Still on track :)

And the results are in.............down...down...down. :) Ned is down another 7 (ahhhhh) and I'm down 3 1/2. So that is a total of 44lbs lighter between the two of us.
Looks like it sure paid off to keep eating right even while we were sick. We got back to the gym today...and surprisingly enough...we did great. We worked hard and didn't even cough or anything.
We are both feeling really good with this lifestyle change. Let's keep up all the good work :)

Sicky

We've been sick all week. We worked out last Sunday and Monday...but not since. We've both had coughs and colds all week that have prevented us from doing much of anything. Of course this happened on the most beautiful week of weather. We did manage to get out a little in the sunshine and do a little photography up by the Lewis River.

We did go out to dinner with Ned's niece Velvadene and her family. We went to Newport Bay and we did very well with staying on our diet. That is one thing that I can commend us for doing this week...even though we were sick...we kept up on the eating good portion of our diet :)

5 times a week

Well...here we are at the end of our 5th week now...getting ready to start our 6th. :) This week we managed to do 5 days of cardio :) One of those days we went to the Salmon Creek Greenway and walked 6 miles at the good pace of 4.0mph. (Faster than we walk at the gym) It was a great workout...and we were really sore the rest of the day.

We've kept on a good track....Ned down 18 and myself down 15.5. We are continuing on this journey with a good outlook.

We went to the mall yesterday to look around. It's the 3rd or 4th time we've been there and haven't gotten any See's candy......that's remarkable in itself. I did get to sit and enjoy a pedicure for 45 minutes...and believe me...it was wonderful after that 6 mile walk.

So another week down....another one ahead. And collectively we are 33.5 lbs lighter. :)

4 weeks down :)

"They" say that it takes 21 days of doing something to make it a habit. So does that mean that working out is a habit now? We are going on our 5th week now. We have consistently done 4-5 days a week of cardio. We always do at least 45 min and often do a little more.

I feel myself getting a touch of a cold. I sure hope that it does not slow me down. We really are doing quite well. Ned has lost 15 1/2 lbs and I have lost 13 lbs. I'd say that is pretty good for a month. We both feel remarkably better. We sleep soundly and feel like we are doing better in our everyday lives. It's easier to do some things and we find that our energy is up. What a great new habit we have formed :)

Feeling ohhhhh so gooood!!!

It's been one of those days where I have felt incredibly good. Work went well and we even went and worked out after I got home. We did some cardio followed by some weights. We actually both felt like we could go another hour if we wanted. It was one of those nights where I was working hard...but my body felt like it could totally handle it. It felt really great....and I'm still feeling awesome. I hope that I keep having days like today. I feel so empowered...mind, body, and soul. Today...I feel like I can do anything. :) We have a busy weekend ahead...and even Superbowl on Sunday. We've planned a pretty healthy party at my mom's house. It should be lots of fun. Today has sure been encouraging to me. I'm loving it. We are just shy of 4 weeks of working out. Lets keep up the dedication :)
