I am now only TWO pounds away from my first weight-loss goal. On December 14, I took on a challenge at my doctor's office. My doc told me that one of his patients lost 30 lbs. in two months. I am happy to report that after seven weeks, I have a total weight loss of 28 lbs.! I lost another 4 lbs. last week making my current weight at 407 lbs. Not only am I 2 lbs. away from my first goal, but I am now SEVEN lbs away from getting out of the 400s.
So how did I lose the 4 lbs.?
I have to attribute it to increasing my cardio workouts throughout the week. My usual routine was doing a DVD 20-min. workout on Mon., Wed. and Friday, and 30-min. of cardio on Tues., Thurs. and Saturday. Since I only lost two pounds the week before, I knew I had to step up my game. So I did at least 20-min. of cardio every day last week. This week I have also incerased my cardio. I usually run a mile a day. Well, today I ran two miles for the first time. It took me just under an hour to do it. This is just the start.
