BTW try to take them at the same time and on the same day as the last week...

Okay today I did twenty minutes walk with the dogs..nothing fast but it was better than sitting on my rear I suppose

Today was a day full of activity..Not actual workout stuff but for me it was exercise because normally I'm always in the house. We ran errands all day from 1 all the way to 7. Then we came home and DH wanted to take the dogs for a run. So went to the baseball diamond, and threw the ball around. Had a great time!!!

Went for a walk for 30 minutes with the dogs

Hi there,
Looks like I should be asking you You've done great!! I'd answer you in your journal but you dont have one.. I have no secret to losing weight. Sigh I wish I did....How did you lose your weight? All with atkins?Hugs-

Well, I've been horrible at keeping my gym log but I have been faithful to my exercise, unlike my food But you know what I'm not at all disappointed in myself because I keep my calories at 1500 calories or below. I log my food EVERYDAY in my own personal journal. Have I allowed myself some chips in the past. Yep sure have but I counted calories and allotted them into my calorie intake. Right now I am currently not doing that. I've been lowcarbing it Not atkins way because hubby doesnt agree with the high fat but I'm been eating lots of lean meats, veggies etc basically South Beach but my own. Sorry I know how people hate when they say my own but I'm tayloring it into my own individual needs and it seems to be working because the scale has been kind to me. The day after thanksgiving I weight 223 and now I weigh 217. So I am pleased. Exercise is helping tremendously. If my food is not on target for that day then I have exercise to lean back on because exercise will rev my metabolism for the day, give me lots of energy so I wont just be sitting on the couch. Not only that but the inches melt away. So if the scale says one thing I can just go by the inches. I've gone from couch to a 5K and I'm feeling great!! My next one is in February and I hope to beat my time of 41:47.
