Learning to sparkle

This week I lost 1.3 pounds. I actually weighed in on Friday and would've had a bigger loss to post but I went to a BBQ on Saturday and had dinner at Cattlemen's last night so I think I may be retaining some alcohol and baby back ribs. hahaha! I am happy with my loss because I know that for most of last week I ate really well. I even tried a new recipe that my friend Karen posted on her blog. I made some Panzanella and it was so good. And each serving is 6 PointsPlus. One of the things that I've discovered with WW is that I need to have some variety in my food because otherwise I get bored and my bad habits come back. I made this salad 3 times this week and it was so good.

Thank you all for your feedback on this post. I appreciate your feedback so much. I posted on the Do Life Facebook page & I made the decision participate on the event this coming Sunday. I am excited & nervous but I will do it even if I am last.

I completed my fitness goal for last week and worked out 3 times. Don't laugh but I did the Richard Simmon's DVD which is basically 50 minutes of cardio. Let me tell you, Richard Simmons is no joke. I was sweating at the end of each session and muscles I didn't know I had were hurting. Oh man but it's the good kind of hurt. He also taught me how to sparkle! If you've ever done his workout DVD's you'll know what I mean. This week my goal is to work out 4 times and that will include the 5K on Sunday. I've already worked out this morning so I only have 3 more to go. Wheee!

My food goal for last week was to drink more water and I certainly upped it. I had two "bad" meals but overall I did really good. For this week, my goal will be to drink more water and to try a new recipe.
