Well, I made it. I lost another pound last week. Just one this time. So, for the first two weeks of our Ten Pounds Down campaign I have lost a total of three pounds. My weekly average is minus 1.5. lbs. My weight this morning was 181. My goal in this ten week program is 174. I really feel like I can make it.
How about you? How did it go for you this week? Did you shed or add any weight this week? It’s tough. It really is. A WRAL colleague who is participating in the program lost a pound and a half this week after gaining a pound the week before. I would love to hear your stories.
The best part of this program is that I feel so much better. I had heard that most dieters are miserable. I was already exercising regularly before I started. But now I am eating better. Dietitian Avril Young’s suggestion of adding a fruit snack while I am on the air helped out tremendously. Those bananas and apples are working wonders. Plus, the diet log has been quite helpful even though, I admit, it was a pain getting started.
Please keep those questions about diet and exercise coming. We’ll get some solid answers for you.
