Weight Loss Update

K people, here are the stats. I've been on my thing (weight loss plan, workout schedule, whatever) for 4 weeks and 1 day, and today I have officially lost 10 lbs and 10 inches around my slowly shrinking body... :-) Feelin' good and looking forward to the next month, and hopefully the next 10 lbs. Thanks everyone for your words of encouragement. I love you all!

Renewing New Year's Resolutions

Yes, I know, I'm a lame blogger :-( However, this post brings good news, at least for me. As you may have read from my previous post, I started doing the Insanity workouts. The regimen I started then (4 months ago) didn't work out as well as I imagined. I continued to do the workouts, maybe not as consistently as I should have, but I continued to work out, and I still am. But I wasn't achieving the results I was looking for--probably because I was justifying the ~3000 calories I was consuming each day. (Actually, I don't know how many calories I was inputting, but it was definitely more than the recommended amount. Maybe you are aware of how much I...appreciate, food?) Anywho, I did some researching, and came up with my own weight loss plan. I've cut back my calorie intake, upped my workouts to a daily occurrence, and I am proud to say....since January 5th (that's when I started this dealio)...I have lost 8 pounds :-) and am well on my way to my target weight! Thank you, thank you. I delayed sharing this with everyone until I was sure I could keep this up, and now I'm in a routine that I am sure I can stick to. Especially since I've seen the results :-) Thanks for enduring my little bragging session, but I'm a little proud of myself. Little bit.
