I lost (6lbs) (6bls) (6lbs) (6lbs) in one week

I lost (6lbs) (6bls) (6lbs) (6lbs) in one week. I’m so excited. I weighed myself this morning and the scale did not say “to be continued”. Thank you to everyone that has emailed me and commented with advice on how to change my life style. So far it’s working. I have been taking your advice and incorporating it into my everyday routine.

No trainer, No gym, and No expensive diet plan. I’ve done all these and have never lost 6lbs in one week. One thing I do have is great friends and support from everyone. I hope next week is the same results but, I promise I wont get discouraged and quit if its not. Besides I have a really embarrassing picture of myself in a “to small” Victoria Secret bikini on Tracey’s computer just waiting to go up in one year. No one wants to see that so the more advice you have the more chances you have to avoid that picture.

The thing I was unable to conquer is getting up in the morning and exercising. I’ve done it once on Monday but, oh my it’s such a pain in the ass. I’m trying to get addicted to working out so that my body just gets up and does it with out me having to open my eyes. Maybe one day right? I come home @ 6:30 and the first thing I do is put on my work out clothes and just do it Walking around the 3 buildings at work during my lunch break is so much more energizing then going to Taco Bell or Boston Market in traffic for an hour. If any of you see a girl that looks like she just rolled out of bed walking around your building over and over again peeking in every now and then, don’t be alarmed it’s just me trying to losing weight. Luckily I don’t have to dress up for work so it’s convenient to exercise at work. I learned some office exercises from a book called Keeping Fitness Simple by Porter Shimer. This book is absolutely great boredom material. I work with 3 guys so they pick on me for doing random lunges to the copy machine or water cooler.

Thanks again to everyone that has helped keep the motivation going and if you have any great low fat recipes please let me have a peek at them. My Friend and I are always looking for a good recipe. I still need some good exercise training as well, so I will be getting some DVDs that you recommended over the weekend.
Don’t forget Friday is weigh in day!
