Giving Up

I finally gave in and learned how to use the bowflex. I have to admit I really like it. My first goal is just to tone my body and lose seven pounds. My wake up call was when I stepped on the scale three weeks ago, and I only weighed eight pounds less than I did the day I delivered Levi. Last week I lost two, and so far this week I have lost one. I stopped drinking soft drinks of any kind (my personal weakness) and started making better choices for meals and snacks. So far so good. I also want to start walking two mornings a week. If anyone is interested in joining me, let me know.

If I lived closer I would totally walk with you! I too stepped on the scales and weighed more than when I had Ryan! AHHHH!!!! That was about a month ago, maybe more, and since making a few small changes I have dropped almost “15‘lbs! WOOHOO! Check out www.myfitnesspal.com it is an awesome website. I use it just about every day.

I'm flexible, whatever works out for everyone. Trying to get Stacy and Faith on board. Lynn has said she would too.

Thursday and / or Tuesday mornings are good days for me to walk. Congrats, Shannon, for beginning on the bowflex.
