Exercising Update
Saturday was the six week anniversary of working out at the gym. Of course, I did have two and a half weeks when I was sick and didn't attend the gym at all, but for the most part, I'm there every day.I am getting much more stamina in the gym. I used to think 30 minutes on the treadmill was good, and now I walk on the tread mill only after I've done the "real" workout. I see it as a way to cool down. I've even started to do "core work" (groan) every day.
I'm still working twice a week with Adrian
and now, I look like this:
Okay, maybe not so much. I have been shocked, to tell the truth, at how slow my weight loss has been. Of course, exercise is only part of the solution, but I am more active than I have ever been, and I thought that activity would do the trick. I guess that folks were telling the truth when they said that it's hard to lose weight when you're approaching 50.Nevertheless, I have lost a couple of inches, I do feel stronger, I have more energy, and I feel proud of myself.

FWIW, I would not want to look like that girl. I bet that look is a lot of work. ;)
Losing weight and keeping it off...yeah harder and harder.
A few things I learned in WW that are secret factors working against your weight loss: not enough sleep, not enough water, eating too little, and being too stressed.
Anyway for me it was a slow start and then a good clip and then took forever to get the last 7 lbs off. TG for WW; they kept my chin up.
GL...with this effort you're achieving healthy, not a doubt in my mind.
You should feel proud. It's great!
Keep feeling good!
It bums me out.
But. Like you, I am feeling stronger and better all the time.
Keep it up. I know it can be boring and difficult, but the health benefits are enormous.
Good for you!
Oh, and LOVE that beautiful header photo!
