Ive been very busy recently.  Weight is coming off just not as fast as I had hoped but then again I'm taking my time this time.  But it is coming off.  Ive decided to try and change up my routine a bit.  I'm interchanging kettleworx and cardio every other day.  I was walking 3 miles a day for a while but in order for me to reach the goals I set for myself I would have to walk for over an hour.  I have other things planned in my day.  I love walking but I can save that workout for the weekends.  Besides its been cold and rainy here the past week.  Bbbrrr!

I have been good about my eating habits.  I keep the calorie count under 1500 or at the very least 1800.  As a writer its easy to not get so worked up about missing a meal.  It is a bit more of an adventure to figure out how to work a workout routine in the schedule.  But I manage.  This weekend I am going to the movies with my husband and I think I now have enough discipline to forego the raisinettes.  I will have the popcorn and a small soda.  I don't drink soda at all anymore so having one this weekend is kind of a treat or a setback considering your perspective LOL.

 I hope that your voyage is going well and that you are able to brag about your weight release victories this past month.  I have decided to make a chart for my progress. You know kind of like a growth chart. I have it in my mind how much I want to weigh by my birthday next year but its another thing to actually see the results written down.    I saw this one and decided I will do it.  Its a visual reminder of what you're doing right or what you're doing wrong.  :(

Also very soon I will be starting a podcast on releasing the pounds and speaking to a lot of professionals who have helped many people reach their weight goals.  Like all of you there are days I look forward to working out and I feel highly motivated and other days I have to push myself.  But I suspect that is with anything we choose to do on a consistent basis.  The best thing you can do is write about it.  Whether it's a blog or a journal or a notebook or however you chart your progress and your feelings. It is a good idea and it will help you through the times you feel you are struggling.  Until next time!
