Small Milestone and Progress Update

See? The blog isn't dead. :)

Two weeks ago I decided I needed help getting this weight loss thing moving, so after checking out some online weight loss programs, and then getting an e-mail about a reduced rate on Jillian Michael's site, I decided to join it. And I'm so glad I did!

Her site has laid out a diet for me, which I don't use because I'm far too picky to like the foods they pick for me. But I did go through it and take some tips on what to eat with my meals, and I try to stick to the calorie limit they gave me and try to eat healthy.

More importantly, though, it lays out an exercise program for me. Four days a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) I do circuit training, combining cardio with strength training, and then on Saturday I do cardio. And it's working so well! I can feel my body shrinking and my clothes getting looser. I can see it working, also, because I measure myself every week, and I've lost more than four inches over all in two weeks! Woo!

And here is another great thing - I've lost seven pounds in the last two weeks, and have finally gotten over 20 pounds lost! As of yesterday morning, I have lost 20.5 pounds! Woo!

So, I wanted to let you know, things are going well. I weighed 207 yesterday, and am looking to be under 200 pounds in the next two or three weeks. When I make it, I'll be back to let you know, so you can celebrate with me!
