A new reason to lose weight …
Come Thanksgiving time, I’m going to be an aunt … and I want to be a healthy one!
I’ve read a lot of blogs that say “I got healthy for my kids.” Since I don’t have any, I’ll use my brother’s impending arrival as an extra push to reach that weight-loss goal. I have about 57 pounds to lose to get there, but I can do it.
I figured out that’s an average of 2 pounds a week from now through November … which may be tough, but it’s still do-able. The experts recommend you lose 1-2 pounds a week, after all.
That means it’s up to me to do a better job of resisting the BF’s temptation, and keep up the good workouts. Today, I hit another boot camp express class — with a different instructor. (It was a harder class … I got a little woozy at one point and ended up sitting down on my mini-trampoline. Maybe I should just stick to Zumba!) I also did 30 minutes on the treadmill after class.
Points-wise, it’s been a pretty good day. I’m at 31 1/2 of my 28, but that’s before I figure in a few of those APs. I ate all my fruits and veggies, managed to get in all my oil, but I’m shy on dairy … maybe I’ll go home and fix a glass of skim “chocolate” milk with FF chocolate syrup.
It’d sure be nice to have a good, OP day on my first day with that added motivation!
AAC: 1.5/3 (I’m counting Monday’s 20-minute workout as a half, because it wasn’t as long as it should have been.)
