Subject: Wow!

After only 2 days back on "no cheating" I am at my first goal for the month! My first goal was to get back to my June low weight of 225. Anything after this will be NEW weight lost. This puts me back to 57 pounds lost since starting the diet in March of 2000.

The first 50 came off quickly, but the last 7 has been a struggle. Throughout my 2 plus years on (and off) the diet, I have changed body shape (lost inches) but was really struggling to lose pounds.

Last night I started doing the dreaded aerobics. I really hate them (as much as Kel hates weight lifting, I hate cardio). But I forced myself to keep going for at least 15 minutes. I kept asking my husband how much time had passed; it felt like at least 15 minutes after only the first 5 minutes, so to keep going for 15 was good for me. They say that cardio is good for burning fat and that lifting is good for building muscle which burns more calories and increases your metabolism so that even resting you keep on burning calories.

I've always been more fond of a lower speed, less heart stressing activities, but I guess if I'm going to get serious about losing this weight I need to do both AND the diet.

Anyway that is 3 pounds off for me in just 2 days, so something is working. Now if I can just take off an additional 5 before the end of the month I will make my second goal!
