This week I went on a 4 mile walk/jog, a 5 mile walk, did Zumba, did an 8 mile bike ride, did some strength resistance with bands, and tracked my calories every day. I also stayed away from sugar for the week.
I lost a pound, and I worked it off. Even though my body aches and I'm really tired, it is totally worth it.
I've really found that having a balanced diet while watching your calories is what gets you to lose weight. The exercise is important, of course, but without watching what you eat, there is no way you can really lose it. Also, when you eat right, you want to work out more. It gives you motivation to make your whole life healthier.
I'm so grateful that I've started doing this. I'm happier, I feel much better, and other things in my life are falling into place. I know it's hard to begin, but I started slowly. I rented walking videos from the library, then did a harder walking video, and then borrowed one from Amy. I like doing this blog, because it motivates me as I know I have to be accountable.
