workouts at least once each and I’m already starting to see some results. My forearm even has some muscle tone goin’ on. hahaha
It’s been so fun tracking on MyFitnessPal because it’s sort of like a weed – it spreads like crazy and it nags at you – hard to get rid of, always in the back of your mind. 😉 My friends have started using MFP. LOTS of my friends. What a neat form of encouragement!!
That’s how I am doing! How are you doing to reach your goals??
I’m half a pound away from hitting my first 10lbs loss. Tomorrow is my weigh in day, but I took the past 4 days off of calorie counting, so I’m not holding my breath or anything! lol
You’re doing great lovely! keep up the good work!

While a healthy balanced diet often provides a source of vitamins and minerals, taking dietary supplements on top of your healthy diet may prove beneficial in ensuring your body may be the nutrients it needs each day.
Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight loss. When you engage in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. You don’t need to set aside large chunks of time for exercise to reap weight-loss benefits.
As your body adapts to exercise, you’ll need to push yourself more and more to get the same cardiovascular workout. Another way to know that it’s time to pick up the pace is if you see your weight or waist size start creeping up on you.
Yoga poses work by stretching your muscles. They can help you move better and feel less stiff or tired. At any level of yoga, you’ll probably start to notice benefits soon. In one study, people improved their flexibility by up to 35% after only 8 weeks of yoga.
Exercise is one of those rare things where the hype actually meets reality. Next to not smoking, getting regular physical activity is arguably the best thing you can do for your health. Any amount of exercise is better than none. The more you get, though, the better. And remember: Cutting back on television-watching and other sedentary pastimes is just as important as becoming more active.
Whether it’s some extra protein or something to possibly increase oxygen delivery, pre workout supplements may give you the boost you need while weight training.
One way to gauge moderate activity is with the “talk test”—exercising hard enough to break a sweat but not so hard you can’t comfortably carry on a conversation. Vigorous-intensity aerobic activity causes more rapid breathing and a greater increase in heart rate, but you should still be able to carry on a conversation—with shorter sentences.
Piece your workout together. You don’t need to get all your exercise at one time. Ten minutes morning, noon, and night can give much of the same benefit as 30 minutes all at once.
When you enjoy the sports, you’ll naturally want to do them. Exercise isn’t about suffering and pushing yourself; it’s about being healthy and having fun at the same time. Adding variation in your exercises will keep them interesting
