As stated in a previous post, I was blessed not to gain weight during the holidays...seeing as I wasn't exactly an angel with my halthy low carb eating.
Well, as of last Monday I decided to get serious about losing my last 20 lbs! To assist in 'kick starting' my weightloss, I have opted to do an Atkin's-ish eating regimen. ie: very high protein low carb eating regimen *and by low carb I mean like 20 net carbs a day for 2 weeks* then of course adding 5 good carbs *complex carbs* each week until I reach my goal of 150lbs.
Also, I'm really making an effort to drink more water. I've been averaging 6-7 cups a day...almost the 8-8 oz cups I truly need each day.
Naturally I've started a regular cardio workout schedule for 20 min a day 3 days a week. Next week I'm adding 2 days of weight training in addition to the 3 days of cardio. I figure that if I can ease my way into a routine I'll be more apt to stick with it.
So far I've lost 2 lbs and I am extatic about this!! I've noticed that as I get closer to goal weight, it gets harder to lose even just 1 lb a week!
Also, just found out this week that I've been honored to be a 'testimonial' for the weight loss surgery center where I had my RNY: (click pic to enlarge)
We've had a LOT of cold weather and snow here in Tennessee this week. I can honestly say that I am READY for Spring!!!
Anyhow, that's all I've got for right now. Until next time!
