7lbs lighter - TONS happier!

I just got off the treadmill. I walked for 30 FULL minutes at 3.0 mph on a moderate incline. Burned 112 calories doing so, too. If it wasn’t so dang hot here - I’d be fine.. but I get so overheated when I get on the treadmill.. even in an air conditioned house. If I knew of a good way to keep my body temperature down while on the treadmill - - I’d probably walk for an hour. I have been consuming 3L of water per day - - and had almost 2L down before I got on the treadmill. What’s a girl gotta do? Pack her bra with ice cubes?

Hmm. Maybe that idea has merit?

Anyways - I started the NutriSystemdiet program…. hmm… when.. oh yea - on Thursday August 3 - a week and two days ago. Combined with daily walking and doing stregth training on my Bowflex every other day… I have lost a solid 7lbs!

That’s 7 one-pound bags of sugar, man! I lost that! I’m thrilled and motivated enough to keep this up for at least another few weeks and see if I can’t just grab onto that target weight of mine once and for all!

I have to put a note in here of thanks to my new hubby - without whose support, I wouldn’t be doing this. He is SO encouraging (umm..sometimes annoying) and I probably wouldn’t have gotten into the daily treadmill habit if it weren’t for him and his encouragement (nagging). He knows how much I really want to drop these last 30 lbs - - he knows how much it bothers me.. and he also knows how much of a procrastinator I am… so he reminds me daily. He does wonderful things.. like today…. “Hey baby - how about I do those two loads of laundry… while you get on the treadmill? Deal?” He’s super!

I also am very happy with the NutriSystemprogram, so far. It’s extremely easy to stick to. I feel full.. I don’t feel like I’m starving. I eat 5 times a day - and the food is really quite good. I’m so pleased with it that I’m going to order another month’s worth when the time comes.
