Weigh In: Week 4

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 fat​se​cret​.com . It’s like myspace for dieters! LOL! I love it! I’m MsRikki on there..add me as a buddy!

Weigh In: Week 3

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 Over​stock​.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!

Forced to walk.

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.
