This Is The Last Week of February and Still Continue to Soldier On!

Today's Weight (Wednesday, February 24, 2010): 176.6 Pounds

Total Weight Loss To-Date: 30.4 Pounds

Yes, we're into the final week of February and I'm still continuing on in my "journey to fitness"!

I have to say that at this point, it's getting tougher to do all the things I need to do, given that winter returned to my neck 'o the woods this week. I have gone to exercise class (and will again tomorrow), but my walking routine seems to be out the window. I'm really hoping that the weather warms up very soon because without that walk I don't think I'm getting all of my required 10,000 steps per day in. This is critical for me to get out of the half-pound per week weight loss I'm going through right now. My BP follow-up appointment at the doctor is coming up in a couple of weeks and I want to show him that I'm serious about losing the weight and getting my BP under control (right now, I don't think it is and the doctor will be making a medication adjustment - I'm sure of it!).

At least, I'm not going nuts in the eating department. I continue to weigh the pros and cons in my head when it comes to having that extra portion of chicken, or mashed potatoes(!).

Last week at my WW meeting, the topic was "how to manage eating out". This topic, while interesting, was not one I needed at this time, since I hardly eat out any more. This was quite the primer on what to look for in menus. Needless to say, I would absolutely stay away from anything that says "fried"! I tend to go for anything that's baked or broiled.

Anyway, it's been a slow week and I'm on track and hopefully at my next weigh-in, I'll have lost more than .4 pounds!

Till next week!
