Loss: 0.4 lbs. Total: 8.8 lbs. My jeans are definitely fitting looser, and my black dress pants are too. I’m actually going to have to buy a belt for the first time in YEARS!

This week was a little rough. Not to get into graphic detail, but it was the wrong time of month. Blah. That wasn’t the worst part though. I tried the first of my Firm TransFIRMation videos: Hi-Def Sculpt, on Saturday. WHEW! It was a true workout! After that, I proceeded to go about my day. Took my son bowling, as I do every Saturday, then I had to walk to my church for a meeting. Walked home after that, stayed home about 3 hours, then walked back to the church for a rehearsal. By the time I got to rehearsal, my knees were SCREAMING. I guess I had done too much. Anyhoo..my knees kept hurting all day Sunday AND Monday. So..I didn’t do any exercise after Saturday.

I guess I should feel blessed that I lost the little that I did. The receptionist at my WW meeting told me that eating the same things all the time can get your body into a rut, also. Of course..cuz I get real comfortable eating the same things. It was working for me. Now I have to change up. I don’t wanna change. Change gives me too many choices! But I listened to her, and after the meeting, I went to the store and bought different foods.

My knees feel better now, so tomorrow is definitely an exercise day. With that..and the changeup in diet, hopefully I can see at least a pound gone next week!

OH….for those of you who are doing WW or any kind of diet, go to fatsecret.com . It’s like myspace for dieters! LOL! I love it! I’m MsRikki on there..add me as a buddy!

Lost 1.2 lbs….for a total of 8.4 lost in 3 weeks!

I will admit, I felt a twinge of disappointment. Disappointment, NOT discouragement. Nothing is going to make me quit. As I said last week, as long as the weight is going down, I’m happy.

I went back to the 2 mile walk, BUT I added the weights to it. Yes, I fixed my DVD. Toothpaste works wonders! I knew I could not do 3 miles with weights and I want to use the weights go build up muscle as I lose the weight. I’ll get to the 3 mile again soon!

I ordered The Firm’s TransFIRMation system on Overstock.com at a GREAT price! I want to build up a library of exercise videos so that I don’t get bored. And as I said….build up muscle as I lose weight. The Firm is a little more difficult, so we’ll see how that goes.

Anybody heard of Zumba? It’s an exercise routine, but more like Latin dancing than straight up working out. I want to get that one next…but my wallet says NO.

My new addiction: Air popped popcorn! The picture above is the air popper that I have, thanks to my daddy! Air popped popcorn is a great snack on the WW program. Now…ain’t no way I can eat tasteless popcorn. I found a great company that offers a lot of different seasonings for popcorn: No More Naked Popcorn.

I bought White Cheddar, Kettle Corn, Apple Cinnamon, Parmesan & Garlic, and Chocolate Marshmallow. They have a special: Buy 4, get one free. You can get them at Wal-Mart and some grocery stores, but the selection is limited. My store had the White Cheddar, Parm & Garlic, and Butter..but none of the others. All in all, I paid $21 for 5 bottles of seasoning that will last me quite a while. Don’t even THINK about ordering it from Amazon: The shipping isn’t worth it!

I tried the Kettle Corn this afternoon..it was pretty good, a nice touch of sweet. I said I’m addicted to popcorn..so I may just make more before I go to bed. LOL!

Another new item: Diet Chocolate Cherry Dr. Pepper. YUM! And it goes with my popcorn just fine!

Had to do the 3 mile.  I made it!  And at 5:40AM to boot!

My intention was to do the Walk Away The Pounds 1-Mile walk for a month, just so I could get used to exercising again.  However, my DVD had other ideas.  I put it in today and clicked on the 1 mile….it would act like it was starting, but go right back to the menu.  I had two choices: Do the 2 mile or not exercise?  Wait a minute. NOT EXERCISE?  Yeah..so I really had no choice but to do the 2 mile.  I did it, no problem.  Of course, right before the cool down, the DVD stopped. I think it has a scratch on it.  My next choice is the 3 mile.  THREE MILE?

I don’t think I’m ready!

Spent a lot of time yesterday on the site.  Got the gallery up.  I really love Wordpress!  The plugins that are available are awesome.  Anyway, check the site out, tell me what you think.
