Jan 21, 2009

Good morning OH Family!! Well, I am happy to FINALLY announce that I have reached my 50lbs goal and I did it 4 days early!! I said that I wanted to reach it by my next appointment with Lisa which is this coming Monday (26th). I am sitting pretty @ 274. I think this is the least I have weighed since my 2nd or 3rd year of college. I had been sitting in the 280 range for about 4 months and finally last week I lost 6 pounds in less than 7 days!! I was amazed because I didn't work out any during the week. I found out what my problem has been. WATER RETENTION!!  I found out that I retain water like hell. I went all last week and didn't drink anything but pure water and the pounds flew off. Before then I had been drinking things like sugar-filled juices (lemonade, apple, cranberry,etc.). And I hadn't been getting in enough pure water.  So once I got in at least 8 glasses of water, the water retention disappeared. And I am still going strong today. I have an appointment with my PCP in about an hour and he's going to be shocked !! That's 21 poounds since he last saw me and it has been 11 pounds since my last fill with Lisa (Dec. 15th). I am so in love with this band of mine. Oh yeah by the way I bought a Wii Fit and it is the best thing. So on the days I don't feel like getting out in the cold to go to the gym, I just hop on it and do some jogging, aerobics, or yoga. I got the game with Jillian from "The Biggest Loser" and she does NOT play!! But I love it. To anyone who is looking for a way to add some fun to their workout, the Wii Fit is a GREAT investment!! Well, that's it for now... KEEP LOOSING AND I WILL DO THE SAME!!
